NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aviation Week
Network today announced the winners of its 16th annual Aviation
Week Program Excellence Awards, sponsored this year by Siemens PLM
Software. The awards honor global aerospace and defense programs
and projects, their leaders and their teams for going beyond
meeting requirements to exemplify the best in value creation,
leadership, adapting to complexity and executing with
excellence.
Developed in 2004, the Aviation Week Program Excellence Awards
were created in response to repeated concerns about the complexity
and difficulty associated with managing and leading the aerospace
and defense programs that are the foundation of the industry.
During the evaluation process, more than 300 program management
representatives from across industry and government score each
application, resulting in the widespread sharing of innovative
practices and processes.
"We are honored to celebrate the best of the best programs –
programs that deliver results, but that also innovate new ways to
bring technology to bear on some of society's toughest problems,"
said Greg Hamilton, president of
Aviation Week Network. "This year's nominees hailed from every
sector of the industry, and the winners truly set the standard for
what leadership and performance are all about."
Winners were announced at the annual Aviation Week Program
Management Symposium and Awards Banquet in McLean, Virginia. Finalists and winners
received awards and winners are featured in Aviation Week &
Space Technology and at www.AviationWeek.com.
