Starting the BE Journey

The BE Journey

Under the business excellence initiative, organisations are certified for attaining a commendable level of performance on the various standards. Certified organizations are provided with development opportunities to learn from best practices of leading organizations on the business excellence journey. Organisations that demonstrate outstanding performance on the various standards are recognized through the business excellence awards.



Why Adopt BE?

Get a health Check

 

The Business Excellence framework with its scoring system enables an organisation to do regular health checks on its business management systems and processes. These health checks help the organization identify its strengths as well as provide opportunities for improvement on the business excellence journey.

 

Improve Business Performance

 

A National University of Singapore study shows that enterprises certified to the SQC have consistently outperformed their counterparts in the industry by an average of 50% in terms of sales growth over a 5 year period. Those that had won the SQA achieved an even higher sales growth of 75% above the industry average.

 

Be Recognised

 

Organisations that attain commendable levels of performance on the framework are recognized with the Business Excellence Certifications and those that attain outstanding levels are recognized with the Business Excellence Awards. The recognition helps organistions to distinguish themselves in the marketplace and gain a competitive advantage.

 

Learn from the Best

 

Certified organizations are provided with access to best practice resources to assist them in their journey of excellence. These include :
  • Access to the Business Performance Improvement Resource (BPIR.com), developed by the Centre of Organistional Excellence Research (COER), Massey University , New Zealand
  • Opportunities to participate in regular best practice seminars and workshops
  • Option to nominate key staff to be business excellence assessors who have unrivalled access to the best practices of other organizations by participating in business excellence assessments
