The Institute for Sustainability


Building Organizational Excellence
Whether it has one or two hundred employees, every organization should be seeking to continually improve itself, to be setting goals to achieve new heights compared to its own self-determined goals. In its description of an excellent or best-in-class organization, Criteria for Performance Excellence, the Baldrige National Quality Program defines Organizational Excellence as an integrated approach to organizational performance management that results in:

  1. The delivery of ever-improving value to customers and stakeholders, contributing to organizational sustainability and growth

  2. Continual improvement of the organization's overall effectiveness and capabilities

  3. Organizational and personal learning

  4. Fulfilling its societal responsibilities, including using sound environmental practices.

Don't let the words fool you. It's just a fancy way for saying you want your organization to be the best it can be and in the end that it meets your goals and those of the people who have a stake in its success, including the community in which you operate. Most consultants come in and tell you "what" you need to do, take your money and then disappear. Firm Foundations advisors are different. We take you through proven planning and thinking processes so you can decide what is best for you and your organization. But that's not the end of our relationship. We stay with you, providing our implementation experience so as you work through the "how" of "what" needs to be done, we are there to insure you achieve the results you are looking for.

If you are looking to build an excellent organization, we can help. Give us a call or drop an email to arrange a "getting to know each other" session.
