Innovative Management Award - Finalists

Well we finally made it through the over 80 submissions that we received for this year Innovative Management Award co-sponsored by IBM Canada and KPMG.  Nine finalists were selected and they will be making presentations to the selection jury in early July in Toronto.

As you may recall the theme for this year's award is collaboration. There were many worthy submissions but we had to make a choice to decide on the finalists.  Needless to say that the choices were difficult to make given the calibre of the over 80 submissions.

And the finalists are:
