- Q.: What is the assessment methodology?
- A.: The Australian Business Awards utilises a robust and dynamic framework to ensure that the assessment process is pertinent, objective, free of bias or influence. Entries are evaluated in accordance with the business award framework and scored against specific criteria for each award category.
- Q.: What is the award criteria?
- A.: Entries are scored against a range of criteria across seven main areas: leadership & strategy, impact on industry, adaptability & sustainability, human resource management, customer relationship management, process management and evidence of success. The specific criteria for each category is stipulated in the applicable entry guidelines.
- Q.: How is the assessment conducted?
- A.: Entries are checked for completeness, thoroughness and general conformance to the award criteria and are evaluated via a rigorous assessment process. The requirements as outlined in The Australian Business Awards entry guidelines vary by award category and may include: a comprehensive written submission, product samples, reports attained through independent research, productivity reports, analysis reports and technical literature.
- Q.: How are the winners selected?
- A.: The business award winners are selected from the organisations that have achieved the highest scores as outlined in the specific award criteria and aggregated across all industries. The Awards aim to identify the industry leaders via a set of established business award categories. One winner is selected per industry resulting in a singular organisation being announced as the category winner within their industry.
- Q.: Are there any runners up?
- A.: The organisations which score lower than the winning entries are not referenced, ranked or rated by the Australian Business Awards. To avoid ambiguity within the public forum, no award can be shared by multiple organisations within the same industry, nor are there any designated runners-up, finalists or nominees. Any organisation claiming any of these accolades or achievements is making these claims erroneously and without the permission of the Australian Business Awards.
