The EFQM and IPMA Excellence Models for Organizations and Projects by Mr. Triantafyllos Katsarelis
The event will take place on Thursday, March 24th at 20:00 at the Hellenic American Union Auditorium on the 6th floor conference room of the HAU building located at Massalias 22.
Regardless of sector, size, structure or maturity, to be successful, organizations need to establish an appropriate management framework. In addition project oriented organizations need to establish an appropriate project management framework.
The EFQM Excellence Model is a practical tool that is used by organizations in a number of way such as: A tool for Self-Assessment, a basis of common vocabulary, or a structure for the management system. Based on a set of eight (8) “Fundamental Concepts”, the Model integrates nine (9) weighted criteria (32 sub-criteria) and. Organizations in the “Journey for Excellence” climb a ladder of three (3) levels the higher leading to the International Awards.
The IPMA Project Excellence Award Model is largely based on the EFQM approach, but has only the International Awards level. National Models are developed in some countries, thus giving the chance to projects of a smaller scale or complexity to compete on a national level.
An introduction to both Models, Concept, Structure and History of applications will be presented.
