Evaluation parameters

What the jury looks at

Uniqueness and innovation

Has the project or initiative introduced something new, or a sharper way of doing the work?

Effectiveness and impact

Did the initiative, project, or campaign meet its objectives and targets? What was used to measure success, and what changed for the company and the industry?

Dynamism

Is the strategy, project, or initiative able to flex when conditions change, and to take the next useful opportunity?

The process

Four stages

  1. I

    Nomination

    Nominate your company or yourself by filling out the nomination form. A third party or a business associate can also nominate you, if they believe the work deserves more recognition and has a real chance to win. Email us if you need a nomination form.

  2. II

    Preliminary round

    After a nomination arrives, the research team — experienced practitioners — does the first screening. Entries are checked against the evaluation criteria and the other information supplied. Entries that do not meet the eligibility criteria are disqualified.

  3. III

    Evaluation

    The judging panel shortlists nominations in each category from what is written in the application. This round is anonymous: the jury is not shown the applicant’s identity. The jury is made up of industry leaders and academicians.

  4. IV

    Final

    Winners are decided from the combined score of the jury and the market research team.

The decision is final

The decision of the jury and the research team of BizSpeak Business Solutions, on selection and on disqualification, is final.
