"The quality of organisational processes have a direct bearing on the quality of the results. PQASSO makes that direct link between
management and processes and the outcomes and impact produced, and evidence about outcomes is part of the quality
assessment. In PQASSO both processes and outcomes are assessed. This is not the case for many quality systems." (Survey
respondent, VCO).

"I like EFQM as it is a framework in which other things can sit – it gives you the common language I was looking for but means you can do HR ... I’m not a fan of ISO but if we ever felt we had to go
down that route, we’d plug ISO in to EFQM. EFQM talks about continuous quality improvement.
... In the world of competitive tendering, there is a sense of having some external accreditation it passports you through the
tendering process." (VCO, interview)

"I come from a private industry background – but ISO is like using a sledgehammer:
there are lots of things with this that a small organisation wouldn’t need to run a
grant – it’s more to do with manufacturing and is too in depth." (Interview, Funder).
