1. Nomination checklist
- Choose the track. Transformational Leaders if a person led the transformation; Transformational Enterprises if it belongs to a company or brand; or nominate both.
- Choose the edition. Dubai (19 November 2026), Barcelona (April 2027), London (September 2027), or Any edition.
- Check eligibility. The transformation should sit within the last 24 to 36 months and be possible to evidence. Read the Recognition Standards for the edition.
- Name the nominee. Full name, designation, email and LinkedIn profile for a leader. Organisation name, website, country and industry for an enterprise.
- Define the field of transformation. Business model, AI and digital, sustainability and energy transition, people and culture, global growth, or societal impact.
- Write what changed. Say what the organisation did differently, in plain terms, in a few short paragraphs.
- Add results that show it. Figures with a period and a source: revenue, customers, jobs, emissions, reach. State the baseline.
- Add supporting links. Annual reports, press coverage, filings, certifications, product pages. Public sources are easiest to verify.
- Confirm integrity. No unresolved regulatory action, material litigation or governance failure that the nominee would not want reviewed.
- Submit the form. Use the 2027 form at gceip.com/nominate-2027 and confirm the information is accurate.
2. Evidence template
Copy these headings and complete each. Short, dated and sourced answers read best.
- The transformation in one sentence
- Example format: “Between [year] and [year], [organisation] moved from [starting point] to [end point] by [what it did].”
- Starting point (baseline)
- Where the organisation stood at the start: size, performance, position. Include the date and source.
- What changed
- The decisions and actions. Name the programmes, products, investments or restructuring. Keep each to one or two sentences.
- Results, with period and source
- Metric | Before | After | Period | Source. Include at least three, and prefer figures that a third party can check.
- People affected
- Employees, customers, communities or partners, and what changed for them.
- What held
- Evidence that the change lasted: results across more than one period, retained customers, continuing programmes.
- Third-party evidence
- Links to reports, audits, certifications, awards or independent coverage.
- Challenges and how they were handled
- What was difficult, and what the organisation did about it.
3. From nomination to recognition
- Nomination. A leader, an enterprise or both is nominated through the 2027 form, by the nominee, a peer or an adviser acting on their behalf.
- Review. Each nomination is reviewed against the edition’s eligibility before it goes further.
- Integrity screening. Checks for regulatory action, material litigation, governance failures and adverse media.
- Scoring. Entries are scored on the published criteria, using the Transformational Leadership Index™ or the Transformational Enterprise Index™.
- Shortlist. The entries that go forward to the jury after review and screening.
- Jury. The jury reviews scores and evidence and confirms honourees. Jurors declare any conflict of interest and step back from the entry.
- Recognition. Honourees are recognised at the edition and recorded with the edition and year.
