The CEEMAN Champion Awards were launched for the first time in 2010 in line with CEEMAN’s effort to promote and reward excellence and outstanding achievements that bring in diversity, creativity, and innovation. A set of evaluation criteria was defined for that purpose. They take into account how the accomplishments are likely to contribute to business practice and knowledge in the local environment and how they contribute to the institution’s vision and strategy. Potential transferability to other CEEMAN institutions and management development in general is seen as an additional strength.
