The underpinning principles of the EFQM Model: part I

1) Why does your organisation exist?

2) How do you do the things you do?

3) What do you achieve?

In the EFQM Model:

The WHY question is then expanded into….. “Why” do you do what you do?…….”Why” this particular Purpose? …..”Why” this particular Strategy?

These open ended questions are clustered under the heading of Direction.

The HOW question is expanded into…. “How” do you intend to deliver on your Purpose and your Strategy?

Answers to this open ended question are clustered under the heading of Execution.

The WHAT question is expanded into…. “What” have you actually achieved to date….. “What” do you intend to achieve tomorrow?

These open ended questions are clustered under the heading of Results
