What is the objective of the feedback from the judges?
Feedback is the key to entering the competition. On one level it is ASQ’s charge to give the best customer service available to teams. On another level, the preliminary round feedback describes how the teams met the specific criteria or how they can meet the criteria in the future. The teams that qualify for the final round competition use the preliminary round feedback to improve their presentation at the live competition. Whether the team qualifies for the final round or not, the feedback is the most important part of the Team Competition Award Process. The judging panels work hard to assure that the feedback is helpful to the teams. The desired effect is improvement for the team and their capability to contribute to their respective organization.
