Why enter? Back office functions often get overlooked Winning an SDI award: • Provides recognition and reward • Generates a positive team climate • Demonstrates that their people are valued and recognised • Is a reason to be proud • Builds confidence
Why enter? • The process of writing the submission is satisfying • To learn about themselves and the business • The submission documents: • what they do • what they don’t do • What they’ve done • Produces a reference document • It’s a team building exercise
What’s the effect of winning? • A real buzz on the desk • Morale rockets • A real sense of achievement • Promotes their success • Tell their customers • Email footer • Poster
How long does a submission take? How long is a piece of string? • Winners spend time • 10 -14 man days not unusual, sometimes longer • Over a 3-4 month period • Winners manage the project But it’s worth it!
How do they celebrate? • Team activities • Day at the races • Dinner • Party – invite people from the business • Go-carting • WII
