Project Management Awards to be presented at BPUG Congress

10 January 2008, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK… The Best Management Practice Partnership of OGC, TSO and APM Group is sponsoring an awards ceremony to be held at the BPUG Congress event on 6 February 2008 at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London.

There will be six awards with the following categories:

• Outstanding contribution to embedding PRINCE2 in the public sector
  
• Outstanding contribution in an international sphere
  
• Outstanding contribution made to development of qualifications
  
• Innovation in a user organisation

The recipients of these four awards have been selected by the Board of BPUG in recognition of their outstanding contributions in their particular fields of endeavour.

Nominations are sought for two further categories:

• Outstanding individual contribution to development of guidance
  
• Innovation in training

The outstanding individual contribution to development of guidance will be nominated by BPUG members who can vote online via the members section of the Best Practice User Group website at www.usergroup.org.uk.

The Innovation in training award is nominated by APM Group Accredited Training Organisations who have been invited to send their nominations to Richard Pharro at The APM Group.

Pharro said, "I am looking forward to presenting this award at the BPUG Congress. One training company has already outstripped the others in terms of nominations but there is still time for them to be overtaken by one of their peers.. I'd like to encourage all ATOs to vote as I know the Awards Ceremony will be one of the highlights of the congress."
