Borders are disappearing everywhere: between countries, between what we used to think of as competitors, customers and suppliers, and in the definition of roles within the organisation. Business is increasingly ‘open’.
So how do you ensure that you can capture the benefits of ‘openness’ and avoid its pitfalls? And how do you challenge your perception of what good practice actually means, where you can find it and how it can be applied?
We help you to leverage new sources of learning by creating the conditions for collaborative exchange across and outside the organisation.
Our members value the experience of their peers, and the insights which can come from a critical review of outsiders, offered in the spirit of mutual improvement. EFQM maintains trust by safeguarding confidentiality and applying its expertise to the selection of organisations that can learn from one another.
Take part in one of our structured approaches to exchange and benefit from pragmatic learning, grounded in the experience of EFQM members.
Peer to Peer learning
A unique strength of EFQM is its power to bring together organisations together from across sectors, and to link individuals together in structured learning. We can help you identify partner organisations for exchange and benchmarking, facilitate learning visits or link you together with fellow professionals in one of our communities of practice. All backed up by shared values and references, and the trust that EFQM has built over twenty years of such exchange.
Peer to Peer exchange and benchmarking
Let us connect you with peers, in and beyond your sector of activity, who are prepared to share learning that is appropriate to your organisation.

Cases and frameworks
EFQM cases and frameworks document some of the insights into implementing effective organisational change. Cases are based on member companies, who have demonstrated leadership in the systematic implementation of a business strategy. Frameworks help to structure the implementation of responses to some of today’s key challenges, such as risk management, CSR or innovation.
EFQM Cases
To support senior executives and individuals in the organisation tasked with undertaking strategic change programmes, EFQM has developed a case learning series documenting successful examples of how member companies have solved implementation related issues.
The EFQM case series celebrates examples of leadership: how a desired outcome has been systematically communicated and the people within an organisation motivated and aligned to deliver it.
EFQM Frameworks
Frameworks are non-prescriptive, tools and methods for responding to some of the strategic challenges of the organisation. Developed by EFQM in association with expert partners, each framework provides a structured approach to topics such as innovation, risk management and implementing corporate social responsibility.
