Both Diane and Julie have used their consulting and process improvement skills in their volunteer service as Examiners for the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence (TNCPE) in 2010. The TNCPE’s mission is to “lead organizations in the pursuit of performance excellence, improving results and contributing to the economic vitality of their region.” As examiners, they utilized the Baldrige Criteria for performance excellence to assess TNCPE applications and prepare feedback reports utilized by applicants to continue improvement of their organizational systems.
