Organisations who already have some experience with the EFQM Model can continue their journey as follows:

• EFQM Members who have identified benchmarking opportunities can have a look on the EFQM Knowledge Base. It contains a number of self-assessment and other management tools. Also, you can find practical of approaches adopted by leading organisations, how they were developed and implemented and the benefits realised.
• The Leaders for Excellence Training is designed for engaging line managers in actively implementing the EFQM Excellence Model. The focus of the course is on giving you the knowledge, skills and tools you need to effectively drive excellence in your organisation.
• The Business Excellence Matrix (available on our Knowledge Base) has been designed as a simple self-assessment tool that enables you to capture the information required to complete a self-assessment or produce a submission document for the EFQM Recognised for Excellence.
• Validate your success and receive international recognition for your achievements through the Recognised for Excellence scheme. During 3- 5 days an independent team of EFQM assessors will assess your organisation. Recognised for Excellence supports your journey by providing a series of key milestones; 3 star, 4 star and 5 star recognition. A 5 star organisation is able to demonstrate that it has mature approaches in place, aligned and refined in line with the needs and expectations of its stakeholders and delivering results in line with its strategic goals.
