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.
John Ruskin
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.

ESPRIX Forum 2024 – ESPRIX Excellence Recognition

On the occasion of the ESPRIX Forum 2024 on April 24, 2024, Dr. Karl J. Koller, CEO of ITQM and International Business Excellence Expert, emphasized the increasing importance of Business Excellence. He pointed out that it is no longer a question of whether an organization can afford to invest in business excellence, but whether an organization can afford not to invest in business excellence. Organizations that operate a QM system on the basis of quality control or quality assurance are no longer competitive. Organizations that are not committed to continuous performance improvement have costs of poor quality (waste) of 25% or more of their total cost. Business excellence helps organizations "to work smarter, not harder". On the occasion of the ESPRIX Forum 2024, two organizations were honored for their excellent achievements. These are Clienia AG and Kliniken Valens. Both are ESPRIX 2024 award winners.

"All participants from our College of Dentistry at King Saud University in Riyadh as well as from other colleges and ministries have enjoyed the EFQM Foundation Training by ITQM. 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. The best part of the training were the real life examples from different industries as well as education and health care sectors, presented by Dr. Karl. This training was for me definitely a very good opportunity to update my EFQM Excellence know-how."
