Roll Call of Winners and Finalists

Welcome!

Below is the full roll call of winners and finalists!

It is quite an achievement to be a finalist in The Global Six Sigma & Business Improvement Awards program. Our independent judging panel have a tough task working over a three month period. In stage one of judging their task is to select the entries to go through the short list of finalists and at this stage a lot of entries are removed from the competition. Those finalists that the judges take forward to stage two are the entries that have impressed the judges with the real results and excellence that these organizations have attained through the implementation of business improvement programs. At stage two the judges work through the finalists to select the winner for each of the categories. It is a very competitive program and congratulations are deserved by all organizations in our list of finalists. Flora Hamilton, Head of The Global Six Sigma & Business Improvement
