In today’s competitive and ever-changing global market, achieving sustainable excellence is not just an option—it's a necessity. The EFQM Excellence Model (European Foundation for Quality Management) has become a widely used management framework for organizations seeking to improve performance, drive innovation, and achieve long-term success. In Jordan, this model is increasingly being adopted by organizations striving for continuous improvement and global recognition.
What is EFQM?
The EFQM Model is a non-prescriptive framework that helps organizations assess their current performance and identify areas for improvement. It encourages a holistic approach to management by focusing on leadership, people, strategy, partnerships, resources, and processes, and how these lead to improved results for customers, employees, and society.
Why EFQM is Gaining Popularity in Jordan
Businesses in Jordan are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional services while complying with international quality and sustainability standards. Adopting the EFQM Excellence Model helps them:
- Align strategy with day-to-day operations
- Promote a culture of innovation and leadership
- Improve efficiency across all departments
- Benchmark against global best practices
- Boost customer and employee satisfaction
EFQM vs ISO 9001: Complementary, Not Competitive
Many organizations ask, “What’s the difference between EFQM and ISO 9001 certification?” While ISO 9001 provides a structured Quality Management System (QMS) focused on meeting customer requirements and continual improvement, EFQM focuses on the broader picture of business excellence. The two work hand in hand:
- ISO 9001 lays the foundation for consistent, quality-driven operations.
- EFQM builds upon that foundation to foster innovation, leadership, and strategic results.
Organizations in Jordan that already hold ISO 9001 certification are ideally positioned to benefit from implementing the EFQM Model, particularly when supported by ISO 9001 internal auditor training and QMS training.
