    BPI Seeks Nominations for 2014 Awards

    Best Practice Institute (BPI) has officially opened the nomination period for its 2014 Best Practice Awards. The institute is accepting entries for innovators, practitioners, executives, and consultants across four distinct categories. Multiple winners will be selected in each category, with finalists announced in mid-March 2014 and winners revealed in the summer of 2014.

    Since 2006, the Best Practice Awards have recognized leaders who have made a significant positive impact on their organizations and advanced modern leadership and management principles.

    "BPI’s Best Practice Awards accomplish much more than simply saying ‘well done’ to some worthy leaders. 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, not just for best practices but for next practices." — Louis Carter, Founder and CEO, BPI
