The Process Excellence Awards celebrate process excellence initiatives that have delivered outstanding results in a variety of categories, including “Best Improvement Program”, “Best Project Under 90 Days” and “Deployment Leader of the Year”. The awards were presented earlier this week at the annual Profit through Process conference in Orlando, Florida.

Hospitals, manufacturers and even the United Nations were among those awarded top honours at IQPC’s process excellence awards ceremony on Tuesday evening.

The awards celebrate process excellence initiatives that have delivered outstanding results in a variety of categories, including “Best Improvement Program”, “Best Project Under 90 Days” and “Deployment Leader of the Year”.
