The New Mexico Performance Excellence Awards, modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, provide participating organizations with feedback on their strengths and their opportunities for improvement. This feedback is based on the time-tested Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, which provides an assessment framework to gauge organizational performance. The criteria address seven categories: Leadership; Strategic Planning; Customer and Workforce Focus; Measurement, Analysis, and Knowledge Management; Operations Focus; and Results.
Quality New Mexico’s mission is to drive performance excellence in New Mexico organizations by providing role models, tools, knowledge, learning experiences, and best practices. The non-profit, 501(C)3, provides training, assessments, coaching/mentoring, and pubic recognition to those who have achieved various levels of improvement on their excellence journey.
