The EFQM Excellence Model was introduced at the beginning of 1992 as the framework for assessing organizations for the annual European Excellence Award . It is now the most widely used organizational assessment framework in Europe. Most users have no intention of applying to win awards; they use the framework and analysis techniques within the model as diagnostic tools that will help them to:assess the health of their organization, identify its strengths and areas for improvement and periodically measure progressidentify and share good management practices, both internally and externallyanticipate and target their desired results in tangible, measurable waysWhether you are a newcomer to the Excellence Model, or an experienced user (whose techniques of performance assessment maybe rigorous but have possibly evolved to become overly complex), this Management Guide provides you with practical techniques to undertake timely and effective assessments. It explains the history, basis and evolution of the EFQM Excellence Model, the nature of EFQM and its networks today, and, most importantly, provides step-by-step guidance, together with a series of analysis pro-formas, to enable readers to facilitate an assessment of an organization against each of the 32 elements ( criterion parts ) of the EFQM Excellence Model.

In a world in which people and organizations have to communicate in constantly changing settings standards play a big role. By standards we mean established, described, and widely accepted agreements that make communication between systems – people process and technology – possible and predictable. Getronics has a long history in using and developing IT standards. In 1990 they introduced ITIL into the Dutch market. Subsequently they have helped redevelop ITIL and at the same time expanded the best practices with the development of ASL and BiSL. They have demonstrated their thought leadership and practical knowledge in all areas of IT management and always shared this knowledge with others. In their view a common language to communicate at different levels seems a prerequisite of the network society. This publication Leading standards for IT Management gives the vision of Getronics on standardization in IT. It explains why standards are so important today and the way in which standards come about en how they are accepted. The book describes why IT professionals should adopt and use standards. This publication does not pretend to give an overview of all standards available. On the contrary, it is the selection of standards that was made by Getronics that makes this book useful. It is their conviction or vision that these standards are dominant, inescapable or promising. These standards are: EFQM, Six Sigma, Malcolm Baldrige, CobiT, ITIL, ASL, BiSL, ISO/IEC 20000, CMMI, ISO 17799, MOF, ISPL, PRINCE2, IPMA, PMI-PMBOK, MSP, XML, J2EE, .NET, MDA, UML The cooperation of people, processes and technology play an important role in the provision of good information services. Standards play a vital role in communication at all levels between the components of information services. With this book the authors want to help organizations making the right choices.

With the publication of ISO 9001:2000, there is now a single quality management "requirements" standard that is applicable to all organisations, products and services. ISO 9001:2000 is the only standard that can be used for the certification of a quality management system (QMS) and its generic requirements can be used by any organisation. It is the quality standard which specifies the requirements of quality management systems for use where organisations need to demonstrate their capability to provide products and services which meet both customer needs and relevant regulatory requirements.
