The Presidential Award for Quality recognizes high performing federal organizations that promote effective management techniques and provide models for performance assessment. While applying for the award requires an objective review, organizations can also benefit from self-assessing their performance using the award's criteria to improve communication, resource decisions, workforce motivation, and focus on vision, customers, learning, employees, agility, innovation, responsibility, and results. The criteria evaluate leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, information analysis, human resources, processes, and business results.

The other is the Award for Quality Improvement. Both distinctions have customer focus and strict adherence to quality in common, but the Presidential Award for Quality is geared more toward organizations that have shown consistent dedication to quality over a sustained period of time. If your organization is just beginning to embrace a quality-driven approach, the Award for Quality Improvement may be for you. Otherwise, read on and learn about the Presidential Award for Quality.
