BIFM Awards 2013

Open-access content Thursday 21st February 2013 — updated 1.53pm, Tuesday 5th May 2020
The latest BIFM comment column. Joanna Lloyd-Davies looks in depth at the Profound Impact Award, BIFM Awards 2013.

22 February 2013

If you have not already seen the publicity, I would like to introduce the BIFM Awards for 2013 and encourage your interest and participation.


As you may know, I have been a voluntary awards judge for almost 12 years and a lead judge for over half that time. Now, after three years as lead judge for the FM
of the Year category, I have been asked to lead the new 'Profound Impact Award'.

Award and definitions

New for 2013, this award recognises the profound impact made by an individual, organisation or project on the FM industry over the last five years.

The judges welcome all entries that show how such an impact has been created, evolved and delivered over the last five years to the benefit of the FM industry.

The dictionary definition of 'profound' is that which penetrates deeply into subjects
or ideas; shows or requires great knowledge or understanding; is situated at or extends to a great depth; is intense or absolute, or thorough-going and extensive. 'Impact' is defined as the impression made by an idea, or to have a strong effect.

Submitting guidelines
Submissions may be made by an individual, an organisation or project team. Please note that all parties involved should be represented by the entry. Full, clear and concise information must be presented, together with evidence of implementation, success, challenges and evolution that has been delivered in the last five years.

Submissions will encompass a formal paper, no longer than 10 pages, providing full information, the parties involved, initial concept and evolution, baseline information, timeline of progress, and the achievements over the last five years, together with anticipated future progress. Evidence of success and profound impact must be shown.

Judging criteria
1.    Creation, evolution and sustainability of the initiative
2.    Demonstration and evidence of activities, value creation and appropriate case studies
3.    How this profound impact delivers, contributes and supports the FM industry

The judges will be seeking evidence of the impact on the FM industry. The entrants must demonstrate the concept and how this has evolved since inception, highlighting the profound impact on the industry over the last five years. Entries must be supported by all parties to the initiative, and the evaluation process may include appropriate reference-taking. We welcome third party comment. The submission will show the scale and impact of the initiative, as well as indications of sustainable future developments.

I would like to encourage you to enter the awards, not only to share how you achieve excellence but to raise the standards in FM across the board. Showcasing true excellence is imperative. We need to stamp out mediocrity, demonstrate the art of the possible and continuously raise the bar across the FM service sector. I hope you will give serious consideration to all the categories and particularly the new Profound Impact award.

Your involvement in the BIFM Awards is vital and supports the continuous improvements we urgently need to demonstrate across all FM services. If you have any questions regarding this new category, please do not hesitate to contact me.
