Excellence
Excellence is continuous improvement for stakeholder outcomes. Organisational success depends on its leaders, people, and business models delivering continuously improved results.
Excellence Models such as the Australian Business Excellence Framework (ABEF) and the EFQM Model provide guidance and measure excellence maturity. These Excellence Models assess and improve multiple aspects, such as leadership, strategy, planning, people, knowledge, safety, service delivery, quality, and results.
Thrive35 helps companies utilise and imbed Excellence Models for outstanding performance. We work with many organisations to streamline operations, adopt the guidance of Excellence Models and foster a culture of improvement that aligns to Business Excellence Principles.
Our popular services include Excellence Manager, Service Optimiser, capability assessments, training, and leadership coaching.
