"David Spong is a hero from among the quality gurus of our time...and more than expounding on successful principles, he has practiced them and achieved the highest level of success with them. His and Ms. Collard's book describes their journey, highlights the key criteria and issues they had to address, and provides excellent insight into the 'behind the scenes' debates and agreements that occurred to lead Boeing to demonstrate their absolute and unwavering dedication to the Baldrige framework to start their journey before and continue their journey beyond winning the National Quality Award for manufacturing (1998) and service (2003)."
