A panel of judges was asked to review projects from the 2006 Premier IT Leaders honorees. In particular, they were asked to look for signs of measurable payback, learning experiences, strategic importance to the business, substantive customer impact, expansion or change in the role IT plays in the organization, and creation of new revenue opportunities or cost savings. Judges evaluated only those candidates outside their own industries.
Special thanks go to our judges, themselves Premier 100 IT Leaders alumni, who helped evaluate dozens of candidates.
