Dedicated to the pursuit of performance excellence within all Louisiana’s organizations
The Louisiana Quality Foundation (LQF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the pursuit of performance excellence within all Louisiana’s organizations. LQF was founded to provide organizations throughout Louisiana with a proven framework to improve Louisianians through the application of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is the official Baldrige-based program in Louisiana. More information is available at https://www.nist.gov/baldrige.
Since the inception of the national Baldrige Excellence Program in 1988, the national Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework has accelerated in acceptance and importance. Organizations of all sizes and types use the framework for improvement and self-assessment, including large and small manufacturers; banks and other service providers; small businesses from consulting firms to fast-food restaurants; K–12 school systems, universities, and proprietary education organizations; hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other health care organizations; nonprofit organizations; and local, state, and federal government agencies.
