Elm Grove, WI, January 04, 2012 – The Finalists for the 2012 Business Excellence Awards have been announced and 16 outstanding companies from Southeast Wisconsin have been named as finalists receiving a collective total of 38 nominations. Together they represent a quarter of all finalists from across North and South America.
Created to recognize the “Best of the Best” in the small-and-medium sized business (SMB) sector, the 2012 Business Excellence Awards honors the achievements and accomplishments of owners in industries from all over North and South America. Winners in the national competition will advance to the Global awards to compete against growing businesses from around the world.
The 2012 Business Excellence Awards and the 2012 Business Excellence Forum are sponsored by ActionCOACH, the world’s number one business coaching firm. The events are part of the company’s on-going commitment to innovation, business excellence and business re-education for owners and teams who operate and work in small-and-medium sized businesses.
In addition to the awards ceremony, the Business Excellence Forum will feature some of the finest speakers in the world of business, including Mark Sanborn and ActionCOACH Founder and Chairman Brad Sugars.
The 15 finalists were nominated by ActionCOACH of Elm Grove, a local business coaching firm. According to firm partner Jim Palzewicz, “This is amazing recognition for these Southeastern Wisconsin businesses. These business owners have chosen to ignore the economic challenges of the last few years, and focus on building growing, successful businesses.”
