EFQM Assessment

Your company masters all modern management methods, but you want more? You want to achieve top performance and thus create more corporate quality and competitiveness? With the EFQM Excellence Model, you can demonstrate your commitment to continuous improvement.

The EFQM Model 2020 is a method that enables companies to measure and promote their corporate success and competitiveness beyond management systems and certificates for, e.g., quality, environment, occupational safety, information security, or energy management. Due to its highly individual nature, EFQM is an excellence model that can be used as a valuable means of distinction.

The EFQM model enables

• Systematic achievement of excellence and excellent results
• Continuous improvement of customer satisfaction
• Demonstrable increase in the overall quality of your organization
• Significant increase in competitiveness
• Agile changes in the culture of an organization
• Good chances of participating in the Ludwig Erhard Award, a recognized EFQM Excellence Award

The EFQM Model for Excellence was developed as an instrument for the self-assessment of companies and is the basis for further development as an excellent organization towards business excellence. The model and associated assessments can be used by all organizations, regardless of their size and industry, products and services, or affiliation with the public or private sector.

The goal is to be demonstrably among the excellent organizations in your respective market.

What is necessary for getting started with an EFQM process is a self-assessment, which you can do in different ways. We will be happy to provide you with information on what materials you can use for orientation. For German speakers, a good way to get started is also the training provided by the Initiative Ludwig Erhard Preis (ILEP) for managers and employees on how to apply the Excellence Model.

Assessments according to the Excellence Model are carried out by specially trained and experienced assessors. Assessors must prove their participation in the EFQM Foundation Training and complete further training to become a certified EFQM assessor, for example at the German Society for Quality (DGQ) or the Initiative Ludwig Erhard Prize (ILEP).

As a partner of the Initiative Ludwig-Erhard-Preis e. V. (ILEP), we offer the assessments "Committed to Excellence" (C2E) and "Recognised for Excellence" (R4E) as well as company-specific EFQM assessments. Due to the different objectives of the individual assessments, costs for these cannot be given as a lump sum figure. Of course, the complexity of your organization also plays a role.
