GLOBAL PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE AWARD (GPEA)

The GPEA (introduced in 2000 as IAPQA) is the only formal international recognition of performance or business excellence. The program is administered by the APQO which is non-stock, non-profit organization that serves as an umbrella group that brings together all of the leading quality professional societies in Asia Pacific Region. In 2010, the name of this prestigious award was changed from IAPQA to GPEA to reflect the evolution in the field of quality from a focus on product and service quality to a strategic focus encompassing overall organizational performance termed performance/organizational/business excellence. The GPEA endeavors to bridge the cultural geographic and economic system gap of National Quality Awards (NQA).

GPEA is today a strategic enabling tool for global performance excellence. It helps to strengthen the strategies and performance of organizations both public, private and NGOs to succeed in the fast-evolving global market place and be future ready in this digital era. The GPEA process promotes and strengthen awareness in performance excellence as an increasingly important tool in competitiveness towards global business success and sustainability. Adopting best practices within a country or region are extremely important for raising organizational performance levels, the customer experience, and the standard of living. This results in improving each country's or regions economic and business activity and driving GDP performance.

APQO has continually recognized National Quality / Performance Excellence Awards as a significant component of enhancing productivity, innovation and strengthening business performance improvement strategy of many countries. The Baldrige and EFQM Criteria and its variaions customized to meet the needs of various economies is widely used criteria for National Quality Awards. The GPEA process, which includes an assessment by an international panel of experienced assessors, provides an excellent opportunity for winners of National Quality Awards to benchmark and better understand their opportunities for improvement and performance based on the Business Excellence Model

APQO INTERNATIONAL INDIVIDUAL AWARDS (AIIA)

APQO International Individual Awards (AIIA) were introduced in 2000 to recognize deserving Individuals. Considering the diversity and spread of APQO membership, APQO do not practice of naming its awards after individuals. However, would support this when and where an individual has played a significant role directly for APQO e.g. founder, linked directly to APQO as an organisation. This is to keep the award exclusive and meaningful for APQO in recognising worthy role models after whom the award is named as there are many role models all over the world.

The Harrington/Ishikawa Quality Professional Award named after APQO's first honorary joint Presidents will for now be APQO's only Individual International Award named after Individuals and will be presented to a deserving quality professional that has stood out and made outstanding contributions to the promotion and implementation of quality methodologies in the Asia Pacific region and or globally. Only one award will be presented to a deserving individual annually, however if there are no worthy nominations, no award will be presented.

Prior to 2018 the various categories of the APQO Awards named after individuals administered by APQO and judged by the WLHF Board were presented during APQO International Conference Awards & Dinner Gala Platform. To facilitate clarity in the effort to enhance the APQO award process and preventing any conflict of process when shortlisting worthy winners and role models, with effect from 2018 only AIIA winners managed and judged by APQO panel of judges will be recognised at the APQO International Conference Awards Presentation platform. This will also allow APQO to strengthen its processes and be independent in its efforts to have a robust award programme for outstanding individuals.

All awards must have a proposer from any APQO member organisations, supported by the Core Council Member and known to the nominee.

There are seven categories of APQO International Individual Awards (AIIA) namely:

• APQO Award for Senior Leadership Commitment to Quality
• APQO Award for Woman in Quality Leadership
• APQO Harrington/Ishikawa Quality Professional Award
• APQO President's Award for Demonstrated Excellence
• APQO Special Recognition
• APQO Lifetime Achievement Award
• APQO Long Service Award
