Excellence in Practice

The EFMD Excellence in Practice Award attracts case studies describing an effective and impactful Learning and Development intervention. These programmes can be deployed by an organisation (company, public sector, charity etc..) either together with their inhouse L&D organisation or with an external L&D provider.

The specific Learning and Development domain in which the intervention is situated can be:

  • Leadership Development
  • Professional Development
  • Talent Development
  • Organisation Development

All partners must act as a team and contribute to the case study to ensure a balanced view.

Submission is free if at least one of the applicants is an EFMD member organisation. A small administration fee of 300 Euro will be charged for non-members applicants.

Winning cases will be featured extensively across the EFMD network and published in the Emerald Group Publishing "Strategic Direction" journal.

Next deadline for submission of full papers: Spring 2013 (date tbc)

Expression of interest needs to be addressed to: Mrs. Florence Gregoire
