The London Excellence Awards 2008: Going National
We are delighted that the 2008 London Excellence Awards will be run in collaboration with the Chartered Quality Institute.
Now entering their 4th year, we have had a steadily growing demand for entries with an increasing geographic spread of interest. As a result, the decision has been taken to accept entries from across the UK. So whether you are in Acton, Aberystwyth or Aberdeen you can now compete for our coveted trophies and gain the benefit of a peer-written feedback report to drive your performance forward.
With two new categories aimed at the smallest businesses employing 25 or less staff, the London Excellence Awards 2008 promise to be the most exciting yet.

Autumn Conference: Welcoming back Olivier Mythodrama
Our Autumn Conference this year is being held on the 29th November.
We are delighted that this event is being held in collaboration with the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI), strengthening the links between the worlds of Excellence and Quality.
In addition to the CQI’s Quality Leader of the Year and all the winners from the London Excellence Awards 2007, we are delighted to once again welcome a speaker from Olivier Mythodrama.
Based in theatre, rooted in psychology and focused on organisational development, Olivier Mythodrama facilitates transformational learning.
“Olivier was the most amazing speaker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Had every single member of the audience in his hand. Changed my thinking on leadership for ever.”
Peter Baldwin, Corus Construction
