Companies whose leaders and employees aspire to be above average are key to securing Europe&#8217;s future. These organizations are characterized by consistent, steady development \u2013 a prerequisite for being able to compete in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>In order to enable this progress, it is crucial to realistically determine one&#8217;s own degree of maturity, to understand one&#8217;s own position in comparison to other organizations, and to strive for targeted further development. The <strong>Excellence Framework Europe (EFE)<\/strong> supports organizations on this path by offering them practical and easily accessible excellence concepts. Through the clear determination of maturity levels, strengths, and potentials, the framework makes a significant contribution to strengthening European companies.<\/p>\n<p>EFE was developed by award-winning organizations that place great emphasis on it being written in simple language and optimally aligned with the respective maturity level of the organizations. The goal is not to impose a specific model, but rather to flexibly combine the best concepts, methods, and tools. This enables customized further development, regardless of the level at which the organization is currently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_887a049b height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_8224efc5\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>European values in focus<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The Excellence Framework Europe relies on European basic principles and attitudes and provides tools that enable a comprehensible determination of the degree of maturity. In this way, companies can easily benefit from the flexibility of the framework and drive their further development in a targeted manner \u2013 regardless of whether they are at the beginning or already advanced.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of the framework is on continuous improvement. Organizations use the framework to regularly assess their level of maturity \u2013 for example, through annual assessments as part of competitions \u2013 and, based on this, take further measures for optimization. The actual improvement process then takes place within the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_887a049b height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_8224efc5\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Together for a strong Europe<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The initiators and the Excellence Community have developed the Excellence Framework Europe as an open-source approach in order to make it accessible to as many organizations as possible.

The focus is not on the management model used, but on the evaluation of the degree of maturity within a clearly defined framework. Organizations that have already had positive experiences with models such as the EFQM model can continue to use it. At the same time, users of other models (e.g. Baldrige, Deming, St. Gallen Management Model, Economy for the Common Good, CAF) are cordially invited to have their organizational excellence assessed on the basis of the framework.<\/p>\n<p>Model openness is made possible by the common DNA of many management approaches. On closer inspection, these approaches have many fundamental similarities, which are brought together in the Excellence Framework Europe.
