Change to Excellence Awards closing date
Due to the low number of entries in the Datacom Award for Transforming Services Delivery and the Capability Group Award for Organisation and People Development categories we have extended the deadline for written entries in these two categories only to Monday 14 March 2022, and the deadline for the video component and ticket purchase in these two categories to Monday 28 March 2022.
Entries in the other five categories have closed and entrants should adhere to the 18 March 2022 deadline for the completion of videos and purchase of a ticket.
This is an extended opportunity who those who might have been bogged down with things like the Department for Internal Affairs request for info or annual planning, but who have a great programme or project to share with the sector.
Datacom Award for Transforming Service Delivery
The Datacom Award for Transforming Service Delivery is for programmes or projects that result in an exceptional service experience through new delivery models or the redesign of business processes or practices. The programme or project can relate to any area of council activity which is about delivering improved value for money to ratepayers. The approach must be capable of transfer to other local authorities.
Capability Group Award for Organisation and People Development
The Capability Group Award for Organisation and People Development is for approaches that build an exceptional organisational culture or capability through the application of transformational leadership. Entries in this category might be multi-year programmes or one-off projects but they will involve organisational redesign, human resource management, leadership development or other means of building organisational or staff capability. The approach must be capable of transfer to other local authorities.
The entry form is available here.
