Beyond the Awards | TNCPE Programs & Services
While the core of TNCPE's assessment program remains the application and awards process, we are committed to meeting you where you are. We offer several opportunities to engage your team with the Criteria and level up your performance excellence journey. Whether you're in between applications, just starting out, or need a little tune-up after an especially hard year, we can help!
The Partnership Performance Assessment
The Partnership Performance Assessment (PPA) allows members of your workforce to collaborate with trained TNCPE examiners to assess the organization and identify opportunities for improvement.
The best part? No written application is required! This dynamic process is ideal for mature organizations who are looking for a Baldrige “tune-up” or need help breaking through to the next award level. Although minimal preparation is required, the results are immediately actionable.
The PPA benefits include:
- One-on-One Coaching with a Master Examiner
- Condensed Timeline with Minimal Preparation
- Site Visit that Engages your Team
- Customized Assessment with your Goals in Mind
- Internal Team Development, Collaboration, & Buy-in
- Prescriptive Feedback Developed Internally
- Feedback Report for Long-Term Sustainability
