Meet the BCI Awards Judges 2023
Our Judging Panel Selection Committee for the BCI Awards 2023 has reviewed all candidates and chosen the most suitable individuals for the position. We have set a high standard for our judges and highlight their expertise, inspiring a broad and diverse group of BC and Resilience professionals working in our industry from around the world. The judging panel will consist of 1 Head Judge, 18 primary judges and 5 reserves to ensure that the judging process runs smoothly.
On his vision for the BCI Awards, Head Judge, James McAlister Hon FBCI, commented: “For many years, the BCI Awards have been the most sought after awards in the organizational resilience industry. You only have to look back at the people and companies who have won awards to see how much they are internationally valued.”
He continued: “The review of the awards system took over nine months and involved a global volunteer committee who worked tirelessly to develop a fit for purpose awards programme. The innovative system comprises a tougher judge selection process, including ongoing training, award criterion matched to the BCI’s Competency Framework, a simplified assessment scoring matrix, commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and three new awards.”
