The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program has released the 2019–2020 Baldrige Excellence Framework (Business/Nonprofit). The 2019–2020 Baldrige Excellence Framework (Education) and 2019–2020 Baldrige Excellence Framework (Health Care) will be released mid-January 2019. All three versions include the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, core values and concepts, and guidelines for evaluating your organization's processes and results.
Revisions to the Baldrige Excellence Framework, as with previous editions, aim to reflect the leading edge of validated leadership and performance practice.
The 2019-2020 Baldrige Excellence Framework (Business/Nonprofit) features a renewed focus on
- Leading and managing in the context of your business ecosystem
- Enabling an aligned, collaborative, and agile supply network
- Creating and reinforcing your organizational culture
- Broadening your cybersecurity focus to include your operations, workforce, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders
The 2019–2020 Baldrige Excellence Framework booklets cost $30 for printed copies (available from ASQ) and $12 for electronic PDF copies (available from NIST, which houses the Baldrige Program). Volume discounts are available for bulk orders of both printed and electronic copies. Enterprise licenses are also available; if interested, contact the Baldrige program at baldrige [at] nist.gov (baldrige[at]nist[dot]gov) or 301-975-2036.
