Agility in Finance, Procurement, and Contracts

Through the Agile Business Awards, we aim to recognise organisations' achievements relating to agility in Finance. This Awards process is framework agnostic and inclusive. Applications are welcomed from organisations that: 

  • focus on agility through a specific framework,  
  • use a hybrid that includes elements from many frameworks, or  
  • have changed the way they work by shifting to an agile mindset, supporting their approach with a selection of tools and techniques. 

This award recognises those using agile principles and practices across contracting, procurement and finance; organisations that have introduced ways of working that balance the need for financial reporting and control, with the flexibility needed to make room for innovation in the face of enduring change and uncertainty. 

Achieving Agility in Finance requires compliance processes and reporting to blend with the trust that allows innovation, partnerships and collaboration to thrive.  We are looking for organisations that have achieved an agile ethos and culture, whilst also defining boundaries for budgets, procurement and contractual relationships. Balance is key to excellence in Agile Finance, so that risk to the business is controlled, regulatory compliance is assured, and a robust legal framework protects all collaborations and third party relationships.
