The purpose of this book is to explain the Team Excellence Framework (TEF) and how to leverage it to ensure the success of your improvement teams. This framework has a long-standing track record of providing the means by which teams can produce highly successful outcomes for their organizations. Established in l985 and run under the auspices of ASQ, it enables organizations to harness the power that comes from coupling teamwork with systematic continuous improvement methodology.

This book is organized to help you first understand why the TEF is beneficial and then provide knowledge based on best practice to enable you to successfully apply it. This knowledge is derived from two major sources: experts who have been involved in improving and assessing the performance of improvement teams by using the TEF, and those who have been associated with successful teams that used the TEF.

Using the TEF as a guide leads teams and their management sponsors to consistently high levels of success. In today’s competitive global marketplace, continuous improvement of organizational results and the workforce who generates them is not optional!
