Focused Active Evaluation Model©
The Focused Active Evaluation Model© (Serpa and Rojas, 2005) is used by NPERCI and was developed to facilitate a practical and useful evaluation framework based on institutional context, immediate community, and extended community, as well as, to improve an organization’s decision-making process. It can be easily integrated into the normal operations of any organization. It integrates innovative practices and utilizes new knowledge to contribute to institutional optimization, social progress and better quality of life.

NPERCI assumes a role of collaborator and facilitator in the establishment and/or revision of the strategic direction, operational organization, responsible leadership and balanced control of the corporations.
Operative System for Institutional Optimization©
The Operative System for Institutional Optimization© (Serpa and Rojas, 2004) is a voluntary, capacity building system, based in a model that promotes integrity, transparency, and accountability, strengthening organizations. The purpose of the Operative System for Institutional Optimization© is to identify those organizations that comply with determined norms of operations and expected performance as accountable organizations, committed to integrity and excellence and in which the public can trust. This facilitates the decision-making process of contributors and investors including customers, private funding entities, foundations and government when selecting the best choice for providing a service, to satisfy a need, or to support an endeavor.
NPERCI evaluates and certifies those corporations that comply with those norms of operations. NPERCI is the first and sole evaluation agency in Puerto Rico that awards the Certification of Institutional Excellence™ and the Grand Seal of Institutional Excellence™, through the Operative System for Institutional Optimization©.
The International Declaration of Fundamental Principles of Standards of Excellence for Non-Profit Organizations© was proclaimed and unanimously approved during the 6th Forum of Institutional ExcellenceSM, on September 18, 2009, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
