Improvement: Unless you try something beyond
what you have already accomplished you will never grow!
Ronald Olson
Quality is never an accident; it's always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

As a Certified EFQM Assessor (Model 2013), this training will help me a lot to know about the model changes and and how to implement the new Excellence Model in my organization.
