The application should come before the group for approval. When the canidate's achievement is acceepted the group should hold a brief award ceremony at our monthly meetings.

What I think we need is continued support for front line recognition - so I'm thinking more of the "buckeyes on the helmet for a good play" model than the Certificate of Achievement for the company. Maybe for the company/plant level, the network could do mutual assessments (i've seen a couple of self administered ones, modeled on the Shingo evaluation). What a great way to get on each others' case in a structured, constructive way. Then we recognize/honor high scores and significant progress? -ALB Dwight:
