improving SBDC performance across the board, including client satisfaction and market share,
stakeholder and host institution relationships and contributions, marketing/sales practices that help
SBDC's capture their ideal clients and stakeholder contributors, great new human resource tools,
and outstanding process charting and process improvement tools that really work.
SBDC-HPLS© is based on top models for performance excellence, including Malcolm Baldrige
Criteria for Performance Excellence, ISO 9001-2000 International Standards, Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA), Business Process Re-engineering, Process Measurement,
Breakthrough Improvement, TQM, Six-Sigma and a collection of Best Practices for Organizational
Improvement.

easy for any SBDC Network to Tailor to fit their SBDC Processes or to use as part of the Accreditation
process. The real value is that you end up with standardized policies, practices and tools for everyone
