Get Involved

How do you launch a journey toward performance excellence? TNCPE can help you and your organization improve systems and increase results. Or maybe you just want to support an organization that prides itself on making Tennessee a better place to live and work. Whatever your motivation, there are several ways to get involved in TNCPE:

Apply for a TNCPE Award

As the foundation of our program, the TNCPE Awards are the process we use to evaluate organizations and provide feedback that can be used for continuous improvement. Applying for an award is a practical, powerful step your organization can take to achieve its goals.

Use tools like 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. Learn how Baldrige Express can help your organization>
