Each award recipient has demonstrated that it has successfully executed strategy using a system inspired by Kaplan-Norton strategy management thinking for a period of at least the two years preceding consideration for the Hall of Fame.

As you review winners from the past, you will notice three groupings. The first group of organisations were unable to develop and evolve their next winning strategy. The second group went through transitions caused by acquisition, change in leadership, or lack of attention and energy that allowed their strategy management program to fade in efficacy or disappear entirely. The third group comprises those that continue to develop strong, dynamic strategies and used their strategy execution system to implement them well and deliver strong performance. They recognized the opportunity for continual improvement and further matured their strategy execution capabilities since admission to the Hall of Fame.
