EVERY CHALLENGE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
Canadian organizations are facing strong headwinds because of economic and political challenges and uncertainty. Government is acting to mitigate the impact, but leaders need to proactively shock-proof their businesses. Excellence Canada has been working with Canadian organizations since 1984 to establish and manage standards and frameworks that do just that.
To support organizations with the challenges of 2025 and beyond, we proudly announce the launch of EPIC- the Excellence in Productivity, Innovation, and Competitiveness Framework. Appropriate for all organizations, but geared towards Canada’s small and medium sized enterprises, it is a purpose-built management framework that helps organizations achieve sustained excellence through structured planning, customer & market engagement, and technological innovation.
