I wrote an interesting article on the value of awards such as the v|Spring v|100. My thesis was a very simple one…
Do awards have any measurable impact on business? Nearly every business magazine has a “Top What-have-you†company or CEO list. Often, the application or nomination process for these awards includes entry fees, certified financials, detailed written statements, supporting nominations, and more. When balanced against the human resources, fees, and the sheer time it takes to monitor and apply for such awards, is the recognition worth the cost, and does anyone aside from the individual award winner really care?
