The primary goal for EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) is that organisations to be able better his draw up their own operations, in relation to the whole management, in the light of Total Quality Management (TQM). This will be done on base of a self-assessment.

By carrying out an on line EFQM self-assessment by several key-persons in the organization / company gives a EFQM report, according to a strength-weakness analysis, for starting a discussion with a structured method for strategic improvements.

I refer to our EHBM portal site (dutch), there you can read more about the background, context, objective, implementation in practice, for example, etc. .. of the EFQM model.

Which organizations can apply EFQM?
EFQM is an excellent model for profit and non-profit organizations that want to work on quality. Experience with or knowledge of "quality management" are not required. An experience certainly helps, however, in dealing with the quality topics and critical thinking by themselves.
