“Four exemplary companies and people were honoured for their innovative approach to building their businesses” including EventElephant, according to the MBA Association.
Sir George Quigley, Chairman of Bombardier-Shorts, the Awards sponsors, who celebrated 100 years of innovation in 2009, told the 200 strong business audience that innovation was not solely the responsibility of business and industry but needed to be applied in the political arena too. He called for Government to revisit the idea of a reduced corporation tax rate for Northern Ireland, to encourage investment and enterprise and to rebalance the economy by building the private sector.
Liam Fennelly, President of the MBA Association of Ireland, the representative body for MBAs (Masters in Business Administration) praised the shortlisted companies: “This is a great opportunity to celebrate the excellent track record of innovation within many companies on the island of Ireland, a record which has enabled them to compete with the best in the world and win.”
The Innovation in Service Development Award was taken by EvenElephant, the online event management and booking system that’s been hailed as “the event organizer’s best friend”.
David Quinn, as sponsor of the award in the service category to EventElephant commented: "In a new world where consumers will play an unprecedented role in product and service development, CEOs are looking to their customers, partners and supply-chain for product and process innovation. Innovation, technology and globalisation are the new partners in a race for corporate advantage and all of us are runners in that marathon". "And in a world where close to 90% of CEOs expect the internet, mobile devices and social media to determine future business strategy , service innovation will become the driver of growth in a shrinking world where borders and time are irrelevant."
The inaugural MBA Association Innovation, Imagination and Excellence in Business Awards were supported by Bombardier Aerospace, HSBC and Queen’s University School of Management.
It was another great outing for EventElephant.
