Baldrige Express

When you take steps to better your organization, you need to know if your efforts are working. But figuring that out can be easier said than done.

The Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence, in conjunction with the National Council for Performance Excellence, offers a high-level diagnostic tool that can help. Called Baldrige Express, it's designed to help you gauge deployment of improvement initiatives. This useful tool is available to you throughout the year. Call TNCPE for details: (800) 453-6474, (615) 889-8323.

Annual TNCPE Excellence Conference and Awards Banquet

February 21-22, 2012

The annual Excellence in Tennessee Conference is structured to be both inspirational and practical. You'll learn performance improvement techniques from speakers who will energize you and your workforce. From Baldrige to LEAN to process management and more, the TNCPE conference is a meeting point where the performance-minded develop skills and network.

The Banquet
Held in conjunction with the Excellence Conference, the Excellence in Tennessee Awards Banquet is a gala event where regional organizations are recognized for their achievements in the pursuit of organizational excellence. State dignitaries hand out awards honoring companies and individuals that have reached the high standards of the Baldrige-based program run by TNCPE.

During the banquet, hundreds gather to honor the organizations who completed the TNCPE award application processes. Excellence, Commitment, Achievement or Interest Awards are handed out, based on participating organizations' level of achievement.

This is also the night when TNCPE gives out individual awards: The Ned R. McWherter Leadership Award honors an individual who exemplifies outstanding leadership in the pursuit of performance excellence. The Champion of Excellence Award recognizes the accomplishments of an individual who has been a role model in the pursuit of performance excellence within his or her organization.
