To remain resilient and future-ready, organisations must strengthen five fundamental pillars—Innovation, Quality, Training, Excellence and Artificial Intelligence (AI)— as these are critical drivers of sustainable growth. Today’s competitive global business environment demands a rigorous culture of quality, continuous learning and development, and the capability to deliver innovative products and services that create enduring value for stakeholders, supported by a steadfast commitment to business excellence.
Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India completes 35 glorious years, which is now regarded as hallmark of Corporate Excellence, both locally and globally. This is largely due to its robust transparent evaluation process and determination of clear criteria.
