The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants Business case awards 2013 was held on the 5th of November at the Cinnamon Lakeside.
‘Breaking ground,beating competition’
The CIMA Business Case Awards is a competition that recognises organisational success and turnarounds, whilst identifying what drove such outcomes. This year, we invite ‘corporate warriors’ to compete in the business arena, submitting business cases on ‘ground breaking’initiatives which have built and sustained success, whilst beating competition.
Participants identified and narrated a specific real-life occurrence in their own organisation, presenting the case and findings, and indicating the learning to the wider community.
The key objectives of the competition were:
* To enhance knowledge on how success is achieved and sustained in an organisation, and the ability to effectively communicate such knowledge.
* To facilitate cross-company knowledge sharing by giving exposure to cases that depict organisational success stories.
