The Wisconsin Forward Award program provides training and mentoring opportunities. Examiner trainings are held in late January (winter cycle) and June (summer cycle)

Organizations

Applying for a Wisconsin Forward Award through the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence is an effective way to energize employees, increase the focus on business results and look at your organization from a systems perspective. At the end of the process, you will receive award recognition, but the real value of the program comes from the comprehensive feedback report that details your organization’s strengths and opportunities for improvement. Successful organizations use this low-cost consultation as a key strategic planning input, and a way to get better, faster.

Who Can Apply?

The Wisconsin Forward Award program is open to government, health care, education, government, service, manufacturing and non-profit organizations throughout Wisconsin (some out-of-state as well as international organizations are also eligible). Whether you’re large or small, established or start-up, the program scales to fit your organization’s unique profile.
