The Center for Business Excellence
Mission and Purpose

The Center for Business Excellence (CBE) is an organization devoted to transforming the relationship between business and the community, by recognizing and supporting the practices and principles of business excellence through analysis, education, and effective demonstration. It brings together senior business, government, educational and community leaders to address these issues in a way that is practical, timely, and designed to produce effective change; it offers them a platform for communicating values, objectives, strategies, and initiatives and gaining the support of the community in fostering greater awareness, confidence, and support for business. It works to serve the community by ensuring that our businesses are the best they can be.

Established initially in the heart of Central New Jersey, one of the most attractive locations for corporate headquarters in the Northeast, the CBE is able to draw upon a wealth of executive talent and experience, and to offer conferences, seminars, roundtables, programs, and publications of interest to a sophisticated and growing corporate audience. The Center also promotes strategic initiatives that create visibility, transparency, and sustainable economic growth, both locally and in the wider regional economy.  

Key focus areas include:

  • Restoring confidence in the integrity of American business
  • Leadership and executive excellence, and building a pool of executive talent
  • Business ethics
  • Managing risk and avoiding business disruptions
  • Building organizational cultures
  • Enhancing productivity, diversification, innovation, and collaboration
  • Fostering entrepreneurship, leadership talent development, and community involvement.
  • Initiating strategic design initiatives to address key business issues as they arise
  • Fostering social entrepreneurship
  • Building win-win partnerships between corporations and nonprofits.

The CBE brings together senior business, government, and community leaders to address these issues in one of the top corporate areas in the country. It offers them a platform for communicating values, objectives, strategies, and initiatives and gaining the support of the community in fostering greater awareness, confidence, and support for business objectives.

The CBE works in close cooperation with the business programs of several nearby educational institutions, and with other organizations, to strengthen these programs and their ties to the business community.
