How Do I Get Nominated?

Companies or individuals can be nominated for the awards by themselves or by other industry experts, clients, customers, or any other stakeholders. The nomination process will be open to individuals and businesses from all over the world.

Describe The Screening Process

All nominations undergo an initial screening based on eligibility criteria, including factors such as industry recognition, innovation, leadership, service, sustainability, and social responsibility. This screening is conducted by a panel of industry experts selected for their expertise and impartiality.

Applicants must demonstrate excellence or world-class achievement in areas such as Leadership, Service, Research, Innovation, Teaching, Mentoring or Artistic Accomplishment. Global Recognition Awards uses a grading system from 1 to 5, where 1 is graded as minimal and 5 is graded as exceptional or world-class. These factors, relevant to each category’s industry, form the basis of our Rasch model analysis.

Shortlisting Process

Screened nominations are shortlisted using the Rasch model, a statistical approach that converts ordinal data into interval measures. This method allows for a more objective comparison of applicants across different criteria.

Shortlisted individuals and businesses will be notified and may be asked to provide additional information, including company profiles, achievements, and testimonials. This data will be incorporated into the Rasch model analysis to refine the evaluation.

The Rasch model prioritizes quantitative factors, focusing on measurable data that objectively determines a business’s success. This approach ensures a fair, unbiased, and objective evaluation process.

Evaluation Process

Shortlisted applicants are evaluated using the Rasch model, which creates a linear scale of measurement for each category. This allows for precise comparisons between applicants, even when they excel in different areas.

The evaluation considers both quantitative and qualitative factors, such as:

  • Innovation
  • Impact
  • Leadership
  • Sustainability

The Rasch model analysis is conducted by our panel of industry experts and judges. They interpret the results, considering the unique context of each applicant to identify truly outstanding individuals and businesses.

This methodology allows the Global Recognition Awards to:

  1. Compare applicants on a common scale, despite differences in their strengths
  2. Identify areas where businesses truly excel beyond their peers
  3. Provide a more nuanced understanding of ‘excellence’ within each category

Announcement of Winners

The Global Recognition Awards program continues to promote and recognize individuals and businesses who have demonstrated excellence or demonstrated extraordinary ability at a world-class level. Our adoption of the Rasch model enhances our ability to identify and celebrate truly exceptional achievements.

Winners will be announced by email.
