Examples of excellence

Representatives from high-performing US construction company Jaynes Corporation are visiting Otago Polytechnic, bringing with them their performance excellence model.

Utilising the US Department of Commerce's Baldrige Performance Excellence (PE) Framework, the Albuquerque-based company has grown year on year while continuing to achieve outstanding business results. A standout feature of Jaynes is their alignment and commonality of purpose across the whole organisation.

An Otago Polytechnic contingent including Jo Brady, Oonagh McGirr and Brayden Murray visited Jaynes Corporation on their PESA study trip last year. As a result, Jaynes Corporation's Sam Hatchell and Teryn Lamoreux were invited to Dunedin, where they are delivering a performance excellence presentation to staff today.
