Recognition Schemes
Why does Quality Scotland provide recognition schemes?
Organisations committed to Business Excellence often find it invaluable to recognise milestones along the way. For this reason, Quality Scotland promotes a series of Europe-wide recognition schemes designed not only to celebrate success but that give detailed feedback that can then be incorporated into your business improvement plan. This programme is known as Levels of Excellence and is open to organisations from any sector as well as individual business units. Levels of Excellence is based on the EFQM Excellence Model, giving you a holistic assessment of your organisation and its performance, but you don’t have to use the Model to apply.
