The annual iESE Public Sector Transformation Awards are an opportunity to celebrate and share the most innovative practice in transforming local public services. For all of us in local government, embracing financial pressures in order to excel is a way of life. Developing new ways of working and transforming service delivery isn’t ‘just another day in the office’, it’s our passion.
No public money is spent on the event because the IESE Public Sector Transformation Awards ceremony is sponsored by individual businesses. Therefore, each winner is provided with free places in recognition of their efforts in improving their local areas.
How Do I Apply for the Transformation Awards?
To apply for the awards, you will need to complete our nomination form which will ask for you to cover the following sections in a maximum of 5000 words:

- 7 – 10: Evidence has been given that it has been done
The Finalists
Once the finalists have been shortlisted for each category, we will ask you to send in a video summarising your award winning nomination so that we can share it with the sector and showcase your best practice.
This year we held an online finalists event where we invited all our awards finalists to come and be interviewed about their nomination which we streamed live to hundreds of viewers. You can catch up on the action by clicking here.
