It reviews existing processes, develops a self\u2011assessment, defines improvement initiatives and trains staff on excellence principles. The project also mentors a team of internal evaluators and helps prepare the application dossier for certification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>A. The Challenge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As a young institution, the institute lacked structured quality management and self\u2011assessment processes aligned with the EFQM model. Staff needed guidance to understand excellence criteria and evidence requirements.<\/p>\n<p><b>B. Our Solution<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We conducted workshops to familiarise staff with the EFQM framework, performed a comprehensive self\u2011assessment and identified gaps in strategy, process and results. Our consultants drafted improvement plans, implemented quick wins and coached internal teams to prepare for external assessment.<\/p>\n<p><b>C. Key Achievements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The institute established a robust excellence management system, trained ambassadors and submitted a strong EFQM application. Processes and performance measures were documented, staff engagement increased and the institute demonstrated readiness to achieve European Excellence recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A project enabling the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts to attain EFQM accreditation through self\u2011assessment and improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":352340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","gs-project-category":[213,311],"gs-project-tag":[216],"class_list":["post-349923","gs-project","type-gs-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gs-project-category-quality-and-institutional-excellence","gs-project-category-research-capacity-building","gs-project-tag-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gs-project\/349923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gs-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/gs-project"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"gs-project-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gs-project-category?post=349923"},{"taxonomy":"gs-project-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaizen.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gs-project-tag?post=349923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
