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
To ensure a comprehensive and objective assessment, only participants of our exclusive online IoE Benchmarking Tool can pursue the Diamond Award. This state-of-the-art survey platform measures performance across nine critical categories of performance excellence, providing invaluable insights into your organization's current operational level.
Each year, the data set grows with data from participating global companies and their quality professional and executive respondents. By benchmarking your performance within the global data set, you can gain a clear understanding of where your organization stands and identify areas for further advancement.
The organizations operating at the highest level based on their IoE maturity model score within the survey are eligible to receive the ASQE Diamond Award for that year. Diamond Award scoring will not occur until Benchmarking Season ends in Q3, and winners will be notified once scores have been reviewed and award recipients have been determined.
Award Benefits
Our Diamond Award is built on four key value propositions:
- Advance – Validate organizational excellence best practices by utilizing global benchmarking scores to gain competitive advantage.
- Champion – Feature your team’s performance excellence through case studies and events to build brand cache by recognizing and motivating employees.
- Collaborate – Network and engage with other high-performing organizations that exemplify performance excellence.

By taking part in the IoE Benchmarking Season in 2025, your organization will not only have the potential to receive well-deserved recognition but also gain the opportunity to advance your quality practices, champion excellence, and collaborate by understanding other top-tier organizations’ real-time performance levels.
Additionally, beginning in April 2025, each participant that completes the IoE Benchmarking Survey earns a customized Certificate recognizing their time and commitment to pursuing organizational excellence. This Certificate of Completion also contains confirmation of their Recertification Unit (RU) award of 0.1 units, which is categorized in ASQ’s Recertification Journal under Professional Development. In the spirit of our mission to support organizations in their performance excellence journey, ASQE is pleased to offer this professional development opportunity to our valued member community.
