2008 Vision Awards Call For Entries

New York — Companies that excel in business performance management are now eligible to enter the 2008 Vision Awards to recognize their leadership.

Entering their second decade, the Vision Awards are the only awards developed specifically to recognize business performance management.

“Today more than ever business performance management is helping executives establish new economic models — BPM is helping bring in to view the linkage between innovation and long-term growth,” said Matt Weiner, group publisher of Business Finance magazine, which sponsors the awards along with SAS.

With the radical change seen over the last decade, organizations have moved from a focus on cost control, to one of innovation and growth. BPM is helping them to quantify and then optimize outcomes in ways unimaginable 10 years ago, Weiner explained.

Organizations are evaluated and recognized by size, as determined by annual sales revenue/turnover, in several categories. The categories are: More than $5 billion; $501 million to $5 billion; and less than $500 million.

Past Vision Award winners include Kansas City Southern, American Red Cross, Princess Cruises, Wyeth Canada, the United States Postal Service, Hyatt International Corp., Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, IBM, Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, Keane Inc., Zarlink Semiconductor, Best Buy Company Inc, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Herman Miller Inc., The Dow Chemical Co., Northrop Grumman, Lucent Technologies, Fujifilm, Advantage Sales & Marketing LLC, Structural Dynamics Research Corp., Roy F. Weston Inc.
