The ICW Collaborative Working Awards

We have been inviting organisations, partnerships, alliances, joint ventures, ecosystems and many other types of association to showcase their great collaboration since 2015. The prestigious ICW Collaborative Working Awards is open to any - or all - who wish to share their examples of great collaboration.

We want to hear about your outstanding achievements that demonstrate the positive impact of effective structured collaboration.

Since its inception our awards have been sponsored by BSI, one of our ambassador members and collaborative partners. The Awards event is held at the House of Lords, where we host a fabulous evening for shortlisted entries to celebrate and congratulate both the winners and runners-up for their exceptional work and showcasing the value of collaborative working in action.

Every year the volume and diversity of organisations that submit applications highlights how working together can address and overcome many key business challenges, and exemplified the power of high performing collaborative teams.

ICW Awards Submission Points

  • Self-nomination through website.
  • Nominations reviewed by panel and shortlist produced.
  • Shortlisted entries will be invited to give a 20 minute in person presentation to the judging panel (usually ICW Chairman, Warwick University Professor, BSI Sponsors senior representative). Judges will ask questions during a 10 minute follow up.
  • A more detailed set of guidance and submission points are available at each annual launch.
