KYCPE ~ MEMBERSHIP
Membership
The mission of the Kentucky Center for Performance Excellence is to offer education, recognize significant
achievements, and share the winning strategies and best practices among all organizations. The mission
includes communicating the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence to all organizations across
Kentucky, helping them to understand and apply the criteria, promoting the sharing of best practices, and
providing recognition for organizations who set an example of success. The purpose is not to give an award,
but rather to provide a service to organizations - large and small; to provide a framework for the continuous
improvement of the quality of Kentucky's goods and services.
Our vision is for all Kentucky organizations to be recognized for world-class performance. The benefits to
Kentucky and its economy will be increased prestige and credibility plus gained market share along with the
obvious quality and reliability improvements inherent in applying the principals contained in the Baldrige
Criteria for Performance Excellence.
Because of the learning inherent in completing an application for the KYCPE award and in the feedback report
an organization receives from KYCPE, the effort that goes into the self-assessment and applying for the Award
traditionally results in a significant return on the organization’s investment. The process will help to prioritize
opportunities for improvement and identify strengths to celebrate and build upon.
As a result, the rate at which the organization improves should accelerate.
Each applicant gains an outside perspective of its organization based on hours of review by members of the
Board of Examiners and the Panel of Judges. The results of this review are synthesized in a feedback report
outlining strengths and opportunities for improvement based on the Baldrige Criteria. Feedback reports are
often used by organizations as part of their strategic planning process to focus on their customers, strategies,
and to improve results. Traditionally the process helps to energize and guide their organizational improvement
effort.
Membership with the Kentucky Center for Performance Excellence (KYCPE) states firmly your organization's
commitment to the concepts of quality and continuous improvement. Your membership provides to your
organization the framework for improvement and the opportunity for all Kentucky organizations to advance
toward and achieve performance excellence.
