European Foundation for Quality Management and IfSQ
The EFQM Excellence Model is a framework for organisational management systems, promoted by the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) and designed for helping organisations in their drive towards being more competitive. Regardless of sector, size, structure or maturity, organisations need to establish appropriate management systems in order to be successful,. The EFQM Excellence Model is a practical tool to help organisations do this by measuring where they are on the path to excellence; helping them understand the gaps; and then stimulating solutions.
