3. What makes a good submission?

Submissions that contain the necessary documentation of the organisation’s business strategy,  operations, including measurable business impact and implementation/execution abilities, and provide the team of researchers and panel of advisors with a clear picture of the organisation.

A clear alignment of solution functionalities implemented vis-Ă -vis the business goals of the institution are also desirable. Evidence of innovation is sought, such as new concepts, new technologies where appropriate, or creative thinking, that distinguishes the project and sets it apart from other projects.

Submissions will also be evaluated in terms of their implementation process based on the belief that successfully implemented initiatives/projects start with a clear business case, balances the risks involved, consider a variety of alternative approaches and deliver the project within time and budget.

4. Is the information submitted made available to the public?

All information you provide will be kept in strictest confidence. The final report will collate the findings and publishes generic information that discusses trends and emerging best practices from the programme, but does not discuss any specific submission under any circumstances whatsoever.
