2. Introduction
• Common Assessment Framework (CAF)
• Self Assessment
• CAF and Criterions
• Assessment Panels (Score)
• The Journey
5. CAF, What is it?
• The CAF is an easy-to-use, free tool to assist public-sector
organizations across Europe in using quality management
techniques to improve their performance.
• The CAF is a total quality management (TQM) tool
• It is inspired by the major Total Quality models in general, and
by the Excellence Model of the European Foundation for
Quality Management (EFQM) in particular.
• It is especially designed for public-sector organizations, taking
into account their characteristics.
• To be compatible with the commonest models used by the
Public and private organizations.
6. CAF purposes
• To introduce public administrations to the
principles of TQM and
• gradually guide them, through the use and
understanding of self-assessment, from the
current “Plan-Do” sequence of activities to a
full fledged “Plan-Do-Check-Act (PCDA)”
cycle;
• To facilitate the self-assessment of a public
organization in order to arrive at a diagnosis
and improvement actions;
• To act as a bridge across the various models
used in quality management;
• To facilitate bench learning between public-
sector organizations.
• To be available, free of charge
7. CAF Provides
Enablers
– The features of an organisation which determine how
it performs
– Criteria 1-5 deal with the Enabler features of an
organisation; these determine how it performs. The
assessment of actions relating to the Enablers should
be based on the Enablers Panel.
Results
– The results or outputs which the organisation
achieves
– The assessment of results requires a different set of
responses, so the responses from this point are based
on the Results Assessment Panel.
8. Why CAF good for us
• Effective identification of
the strengths of the
organization and the areas
where improvement is
needed
• Identification of relevant
improvement actions
• Increased level of awareness
and communication
throughout the organization
• to make your people
become aware and
interested in quality issues
9. Total Quality in the organization
• Quality of results =
Quality of organization
• Two management models
– ISO 9000 (housekeeping -
employees) “DO THINGS
RIGHT”
– TQM (continuous
improvement - top
management) “DO THE
RIGHT THING”
10. PDCA
• PLAN: define objectives
you want to achieve,
considering your
customers
• DO: execute your plans,
monitoring indicators
• CHECK: assess your
achievements,
comparing them with
your objectives. Success
/ failure
• ACT: correct, revise,
reconsider, improve,
consolidate
= Heuristics: solve problems by learning and discovery
12. Self-Assessment
People in the organization are the ones
who know its functioning best but they
don’t always share and knowledge is
not spread
13. Self-Assessment
– It Integrates initiatives of quality
improvement in the current management of
the organization
– It works as a diagnostic tool
– It a dynamic process, allowing the additional
motivation of people to change management
– It is a structured and rigorous way to manage
improvement processes
– It is based on facts and not on individual
subjective feelings
– It allows the recognition of progresses
achieved
– It allows internal and external benchmarking
– It recognizes performance levels
– Identifies strengths and improvement areas
– Is based on facts
– Develops a common language and promotes
a new culture
– Involves all people at all levels
– Must aim at continuous improvement

• In the process of arriving at consensus, a four-step method may be
used:
1. Presenting the range of individual scores under each sub-
criterion, as well as the statistical mean of the individual
assessments.
2. Identifying the significant points of
consensus and difference.
3. Discussing the background to any
significant cases of difference.
4. Attempting to reach consensus, possibly
on the basis of a second
assessment-round for selected criteria.
The assessment process
Undertake individual assessment

Develop and implement an
improvement plan
