How the Awards Work

The Global Experience Excellence Awards operate on a structured, performance-based model. Recognition is not granted through written submissions or judging panels. It is earned through measured organisational maturity via the Experience Excellence Index (EEI).

Step 1

Complete the Experience Excellence Index (EEI)

Organisations undertake the relevant EEI maturity assessment in one or more of the following domains:

Customer Experience (CX)

Employee Experience (EX)

Patient Experience (PX)

The EEI assessment evaluates “Pillars of Excellence” through structural maturity across governance, behaviour, operational delivery, digital trust long-term value creation disciplines and much more.

Step 2

Receive Your Maturity Score

Upon completion, organisations receive a 0–100 Experience Excellence Score and a corresponding performance level.

Performance Levels:

  • Foundation
  • Evolving
  • Pioneering
  • Outstanding
  • Exemplary

The score reflects structured maturity density rather than perception or sentiment alone.

Step 3

Eligibility for Recognition

Organisations achieving defined performance thresholds become eligible for national, sector or global recognition.

Eligibility criteria are based on measured maturity and may vary depending on award category and geographical structure.

Step 4

Validation (Where Applicable)

Upon completion of an EEI Assessment, organisations will undergo structured validation to confirm evidence integrity and ensure consistency between claimed maturity and observable organisational practice, should they decide to enter the Awards.

Step 5

Formal Recognition

Eligible organisations are formally recognised within the annual Global Experience Excellence Awards cycle.

Recognition may include national awards, sector distinctions or global excellence awards, depending on performance band and validation outcome.

Key Principles

  • No written submissions required

  • No subjective judging panels

  • Performance measured through structured benchmarking
