Regardless of sector, size, structure or maturity, to be successful, organisations need to establish an appropriate management framework. The EFQM Excellence Model is a practical tool that is used by organisations in a number of ways: As a tool for Self-Assessment by measuring where they are on the path to excellence, helping them understand the gaps, and then stimulating solutions;
As the basis for a common vocabulary and way of thinking about the organisation which is shared across all functions; As a framework for positioning existing initiatives, removing duplication and identifying gaps; As a structure for the organisations management system.
