Entries close on 14 July 2023.
Entering the ECCCSAs
Any organisation or teams that are nominated are to reside in Europe; projects are to have been designed and delivered in Europe (but can support a global customer base) and organisations that enter are to focus on putting forward their European operations. The only exception to this is those entering the new Best Customer Service into Europe category where the teams may be based outside of Europe. Russia is not eligible to enter the 2023 programme.
To enter the awards the first step is to register here, submit your written entry and pay for it before midnight on Friday 14 July 2023. You can pay for your entry (or entries) at any time and continue to edit them right up to the deadline.
Yes, each section has a word limit between 100 and 500 words. The limit for each section is indicated on the online form.
You should include the specific information requested for the category that you choose. In both the online submission and during the face-to-face judging, the judges are looking for nominations that tell a clear story – the motivations, the deliverables and how the results were achieved. What lessons were learnt along the way and how were challenges overcome? What’s next in your journey?
They are looking for evidence of the impact of what has been delivered and how the nomination benchmarks against other entries, with a particular focus on:
- Purpose
The judges will be looking for a clear vision for what you have achieved. What is the rationale behind the story and how did you engage stakeholders? Describe the objectives, the strategy and how it aligns to the business.
- Impact
What impact have you had? Let the judges know your performance against KPIs, covering customer employee, operational and commercial metrics. Also consider savings made, efficiency gains, changes in productivity, reassignment of resources and increases in revenue.
- Experience
Explain to the judges how the customer and/or employee experience has improved. Evidence this with feedback from stakeholders, for example voice of the customer and/or employee feedback. Judges will be looking for a good understanding of customer and/or employee needs.
- Innovation
Demonstrate creative thinking. The judges want to hear how you approached things differently. What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them? Share your plans for the future and how you intend to continually improve.
- Best Practice
The judges will be looking for examples of great practice. They want to see approaches and experiences that others can learn from. How do you really stand out from the crowd?
