Welcome to the Texas Consilium Business Excellence Awards

Since 2019, the Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award identifies Texas businesses that exemplify excellence in all aspectsof their operations. From trailblazers to established enterprises, we look for Texas businesses that expand and challenge traditional boundaries, commit to a journey of continual improvement, and serve as role models to inspire other Texas businesses to pursue their own journeys to business excellence.

The Most Prestigious Annual Award for Business Excellence in the State of Texas!

The Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award has been established to help Texans expand their vision of what is possible. Best practices often come from other businesses, in other industries, as a result of different perspectives. As we identify Texas businesses and leaders who are on a continuous improvement journey, we want to recognize their efforts – not only as an award for what they have accomplished, but to establish role models for lessons learned and to inspire others to improve and pursue their own journey of excellence.
