The EFQM model
The EFQM model developed by the European Foundation for Quality Management is a model that helps to translate strategy into five organisational areas (‘leadership’.

Use this when.
Use the model to assess organisational quality, performance and capacity for improvement.
The framework began as a total quality self assessment and improvement method. It can now be used more broadly to examine organisational architecture, translate strategy into operating practice and identify performance gaps across public, private and non profit organisations.

Strengths, limits, and pitfalls.
EFQM excellence model
- Use RADAR to convert assessment into action: define the result, select the approach, test deployment and refine from evidence. Limit priorities so improvement work receives real ownership and resources.
- Define the scope, assemble evidence and assess each criterion with a cross functional team. Identify strengths, gaps and causal hypotheses connecting enablers to results. Prioritise a small number of improvements, assign owners and use RADAR to review deployment and learning.
Watch for
- Do not pursue a high assessment score while losing sight of stakeholder value. Self assessment can reward polished documentation and internal consensus unless claims are tested against independent outcomes and frontline reality.
The EFQM model
- Trace each important result gap back to the enablers that can influence it, then assign an evidence based improvement and owner.
- The version shown distinguishes five enablers and four result areas.
- Leadership requires leaders to establish mission, vision and values; model an excellence culture; support improvement; engage customers, partners and society; and enable people to contribute.
Watch for
- Do not optimise assessment scores or documentation at the expense of stakeholder outcomes and real operating improvement.
