Celonis Global Game Changer Awards: Celebrating those that drive value and deliver impact with process intelligence

Calling all Game Changers!

For the second year in a row, Celonis is holding its annual Global Game Changer Awards. The awards recognize Celonis customers that use the company’s Process Intelligence Platform to deliver extraordinary impact to their employees, customers and communities. The winners and runners-up will be announced during Celosphere 2024, and each winner will get $25,000 (USD) to donate to a charity of their choosing.

Game Changer Awards are given in the following three categories:

• Innovation: This award recognizes customers who have explored the latest innovations in the Celonis Platform, creating novel use cases or boosting process productivity. Applicants should demonstrate how they are using cutting-edge approaches in combining new technologies with the Celonis Process Intelligence Graph, demonstrating innovative uses of AI or process intelligence.

• Value Excellence: The winner of this award will be able to demonstrate value realization best practices (e.g., value plan and value governance) leading to value at scale, as well as a center of excellence (CoE) setup, strong executive sponsorship and widespread business enablement. 

• Community Inspiration: This award celebrates the Celonis customers who have gone above and beyond in sharing their stories with their peers over the course of 2024.

Companies can apply to be considered for the Innovation and Value Excellence categories, while candidates for the Community Inspiration award are selected by a panel of Celonis experts.
