The International Quality Awards celebrates excellence in the quality sector. Judged via a rigorous evidence-based process, these awards acknowledge the contribution of the quality profession in enhancing the reputation of organisations around the world.
Phase one: For each category, a panel of three judges evaluates all applications and selects a shortlist of three finalists. This phase is completed online.
Phase two: The finalists present their entry to the judges in an online interview.
Finalists will be invited to attend in an online interview with the category judges who reviewed their entries. The interview lasts up to an hour and the judges can question finalists on any aspect of their submission. Candidates are given the opportunity to elaborate on their written entries. The judging panel decides on the winner of each category after interviewing all candidates.
If I can get up there and inspire people to go out and get into the quality world, as a young person that's a win for me and the profession.
