ROI Awards 2008

The Annual ROI Awards recognizing the best practice using the ROI Methodology will be presented. Awards will include:

ROI Practitioner of the Year

This award recognizes the individual whose advocacy of the ROI Methodology has broadly influenced audiences and organizations, on both an internal and external level. This individual is one who has demonstrated through professional practice, sustained integrity to the process - often in the face of organizational barriers - the leadership ability to create, support, and champion opportunities for creating a results-based culture.

Best Practice Implementation

The Best Practice Implementation award recognizes organizations or individuals for quantifiable results achieved through successful, enterprise-wide implementation of the ROI Methodology. Implementation strategies must describe successful practices used across all phases of implementation, including evaluation planning, data collection, data analysis, and communicating results.

Best Impact Study

Each year, literally thousands of studies are conducted. This award recognizes the one that best describes current use and application of the ROI Methodology. This award is not necessarily for the study that shows the highest ROI; the winning entry could be a negative ROI.

Best Published Case Study

Case studies are important for teaching lessons learned and best practices around the success (or lack of success) with a particular project. This award recognizes the case study that best educates and supports professionals who are implementing the ROI Methodology.

Best Published Article

One of the most effective ways of educating others and supporting the ROI Methodology is to write an article for publication. This award recognizes the article that best informs others about how to use and apply the ROI process.

Most Innovative Approach to ROI

This award is given to the individual or organization that shows the most creativity in the implementation of ROI Methodology. Innovative activity could occur in data collection, analysis, or reporting or it could involve creativity in getting others involved, using the data and building capability.
