Organizational Excellence

Presentation Synopsis:

Introducing the Organizational Excellence Framework
Learn how the application of the Organizational Excellence Framework - a total quality improvement program - can guarantee an increase productivity and innovation.
 
Workshop Description: This fast paced 60-minute presentation will introduce the Organization Excellence Framework (OEF).  The OEF helps organizations, business, government, education and not for profit - move towards total quality values, practices, and measures based on leading principles common to high performing organizations worldwide.
 
It is a powerful diagnostic tool, which identifies where an organization stands in relation to the key dimensions of managing an organization against internationally identified standards of excellence. The application of the Framework identifies where improvements can be made, and qualified Organizational Excellence Specialists can use this assessment to help craft individualized action plans based on the strategic priorities of each organization.
 
The Organizational Excellence Framework is a platform for long-term organizational success that is applicable to any size and type of organization.  Organizations that implement an action plan following an OEF assessment will see a significant return on investment, based on increased productivity, innovation and client satisfaction.
 
Participants in this seminar will learn how the OEF
 
  • Provides the foundation on which to develop an organization;
  • Provides an integrated and coordinated way to drive tangible results;
  • Identifies the interdependencies and interrelationships between functional management areas; 
  • Reduces non-value adding activity;
  • Provides employees the opportunity to become engaged;
  • Contributes to becoming an 'employer of choice'; and
  • Provides a performance benchmarking program.
 
The workshop will be fact paced and interactive, and will include an invitation to assess participant's organizations against the 9 principles of Excellence which the OEF is based upon.
