Our Vision:
- Helping European organisations to excel.
- Our goal is to communicate and support the concepts of European excellence approaches.
- Our objective in this is to share the basic concept of Excellence.
Our Mission:
The EFQM Excellence Model has proven to be of great value in helping public, private and voluntary sector organisations to review and improve their approaches and workflow. EuroBEN draws together experience in using a variety of national, regional and sector specific accreditation systems. Our approach has been to develop easy to digest modules addressing specific sector or regional requirements.
EuroBEN has created training programmes to provide support in doing this. This opens the route for organisations to grow to the point where users can easily switch to using the full EFQM Excellence Model and aim for EFQM accreditation.
We believe that facilitated peer-to-peer workshops shares expertise in working towards Excellence.
