Infosys, Wharton Unit Set Up Business Transformation Award

Infosys Technologies and the William and Phyllis Mack Center for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania are joining forces to present the Wharton Infosys Business Transformation Award, to recognise organisations that have transformed their business or industry through the creative application of technology.

Cutting across industries, these awards will showcase best practices of using technology to create new paradigms and change the way business is done by influencing companies' bottom lines.

The award has three categories to recognise transformation initiatives that are enterprise-wide, initiatives limited to a location or division, and individuals who have been key drivers of the use of technology as a transformation tool.

 

There will be two winners in each category. Applications will be judged by a panel that includes thought leaders such as Esther Dyson, chairman of EDventure Holdings, Sir Paul Judge, chairman, Schroder Income Fund, N R Narayana Murthy, chairman and chief executive officer, Infosys Technologies and Dr. Harbir Singh, co-director of the Mack Center and chairperson of Wharton's Management Department.

The panel also includes industry leaders such as Michael Eskew, chairman and CEO, United Parcel Services (UPS), and David Boyles, group managing director, technology and services, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ).

The industry judges have considerable experience in successfully applying technology to improve the processes and bottom lines of their respective organisations. To ensure objectivity, industry panelists will not be involved in reviewing or judging applications from their own industry.
