Hosted Category, Sponsored by Qinetiq

Recognising and rewarding organisational and cultural change projects across all sectors that deliver significant benefit through project delivery excellence.

Our highly sought-after Project of the Year categories are designed to recognise project excellence, both in delivery and outcomes. There are four Project of the Year Award categories, representing different types of projects. The winners of each of these awards are entered into the prestigious overall project of the year category, of which there is one winner.

The Transformation Project of the Year Award is given to the team whose project demonstrates the most effective use of project management and the greatest benefits and outcomes to end users in projects providing transformational change, either culturally or organisationally.

We require entrants to all project of the year categories to produce a submission of 1,500-2,500 words (in English) based on the judging criteria for that category. Entrants may also submit up to four supporting images or graphics only (no text apart from captions). Video and audio is not accepted as part of the submission.

The Project of the Year categories all consist of two stages, the first stage being the written submission mentioned above and the second stage requires all finalists to present virtually to a panel of judges. Projects from all sectors, and from across the globe, may apply.

The West Airspace Deployment (West) is the first of a series of changes making up the CAA’s Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS), delivering a once in a generation change to modernise 54,000 nm2 of airspace above the UK, delivering reductions in CO2, additional capacity and efficiencies in Air Traffic Controller (ATC) workload.

One of the most technical and complex airspace projects ever undertaken by NATS, the West airspace Deployment delivered on budget in March 2023, two months earlier than scheduled whilst enabling more benefits than identified at inception.

Bentley Motor’s Prototype Department recognised the need to enhance their project management system to deliver enhanced agility and capacity for change during the early development phases of their products. The whole Bentley R&D function depends on the team delivering prototypes on time, cost, and quality to achieve the market entry dates for their extraordinary products.

To achieve the necessary pace of change, Bentley opted to partner with project management specialists MIGSO-PCUBED and established a Project Delivery Transformation project.
