Smartranslators I agree with Leonardo's suggestion. Pockets of excellence implies scarcity, or exceptions to the norm. I believe the glossary entry should be revised. Coral's answer also communicates this meaning, but for the purpose of the glossary, I believe that "grupos aislados" is preferable to "islas", which could be interpreted in many ways without accompanying context.

Smart, Would you agree to add to your answer: pocos grupos de.. o grupos aislados de...?

islas de excelencia

o casos aislados sobresalientes

http://www.ua.es/dossierprensa/2009/12/09/1.html

•Islas de excelencia: se trata de mejorar ámbitos concretos, ya que no se puede hacer todo de golpe. Por ello, es necesario priorizar. Después, lo que ha funcionado bien en estas islas de excelencia, se desplegaría progresivamente a otras áreas de la organización. Eso sí, hay que tener cuidado con el peligro de crear nidos de privilegios.
