How did you initially come up with the idea or concept for the business?
The European Foundation for Quality Management, EFQM, was founded in October 1989 when the CEO/Presidents of 67 European companies subscribed to our Policy Document and declared their commitment to achieving EFQM mission and vision.
The Foundation set up a team of experts, from industry and academia, to develop the EFQM Excellence Model, a holistic framework than can be applied to any organization, regardless of size or sector. This was first used to support the assessment of organizations in the European Quality Award in 1992.
Tell us about some of the major turning points in the history of your business.
Over the last 30 years, we have seen many changes. The Model has adapted and evolved over time to reflect changes in the global market place. Hundreds of organizations, from both the public and private sector, have participated in the EFQM Excellence Awards, including Robert Bosch, BMW, VW, Xerox, Ricoh, Grundfos, Philips, EDF, as well as small less known organizations.
One thing that has not changed is our objective: to increase the competitiveness and effectiveness of all organizations in a sustainable way. We remain an independent, not-for-profit foundation; committed to supporting our customers in their journey of becoming the best organisation they can be and in turn improve their communities and our society. Our focus is international and we have offices in Brussels, London and Dubai and partners from Columbia to China. Our methods and models are translated into more than 30 languages and welcome the opportunity to support all organizations across more than 40 countries
Finally, what sets your business apart from the competition?

We build their capability to assess their business and then transform and improve it. Our purpose is to equip people with the right tools, methods, and technology to keep their organizations adapting and succeeding in their chosen markets.
