  • Design collaboration

  • Small company
  • Design cycle reduction, and
  • The Innovation and Design Excellence of the Year Award
  Short-listed companies undergo a rigorous inspection by the judging panel, led by Dr Marek Szwejczewski from Cranfield School of Management. The winners will be named and presented with their awards at a gala dinner in London on September 21. Dr Szwejczewski said: “Innovation is gaining increasing attention among senior managers and directors and many now view innovation as the key to growth and profitability. The iDEAS provide an opportunity to showcase best practice from which other companies can learn.” For more details about the awards, or to request an entry form, contact Maggie Bridge on 01234 754498 or e-mail m.bridge@cranfield.ac.uk.
