The Partnership for Excellence is the premier state Baldrige-based program for Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, and Illinois. We support organizations like yours on their journey for performance excellence. The Partnership for Excellence (TPE) works directly with organizations from all sectors of the economy to help them improve performance using the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. The Baldrige Criteria are internationally recognized and have been used since 1987 as a holistic management system to help organizations see improved results. We assist organizations through self-assessments by evaluating organizational approaches (processes), and the extent to which they are deployed, evaluated, improved, aligned and integrated throughout the organization and their effectiveness at driving organizational results. Our primary product is a comprehensive organizational assessment that helps leaders better understand and prioritize key strengths and opportunities for improvement. TPE also administers the Awards for Performance Excellence, recognizing organizational achievement based on the Criteria for Performance Excellence and culminating in each state's highest award, the Platinum-Level, Governor's Award for Excellence.
