Champion the strategic power of people

This is the moment to celebrate how human-centric strategies, rooted in culture, values, and leadership, can drive powerful business outcomes and transformation at scale.

Inspire trust, talent, and community confidence

Recognition affirms your commitment to sustainability, social impact, or public value. It’s a chance to attract talent, partners, and public trust by showing how you're leading with integrity and impact.

Best People-led Transformation

This award recognises the impact of organisational culture changes on long-term performance.

Entrants should explain why cultural change was needed, the steps taken (including key stakeholders and workforce engagement), and the characteristics of the new culture.

Judges will focus on alignment with success metrics, employee buy-in at all levels, and measurable performance improvements.

Most Sustainable Transformation

No business can ignore the importance of sustainability, but true impact comes from making it central to operations.

Judges will seek evidence that sustainability is embedded across all areas of the business, from product development to employee and customer engagement, with top-level buy-in and a clear long-term commitment.

Best Public or Third Sector Transformation

This category welcomes entries from all public sector areas, including government departments, local authorities, NHS trusts, educational institutions, and registered charities or not-for-profits.

Entrants should explain the rationale for their transformation, the changes made (e.g., tech, culture, function, brand), and provide evidence of how it contributed to their mission and key performance indicators over time.
