Quality vs credibility; what really shows the standards in a business? Quality is an essential element in doing good business. The quandary is quality can be present in the absence of credibility. They are a duo that are designed to complement each other. It leads to the questions; how can credibility be demonstrated? In The Good Small Business Awards credibility is present in different aspects of our judging model: ·      Independent industry experts evidenced by their accomplishments ·      Award entries assessed on the merits of their business practice ·      Due diligence to ensure award entries are authentic ·      Award entry process designed for small/micro firms for equitable opportunities ·      Demonstration of impact requested in each entry application As for quality, the criteria and scoring system is designed to be fair and non-biases. Moreso, the big announcement on Friday will showcase quality like never before! A challenging journey but supporting businesses in their sustainability journey is the greatest purpose!
