Background

In late 2001, Ian Colley of Skill Strategies undertook an evaluation of the Country Area Program based on the Australian Quality Council's Business Excellence Framework.
The CAP team has been working to implement quality systems in its own processes and services, and had completed a successful pilot of a quality framework across a number of schools.
Building on this success, CAP management was keen to measure CAP's performance against a credible external framework, in order to identify areas for further improvement. The AQC Business Excellence Framework is a well-established and thoroughly tested approach to quality assessment, based on international standards. It is used by hundreds of Australian organisations (business, government, community as well as education) to benchmark quality performance. It is also the basis for the Australian Quality Awards for Business Excellence.
This report presents a summary of findings from this evaluation.
