EFQM National Partner Organisation (NPO)
EFQM is the creator of the prestigious EFQM Excellence Award which recognises the very top companies each year. EFQM is also the guardian of the EFQM Excellence Model which provides organisations with a guideline to achieve and measure their success. In 1999, agreements were signed with national not-for-profit Excellence Organisations which now form the network of National Partner Organisations (NPOs). Currently there are 24 NPOs that have similar aims and objectives to EFQM. They represent EFQM within their countries and provide a range of services to their members and customers in the local language. SIQ is one of these partners.
EFQM and its NPOs are mutually supportive to face the challenges of a fast-changing business environment.NPOs also offer a national training licence to deliver training based on EFQM course material.
