What These Awards Have In Common

Every award on this page was given for translating science into practical, easy to use solutions.

The earliest (DuPont, 2011) recognized a behavior change program at a single power station. The most recent (IIRSM, 2026) recognized a statistically evaluated training program at a global technology company. The progression reflects the evolution of the work itself: from applying psychology to individual behavior, through building scalable human performance programs at BP, to developing the tools and methodology that became Learning from Normal Work.
