Team Excellence Assessment
Team Excellence (TE) journey in Singapore traces its roots back to the 1980s, when the Innovation and Quality Circles (IQCs) movement first took shape. Spearheaded by SPRING Singapore—then the national body for promoting productivity—IQCs encouraged employees to form teams, identify problems, and solve them collaboratively. These grassroots initiatives sparked a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and learning in the workplace.
In Singapore, SGPA leads the Team Excellence movement, helping organisations embed a culture of improvement and innovation in their teams. The Team Excellence Assessment (TEA)—the only national-level platform for grading teams in terms of continuous improvement and innovation—continues the legacy of the IQC movement by recognising and celebrating teams that drive excellence in their organisations.
Team Formation
Team formation serves the purpose of continuous improvement, innovation, and learning.
Team Excellence
Excellence is pursued through the adoption of best practices under the umbrella of Business Excellence.
Assessment Modes
Assessments are conducted by a panel of assessors and can be held in two formats: Public Run or In-house.
Public Runs
Public Runs take place every March and September. They provide a platform for teams to present their innovation projects and for audiences from various organisations and industries to learn from the projects shared. This cross-sharing environment fosters inspiration, sparks new ideas, and encourages the adaptation of similar projects across different sectors and functions.
In-house Runs
In-house Runs are tailored for a single organisation and held at the organisation’s premises upon request. These sessions enable internal teams—such as process improvement groups or organisational excellence teams—to showcase their work, share ideas, and learn from one another. The in-house format strengthens a culture of innovation, helps improve processes, and allows the dissemination of best practices and ideas within the organisation.
