Hakim for improving the Lebanese Excellence Award

In a ceremony held last Friday at the Bristol Hotel in Beirut and under the patronage of the Economy Minister, Alan Hakim, the EU funded Lebanese Excellence Program distributed the certificates for ‘the Assessors of the Lebanese Excellence Award’ in the presence of a crowd of notable figures. The purpose of the award is to enhance the culture of excellence and quality in the country and urge local companies and institutions to adopt quality management in order to be able to compete on the domestic and international arenas. Hakim disclosed in his words on the occasion that LEA has successfully completed three phases of the process and that work is underway to implement the fourth phase which seeks to cover the public sector, in cooperation with the office of the Minister of State for Administrative Development Affairs. “We are working on giving the award a regional and international dimension through the development of memorandums of understanding with similar initiatives in Arab and foreign countries, especially the European Community countries”
