About the 2005 International Team Excellence Competition
The International Team Excellence Competition is the only international team recognition process of its kind in the Country. Since 1985, 719 teams from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and China have participated in this outstanding process.
The Competition Process
Participating teams are asked to submit a 25-minute video explaining their project and process. These presentations are then judged on how well they meet 36 Team Evaluation Criteria. The Criteria rate everything necessary for team success-from the project's impact on organizational goals, project selection and purpose-to action planning, project buy-in, implementation, progress, and results. In the preliminary round the video entries are carefully evaluated by a panel of judges organized into several reviewing stations across the U.S. These judges, all team process experts, represent diverse experience and industries and complete rigorous training that ensures consistency in their evaluations.
Selection
Qualifying Teams (Finalists) will be selected for the live presentations at ASQ's Annual Conference. All finalists will be recognized and receive trophies throughout the general sessions. The three highest scoring teams will also receive the coveted Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards. These final winners will be announced as part of the intense excitement of the closing session.
