Bold ideas, Real impact: Celebrating Our Q4 Innovators

Innovation continued to power everything we do throughout 2025 – from smarter internal processes to fresh client methodologies that push insight further. And we kicked off 2026 in the best possible way: celebrating those achievements at our Q4 Innovation Awards.

With everyone showcasing their biggest and best ideas from the final quarter of a jam-packed year, the room was full of energy, creativity, and healthy competition. With three prizes up for grabs (Best Blue Yonder Innovation, Best Client Innovation, and Best Presentation), every team brought their A-game as we reflected on a brilliant year of innovation and collaboration.

We’re excited to share this quarter’s winners…

Top Blue Yonder Innovation & Best Presentation

A double win for the Oracle team, our in-house data experts! They took home both Best Blue Yonder Innovation and Best Presentation with their clever Excel Scanner solution – brought to life through a brilliantly funny group video that made their entry even more memorable.

Their winning entry showcased a smart new way to streamline a common workflow, helping teams work faster and more efficiently across the business. Simple, practical, and immediately impactful – exactly the kind of innovation that delivers real value day to day.

Top Client Innovation

Blue Yonder Qual made sure they didn’t go home empty-handed, claiming Best Client Innovation for their new Sequential Recycling methodology.

Designed to deliver richer insight while keeping participant experience front of mind, the approach showcases the team’s continued commitment to evolving qualitative research in meaningful ways.

Even more impressively, this win means Qual were the only team to take home a prize in every quarter of 2025 – a fantastic achievement and a testament to their consistency and creativity across the year.
