Apply "Community of Excellence" framework to Greater Rochester

In 2017, Communities of Excellence 2026, in partnership with the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, launched the Communities of Excellence Assessment and Recognition Program. The program has three levels: Commitment to Community Excellence, Journey to Community Excellence and the Community of Excellence Recognition. Details including criteria for submission and deadlines are available here. In parallel with Baldrige Program’s mission, the purpose of Communities of Excellence 2026 and the Assessment and Recognition Program is threefold: To develop a nationally recognized standard of community performance excellence To establish role models of that standard through the Recognition Program To encourage continuous improvement through sharing of best practices and provision of feedback to communities on the performance excellence journey that will lead to better outcomes for the residents they serve. "The Baldrige Program, and indeed the entire Baldrige community, are excited about helping communities achieve ever-higher levels of performance and improved quality of life for their residents. In fact, that is essentially the mission of the Baldrige Program: to benefit all U.S. residents through improved competitiveness. Until now, however, we have been focused on accomplishing that purpose through single organization. Partnering with Communities of Excellence 2026 enables us to carry out that mission on a much broader level, with the potential for greater reach and impact." Robert Fangmeyer, Director, Baldrige Performance Excellence Program

Detailed Description

Background

 

The leadership organizations in Rochester in 2013 were having conversations with Performance Excellence Network on
how Rochester Could move forward with pilot (including an update on DMC and how this could support DMC and other Rochester initiatives, what other leaders/organizations should be involved, the status of fundraising, whether this group is willing to serve as an initial steering committee, etc.) 

Complex environment requires a systems approach to make progress. COE was a notion of working with PEN to do a lean 6-sigma type of analysis on the community's collaboration resources.

Community of Excellence - LEAPing beyond Olmsted County staff operations (September 10, 2016)

Good to learn that Olmsted County embraces LEAP  ... " which is being used right now at Mayo Clinic and IBM and many other business in this community". 

As the region's various initiatives roll out, is there a willingness and a recognition that the LEAP commitment and mindset should be extended from Olmsted County admin to other public, private and social agencies whose collective effort should be aligned to ensure continuous improvement to reduce frictions and improve productivity?

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
