WOODS Bagot has become the first architecture firm to win a Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) award.
The 2008 Asian MAKE study program is an international benchmark for best practice knowledge-driven organisations, and is administered by Teleos, an independent knowledge management and intellectual capital research firm.
“It is incredibly rewarding and exciting for Woods Bagot to be recognised as a leader in knowledge management and research as it confirms our commitment to this crucial element of our global business,” Woods Bagot’ group managing director Ross Donaldson said.
“Two years ago, the directors of Woods Bagot set out a vision to be a leading, global, 21st Century organisation, recognised for delivering intelligent and relevant designs, underpinned by research. To meet this vision, Woods Bagot has made a commitment to invest 2% of its revenue to research and knowledge initiatives that capture, share and build upon the intellectual capital of our people and projects across the globe,” he added.
Other recipients of the 2008 MAKE award include Honda Motor, LG, Samsung, SingTel, Tata Steel and
Teleos’ managing director Rory Chase said the Asian MAKE winners are effectively transforming knowledge into wealth creating ideas, products and solutions.
“They are building portfolios of intellectual capital which will enable them to out-perform their global competitors,” Chase concluded.
