EFQM MODEL

The EFQM Model is a universal framework which answers the three most important questions for an organization:

WHY do we exist? Why do we choose this strategy? What is the reason or purpose?

HOW do we deliver the strategy?

WHAT have we achieved till date using it and what do we aim to achieve in future?

The answers to these questions lay the pillars of EFQM Model —

1. DIRECTION: It defines a purpose and vision that is inspirational. Develop strategies that create sustainable value.

2. EXECUTION: Strategies which cannot be executed or do not motivate are irrelevant. The purpose defined should be executed in the best possible manner.

3. RESULTS: It is crucial to gauge the results of the parameters defined in the Direction & Execution stage. Have forecasting methods in place to know what more can be achieved in future.

This pathbreaking model is used by more than 50,000 organizations across the globe for more than 30 years. I recently came across the new offerings by Grant Thornton Bharat, the certified strategic partner for EFQM in India-
