PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – September 20, 2016 — Best Practice Institute is calling for nominations for its 2016 Best Practice Awards. Applications are being accepted for four honors: Best Practice CEO, Best Practice Company Founder, Best Practice Organization/Practitioner, and Best Practice Thought Leader. Multiple winners will be named in each award category.
The Best Practice Awards acknowledge innovators, practitioners, executives, CEOs and consultants who have made a significant positive impact on their organizations and on modern leadership and management principles and practices.
Best Practice Institute is a leadership and management association focusing on best and innovative business practices. BPI has more than 42,000 subscribers, from managers to senior and C-level talent, HR, and HR Tech executives, including corporate and individual members on five continents and executives and employees of more than half of the Fortune 500. Best Practice Awards are judged by C-Level, Fortune 1000 talent executives.
BPI began honoring exceptional business leaders in 2006. The Best Practice Awards have become among the most coveted awards in management, leadership development and cutting-edge HR Technologies.
“BPI’s Best Practice Awards accomplish much more than simply saying ‘well done’ to some worthy leaders,” said Louis Carter, BPI founder and CEO. “These awards make an important contribution to the global business community. This is a way to inform the public, including our tens of thousands of subscribing members, about the true leaders and pioneers in their fields. These are the ones to watch, the ones you want to work for, and the ones you want to emulate in your own organization, not just for best practices but for next practices.”
Several past winners have gone on to join BPI’s Senior Executive Board including MasterCard’s Chief Talent Officer David Deacon, Humana’s VP of Talent & OD Roger Cude, and KeyBank’s Chief Talent Officer, Brian Fishel, among others. BPI’s Senior Executive Board is an exclusive benchmarking consortium for heads of talent to share with and learn from each other the best and next practices in talent management, leadership development and organization development.
The deadline for nominations has been extended until Friday, September 30. Finalists will be announced in mid-October, and award winners will be revealed at BPI’s Senior Executive Board fall 2016 meeting and on the Best Practice Institute website and press releases.
