How does the EFQM Model support UAE Centennial 2071 and the “We the UAE 2031” agenda?
The EFQM Model 2025 links purpose and strategy with execution and results, so leadership can show how the organisation contributes to UAE Centennial 2071 and the “We the UAE 2031” agenda with evidence and measurable outcomes.
Can you prepare us for EFQM recognition from the UAE?
Yes. We prepare the submission document, the site visit and the leadership team for “Recognised by EFQM” (3 to 7 stars) and the EFQM Global Award.
How long does an EFQM GAP analysis take?
Typically two to four weeks for a mid-sized organisation, including document review, interviews and a prioritised roadmap. A full assessment and recognition journey usually takes six to twelve months.
Can you combine EFQM with ISO 9001:2026 or ISO 14001:2026?
Yes. We build one management system: EFQM gives the strategic and results view, and the ISO standards give certified process discipline on the same architecture.
