What the judges are looking for

NOTE: Individuals can either nominate themselves or be nominated.

For the Wayne Wilson Lifetime Achievement Award, the review panel are looking for evidence that will include a mix derived from:

• The thought leadership of the individual regardless of whether that is current or historic from which the benefits can be clearly seen to have been realised
• Recognised by our community as a major contributor to maturing one or more aspects of the professionalism of project controls practice
• A “go to” person for the project controls community for advice and inspiration
• An educator and mentor, sharing their knowledge and experience freely
• Experienced in a wide and diverse sub-set of the key topics that constitute project ontrols and its context in the bigger picture
• A proactive contributor and communicator in the discussion and publication of, for example, white papers, blogs, books, podcasts and other materials
• A leading spokesperson in promoting reflective and transformational discussion around Project Controls. Making connections with appropriate stakeholders to enable and facilitate beneficial change in our community.

Judges are looking for ‘programmes’ of work that can demonstrate great controls not just on time, cost and quality but also on benefits (which can typically be realised way after the project has finished), for the legacy the project is creating and how it has impacted the lives in the communities both during delivery and after everyone has ‘packed up and gone home’.

Finally, we are looking for this award to definitely disrupt our conventional view of what ‘programmes’ look like and what they can achieve.
