Symphony of Excellence

EFQM Forum 2018

It takes a conductor, musicians, instruments and a melody. It's all about leadership enabling each solo player to express the talent at his best and create a harmony together. It is all about leadership and people excellence...

A strong employer brand, an attractive culture, the agility needed to adapt to change, connections to the digital world, autonomy and freedom at work, will ensure your organisation attracts and engages people.

This year's EFQM Forum will be the place to learn from experts, role model organisations, structured networking and deep dive sessions on how to build a sustainable human capital eco system. Participants will experience a totally new format spread over the two days...

The EFQM Forum is an official event in the frame of the EU presidency. The claim of Quality Austria and EFQM to an outstanding event with an international high importance is further intensified.
