Wisconsin Fast Forward

Wisconsin Fast Forward is WFA's new short-form application, designed for easier response to basic and overall requirements of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. Fast Forward is particularly recommended for organizations in the beginning stages of their performance journey or those without the time or resources to devote to the full application process. You may also find these materials useful as part of a self-assessment process within your organization.

Organizations who go through the Fast Forward process through Wisconsin Forward Award receive Baldrige-based feedback from members of the Board of Examiners based on their responses to the questions in the Fast Forward workbook, as well as a follow-up session.

Materials
