Wales Innovation Award
The intention behind the award is to recognise innovation within the private, public and third sectors across Wales.
In particular the award is seeking to demonstrate as broadly as possible the range of innovative thinking that takes place in all sectors as well as technology.
These awards are open to all teams or organisations employed directly, or indirectly, for the benefit of the public, private and third sectors in Wales.
The award process will evaluate the methodology used by entrants to create genuinely innovative products, services and people processes.
The award will test the efficacy of formalised processes which organisations use to manage innovation. For processes which are less formal but none the less successful in their innovation, the award will expose areas where they can improve innovative thinking. For those which have neither but do have an innovative culture, the award will offer examples of how they might improve the outcome of their innovative approach.
The award assessment model is designed to evaluate 3 distinct areas:
- product
- service
- people
The judging will be carried out by a team of up to 12 people who are related to and known as innovative in their field of work. This will include individuals from the private, public and third sectors and individuals from academia.
Entrants will have the opportunity to attend half-day workshops which describe the requirements of the award. These will provide examples of the kind of data the judges expect to see.
The award costs £50.00 + VAT to enter.
This award will close for applications on 19 September 2011. Please see website for further details.
