Showcase Criteria

The Sterling Team Showcase Criteria provide concepts and guidelines for teams to demonstrate their approach to fulfilling the Florida Sterling Criteria for Performance Excellence. The criteria are used by the showcase judges to evaluate the tools and techniques the team used and the results achieved.

The first phase of participation in the Sterling Team Showcase is to submit an Application of Intent by February 1st. Teams then submit a PowerPoint with notes, by email electronically, of the team’s project to the Florida Sterling Council. The applications should be emailed to JSherlock@floridasterling.com by no later than March 15th.

Details on the team showcase are listed in the Sterling Team Showcase Criteria. During the first phase of the judging process, the PowerPoint is scored against the Criteria in Categories 1 through 6 by a team of experienced independent judges and constitutes 75% of team’s overall score. The remaining 25% of the score is based the Category 7 criteria and an oral presentation at the annual Sterling Conference Team Showcase. The Notes under each Category item are to be used as guidance for team responses and the judging process. The total possible score for each segment, written and oral, is 40 points.

The Judges, using the scoring guidelines contained in this packet, will determine up to six teams that best meet the Team Showcase Criteria from all applications submitted. Those teams are then eligible to compete at the annual Florida Sterling Conference Team Showcase in Orlando.
