Rm Awards For WebIt's official!  The Alarm CIPFA Risk Management Benchmarking Club is 'simply the best', having scooped first prize at the 2011 Risk Management Awards.

The Alarm CIPFA Risk Management Benchmarking Club, which was launched in 2010, has won the prestigious award of ‘Best Risk Management Product of the Year’ at the 2011 Risk Management Awards Gala Dinner, held in London on 16th November.


Against tough opposition from Datatecnics, Lockton, Marsh Risk Consulting, Prevenex Europe and Siemens Building Technologies, the Risk Management Benchmarking Club was singled out for its obvious impact on improving organisational performance.


The product provides risk management professionals with an in-depth picture of the maturity of their organisation’s risk management in order to enable them to further improve its operation. It combines Alarm’s risk management expertise with CIPFA Information Service’s successful benchmarking club methodology.


Dr Lynn Drennan CEO of Alarm, said “The Benchmarking Club is a result of years of work on Alarm’s part to develop performance indicators for risk management in public service organisations, and our partnership with CIPFA which has considerable experience in running a number of benchmarking clubs. We are delighted to have won this prestigious prize”.


Jon Graham, CIPFA Managing Director, said “This is a brilliant accolade for a benchmarking club that really helps risk management professionals deliver the best for their organisations. By working with Alarm, CIPFA Information Services was able to combine its technical excellence with Alarm’s risk management expertise to develop a truly outstanding product”.


It was also a good night for Alarm member Elaine Taylor from Essex County Council as she collected the Award for ‘Risk Management Team of the Year – Not for Profit’.
