Attaining Excellence means learning from other organisations, both different and similar

Networking Groups

Networking groupsWe run a series of networking groups for professionals to meet, share best practice and find out about the latest developments.

The groups host regular events where delegates explore ideas and hear from guest speakers. These events are a combination of structured learning and networking, and provide the opportunity to meet others facing similar challenges and learn from their experiences.

Wide range of subjects

Each group focuses on a particular aspect of performance improvement or industry sector:

Built Environment

Business Continuity

Customer Experience

EFQM Excellence Model User Group

Innovation Unit

Lean Six Sigma

Sustainable Development

Networking groupsWho can attend?

Anyone with an interest in a meeting's topic may attend a meeting. Employees of our member organisations and CQI members (please quote your membership number when booking) get a discount on bookings.

What is a typical event?

They are held throughout the UK and, where possible, hosted by a member organisation which has expertise or experience in the relevant area.

They are usually half-day events, with guest speakers presenting case studies and sharing their experiences, followed by facilitated sessions to further explore related ideas and experiences. There are also always plenty of opportunities to make useful contacts and network with other like-minded delegates.

The subject of the meetings is decided by each group's steering committee and topic suggestions or expert speakers are always welcome.
