<p class="MsoNormal">It started with a big idea—about improving the quality of life in the United States. Cross-sector collaboration was a central part of it. Essentially, the vision was to use the <a href="/baldrige/publications/baldrige-excellence-framework" title="Baldrige Excellence Framework details" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="00b6643c-f609-4ef9-baab-8a71ecca6aa9" data-entity-substitution="canonical">Baldrige Excellence Framework®</a> to help communities and entire regions of the United States not only boost their economies but also their health and education outcomes. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Not surprisingly, the 11-year-old nonprofit <a href="https://communitiesofexcellence2026.org/">Communities of Excellence 2026</a>(COE) emerged as the brainchild of two former senior leaders of Baldrige Award-winning organizations. <a href="/blogs/blogrige/community-focused-excellence-something-new-horizon" title="Community-Focused Excellence: Something New on the Horizon blog" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="087a967c-d68b-4970-acd0-e2fffa3576ea" data-entity-substitution="canonical">As shared in a 2015 blog</a>, Lowell Kruse and Richard Norling, former chief executives of high-performing health care and business organizations, respectively, conceived the idea during a conversation at a backyard social event.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Communities of Excellence 2026 has come a long way since then. It now offers a community-adapted version of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, as well as virtual and in-person educational initiatives involving diverse communities from across the country. And it continues to grow. Today the nonprofit can boast of having served 26 communities since 2017, reaching 450 organizations and 12.5 million U.S. residents.</p><h3><strong>Benefits and Tips for Getting Started </strong></h3><p class="MsoNormal">According to Stephanie Norling, who has served as executive director of the small nonprofit since it was established, “I think the key reason that communities can benefit from adopting the Communities of Excellence Framework is that nothing we do happens in a vacuum, and too often we address our community challenges in a way that looks more at the individual parts of a community than the whole.” </p><p><span>Norling has noted that a fundamental Baldrige-based practice for many participants in COE is community-based strategic planning. “Looking at the needs of residents across the entire system and leveraging the people, plans, and resources of multiple sectors and organizations reveals opportunities for alignment and synergy, addresses duplication of efforts, and increases overall impact,” she said.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">“For example, in San Diego’s South Region, a Community of Excellence 2026 site, this process resulted in collaborative efforts to address smoking cessation and workforce readiness. Another example is the Toledo community’s combined efforts in workforce development,” she added. “Other communities are focusing their efforts to advance key priorities such as broadband access, affordable housing, and transportation.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">Norling has given several presentations introducing the COE approach and offerings at Baldrige events, including BPEP’s annual Quest for Excellence® Conference. Here are a few tips she shared for introducing or sustaining use of the COE/Baldrige framework:</p><ol><li><strong>Agree on and stay true to your purpose (why you exist) as a community excellence group</strong>. Having a shared understanding of why you are all around the table builds trust and engagement, and it helps communicate to others what you’re doing and how they can be a part of the journey. When challenges present themselves, your purpose will re-ground you in why you are coming together. <br> </li><li><strong>Distribute the leadership and the responsibilities for the work across the community as much as possible</strong>. A community of excellence can’t be led by a
