SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program seeks applicants for
the Baldrige Executive Fellows Program, a
[[Page 80889]]
one-year, leadership development experience for direct reports to the
most senior leader in an organization or business unit leaders. Using
the Baldrige Excellence Framework as a foundation, the program
discusses impactful leadership through visits to Baldrige Award
recipient sites and senior leaders, virtual discussions, and face-to-
face peer training using an adult learning model. Fellows will discuss
how to achieve performance excellence for their own organizations,
stimulate innovation, and build the knowledge and capabilities
necessary for organizational sustainability. Fellows will create a
capstone project that tackles an issue of strategic importance in their
own organizations; capstones have included innovating supply chains and
customer relationship management systems, improving health systems and
their communication with physicians, and creating balanced scorecards.
The program is aligned with the Baldrige Program mission to improve the
competitiveness and performance of U.S. organizations for the benefit
of all U.S. residents. The Baldrige Program and its Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award were created by Public Law 100-107 (The Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act of 1987) and signed into law
on August 20, 1987.
II. Method of Collection
Senior leaders interested in applying for selection as a Baldrige
Fellow must provide the following package of material directly to the
Baldrige Program:
1. A resum[eacute], including email, postal address, and telephone
contact information; and the name and email address of an assistant or
alternate contact person
2. An organizational chart that includes names and titles showing
the applicant's position within the organization
3. A recommendation letter from the applicant's highest-ranking
official showing the organization's support of his/her participation in
the program
4. A list of key competitors (in order that the Baldrige Program
may avoid creating a cohort that would be unable to share effectively
due to competitive situations)
The secure way to provide materials is through the Department of
Commerce's Secure File Collaboration (``Kite Works''). Information is
collected one time per year (typically in September-December) for each
cohort of Fellows. Information is needed to make selection decisions
that are based on (1) sector mix, (2) appropriate level within the
organization, (3) likelihood to follow through, (4) diversity, and (5)
no direct competitors with participating award recipients or other
Fellows.

public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
