Business Excellence is often described as outstanding practices in managing the organization and achieving results, all based on a set of fundamental concepts or values. These practices have evolved into models for how a world class organization should operate. These models have been developed and continue to evolve through extensive study of the practice and values of the world’s highest performing organizations. Since the 1990s there has been a general decline in award applications. However there has been an increasing trend for organisations to apply these models and integrate the principles and practice with their day-to-day operations thereby achieving the benefits business excellence brings.[1]


Business Excellence Tools[2]
Business Excellence tools are explained in 3 categories. First be clear on the desired outcome for your business and then choose carefully for most value.


Business Excellence Models[3]
Business excellence models are frameworks that when applied within an organisation can help to focus thought and action in a more systematic and structured way that should lead to increased performance.

Business Excellence Awards
In general, business excellence models have been developed by national bodies as a basis for award programs. For most of these bodies, the awards themselves are secondary in importance to the wide-spread take up of the concepts of business excellence, which ultimately lead to improved national economic performance. Often awards programs operate at a local, regional and national level to recognize and celebrate the achievement of all levels of organisational maturity. It is through these award programs that an organisation can be assessed and justifiably claim to operate at World Class levels of performance. Awards are usually only given to those organisations that have been assessed as “excellent” through a rigorous awards process using independent teams of evaluators to assess award applicants.It was recently estimated that there are at least 76 countries operating a business excellence award program at a national level.
