Judges’ comments
The judges liked the very clear description of how innovation is being used and how it impacts the business. There is evidence of good process in idea generation and project selection, and willingness to look outside their industry for new ideas.
Innovative solutions have provided new service offerings and competitive advantage in their chosen market niche.
