EFQM, whose long name is the European Foundation for Quality Management, 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.

It is a not-for-profit membership foundation focused on serving its members' information and networking needs. Based in Brussels (Belgium), it brings together over 700 member organisations and partners situated in every geographical region across the globe.

EFQM claims to be:

the primary source for organisations throughout Europe which are looking for more than quality, but are also striving to excel in their market and in their business.

Its web site is http://www.efqm.org.


Implications

EFQM concepts underpin several of the frameworks for benchmarking e-learning.
