START THE JOURNEY Application
The Ohio Partnership for Excellence (OPE) is the
state program administering the Ohio Award for Excellence,
using the Criteria for Performance Excellence of
the Baldrige National Quality Program. Specific
criteria are available for business, education,
government, health care and non-profit organizations.
With OPE, you can begin using the criteria at any
one of three levels! The entrance level will be
assessed by OPE, in collaboration with your organization.
The decision is primarily based on knowledge of
the Baldrige criteria, whether an Organizational
Profile has been written, whether an employee survey
has been conducted, and other factors.
The intent of OPE is to "meet you" wherever
you are in your journey, and help you progress as
effectively and efficiently as possible. OPE assists
organizations to understand the Baldrige Criteria
and assist leadership teams to begin their Journey
to Performance Excellence and make a long-term commitment
to continuous improvement.
