Peer community voting now open
The Gartner Power of the Profession Awards are a community-led recognition of the most impactful supply chain initiatives every year.
Selected exclusively by the supply chain community and a panel of top chief supply chain officers, these awards encourage the community to identify standout business and talent initiatives to advance the supply chain profession.
The Gartner 2021 Power of the Profession Awards Semi-Finalists have been announced.
First, all entries will be shortlisted down to a group of semi-finalists by expert analysts from Gartner Supply Chain research teams.
Then we invite members of the supply chain profession who are part of the Gartner community to vote for who should make the group of finalists. Voting will take place between November 6th and December 11th, 2020 – it’s up to your professional peers to decide who makes it to the final stage!
As a Gartner member, you will be able to cast your vote for up to six entries. You may not vote for your own company. Ineligible votes will be discarded.
Voting can be done using the following platform: https://potp.awardsplatform.com/
The finalists will then be individually evaluated by an expert panel of the world’s leading C-level supply chain executives and academics. In this final stage, each judge will rank the three finalists in each category based on their achievement against each of the three award criteria: innovation, execution, and impact. The final winners will be revealed at Gartner’s Peer Forum in San Diego (Date TBD).
One major category, with four subcategories, focusing on advancing the profession:
