Gem Council
The members of the GEM Council are the guardians of Excellence Models across the globe. SAI Global is one of the members of this group - for us, it is an important way to benchmark our Business Excellence model and Awards process with those of other countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, India, Latin America and Singapore. Our interaction with the GEM Council helps to guide our future developments as well as enables us to share our experiences within this global fraternity.
A website has been developed by the GEM Council members to communicate the links to each country's Excellence Model (http://www.excellencemodels.org). If you would like to know more about the Models and Awards in any of these countries, you can find more information and research articles on this public website.
