IRPE The Benefits General Requirements Award Recipients 

The Iowa Recognition for Performance Excellence (IRPE) uses the Malcolm Baldrige Framework to guide organizations in their Performance Excellence journey. The Baldrige framework is one of the most robust and effective management/improvement frameworks available. The IRPE/Baldrige Criteria can help your organization achieve its objectives and a sustainable culture of improvement.

Do you want to improve your organization’s performance? Are you looking for a cost-effective way to gain an outside perspective on your organization’s gaps and strengths? Do you want to impact your organization’s bottom line? The IRPE process provides a way to help you get started with this powerful framework so you can start getting the results you desire.

The IRPE Tiered approach will help you get started using the Baldrige framework and keep using it to achieve long-term success (link to IRPE Application Guide download). And every year IRPE recognizes Iowa organizations that are in various stages of their Performance Excellence Journey so we can all learn from these role models.
