ASQE's Diamond Award
Introducing ASQE’s New Award for High-performing Organizations
ASQE is thrilled to announce the launch of our exclusive new award, the Diamond Award, designed to recognize and celebrate the high-performing organizations within our community. Each year, Organizational Members who participate in the exclusive online Insights on Excellence Benchmarking Tool will be eligible for this award. This prestigious accolade is more than just a badge of honor; it is a testament to the exceptional standards of excellence and innovation that our member organizations strive to achieve.
Join us in this exciting journey to measure your success, celebrate your achievements, and inspire others to reach new heights. The path to excellence begins with understanding where you stand today.
About the Award
ASQE's Diamond Award recognizes top performers in performance excellence amongst those organizations who participate in the IoE Benchmarking Tool survey each year.
The organizations operating at the highest level based on their IoE maturity model score within the survey are eligible to receive the Diamond Award for that year.
Winners of this esteemed award will be recognized at our annual Excellence Roundtable (ERT) event in November, in celebration of World Quality Month. This cross-industry gathering provides opportunities for quality professionals to learn from subject matter experts and how to utilize best practices in their own performance excellence journey.
Eligibility and Scoring
Only participants of the online IoE Benchmarking Tool are eligible for the Diamond Award. This survey measures performance across ten key categories, offering insights into your organization’s operational maturity.
Each year, the global dataset grows with input from quality professionals and executives. By benchmarking against this data, organizations can better understand their standing and identify opportunities for improvement.
Organizations with the highest IoE maturity model scores are eligible for the ASQE Diamond Award. Scoring occurs after the Benchmarking Season closes in Q3, with winners notified once evaluations are complete.
Award Benefits
Our Diamond Award is built on four key value propositions:
- Advance – Use global benchmarking insights to validate best practices and strengthen competitive advantage.
- Champion – Showcase your team’s excellence through case studies and events, boosting brand visibility and employee motivation.
- Collaborate – Connect with other high‑performing organizations committed to performance excellence.
- Recognize – Celebrate employees and inspire organization‑wide engagement, communication, and morale.
Participating in the IoE Benchmarking Season gives your organization the chance to earn recognition while advancing quality practices and learning from top‑tier benchmarks.
All survey participants will also receive a customized Certificate of Completion acknowledging their commitment to excellence and 0.1 Recertification Units (RUs) under ASQ’s Professional Development category—supporting ongoing professional growth across the ASQE community.
