Task P.2.1 View the 2019-2020_Baldrige_Framework_Criteria_Commentary (pdf). Read section P.2 Organizational Situation to learn its purpose and use.

Task P.2.2 Review P.2-LFT-S Organizational Profile Part 2 (survey).

Task P.2.3 Make a list of survey responders. The people in your organization who know the most about the organization's customers, markets, and competitors are ideal responders to the survey. Usually, a small group of people is adequate. They will respond to the questions in the P.2 Organizational Situation Survey.

PROGRESS: You have reached Milestone 1 (good work). Input the status [18%] on the organization's OE21 Intranet Main page alongside the title of this standard.

Tasks P.2.4 Launch the P.2-LFT-S Organizational Profile Part 2 Survey.

Tasks P.2.5 Close and Export Survey. After responders have submitted their inputs to the survey then close the survey. Next, use the survey system to export the results to a spreadsheet file.

Tasks P.2.6 Review Survey. Review the P.2 Organizational Situation Survey (export file) to make sure the data collected are accurate, valid, and complete.

NOTE: When your organization has finished conducting this survey, go to your Intranet OE21 Main page and use your organization's link to this survey to review the results.

PROGRESS: You have reached Milestone 2 (good work). Input the status [32%] on the organization's OE21 Intranet Main page alongside the title of this standard.

Tasks P.2.7 Create P.2 Organizational Description Document. Survey responders collaborate to create a two-page P.2 Organizational Situation document file. The 2-page limit applies only if you intend to submit the P.2 document as part of a Baldrige Award Process. The applications for Baldrige Awards typically allow a maximum of five pages for the Baldrige Profile (Parts 1 and Part 2 combined).

Tasks P.2.8 - Audit and save the final P.2 Organizational Situation document.

Task P.2.9 - (Optional) - Publish the P.2 Organizational Situation document on your organization's Intranet (non-public access) with a login/password for only those who should see this competitive information.
