The 2011Judges
Based on past experiences, the judging panel for the CIPS Australasia Procurement Professional Awards 2011, will have their work cut out for them. The number of entries has grown annually, as has the quality of the submissions. For the judges it is a challenging yet extremely rewarding process, as the quality of the entries demonstrates the ingenuity, professionalism and hard work that exists within the procurement profession.
The judging begins in August when each entry is marked against the judging criteria. Once all entries have been critiqued, the judges spend a day together where they evaluate, discuss and debate the shortlist and finally agree on the eventual winners.
The judging panel features experienced practitioners from all aspects and levels of the profession and will be chaired by Bill Aukett MCIPS.
