The College of Law Practice Management has announce its 2008 InnovAction Awards and is looking for lawyers, law firms, and other deliverers of legal services who are engaged in some extraordinary innovative projects. The goal of the Awards is to demonstrate to the legal community what can be created when passionate professionals with big ideas are determined to solve the business challenges faced in today’s competitive markets.

Award entries will be judged on the basis of four primary criteria:

• Absence of precedent (never been done or done quite this way before)


• Evidence of action (the innovative idea was transformed into action and not merely reflective of best intentions)


• Effectiveness of innovation (there is some measurable outcome that indicates the innovation is accomplishing what it was intended to do)


• Action must have taken place within no more than three years prior to this entry.

PMForum has been asked to share this information with project management practitioners. For more information on the InnovAction Awards, please visit www.innovactionaward.com
