Recognized as the country’s premier quality citations, Qimpro Awards was conceptualized in 1989 by Dr. J. M. Juran, the Quality Guru, to recognize individual excellence in quality management. The awards commenced by recognizing leaders and facilitators in business with the Qimpro Gold Standard and Qimpro Silver Standard respectively.
We now focus on Qimpro Platinum Standard for Statesmanship and Qimpro Gold Standard for Leadership in three categories – Education, Healthcare, and Business.
The winners are selected by three eminent panels of judges; each chaired by the respective Qimpro Platinum Standard of the previous year.
