Here are our 2019 winners as voted for by the public.

Sam Gregson-Williams

The Football Association

For Sam at The FA, effective project management is vital – especially when the eyes of the world are upon the organisation. Embedding Smartsheet across the business, Sam helped to bridge organisational siloes and ensured the tool has become a core part of business operations, from managing England’s performance at World Cups, to hosting a record number of events at Wembley stadium. In fact, the entire organisation uses Smartsheet from planning each season\'s projects and activities through to delivering and reporting on those projects. The FA and its stakeholders benefit from greater accountability and visibility, through consolidated dashboards, across the group.

Dan Foster

Paragon Customer Communications

Gaining customer trust and confidence is a major priority for Paragon Customer Communications. That’s why Dan Foster and his colleagues have been using Smartsheet for 15 months to drive an exceptional customer experience. Paragon first implemented Smartsheet during a transitional phrase, where clients needed real-time access to data on a daily basis. Now, Dan and his teammates are able to use dashboards to provide this – and they’ve also implemented non-conformance systems, allowing collaborators to raise issues, and ensuring quick concern resolution. This has significantly improved time management, efficiency and risk management. Most importantly, it has given Paragon’s clients ultimate confidence.

Kate Tinsley

Workforce Software

At WorkForce Software, Smartsheet was originally used by just a few members of staff. Now, Kate Tinsley and her colleagues are exploring new, expanded uses for the software, pushing the boundaries of what Smartsheet can do. It’s used on a global basis and the workforce management business employs every functionality Smartsheet has to offer, including scheduling, reporting, project logs, customer dashboards, customer tracking, and real time global project collaboration, both internally and externally. Smartsheet has saved time, helped reduce leakage, and instilled functional processes. For Kate, it’s not just a matter of project planning – it’s a financial and timesheet management tool as well.

Kate White

Kaplan Financial

The e-learning department at Kaplan Financial started small, with projects and content errors managed via email. As the team grew, the training provider needed a collaborative project management tool – so Kate White brought Smartsheet onboard to this end. Her greatest achievement so far has been to use Smartsheet to improve the department’s error-reporting process, pioneering the use of Smartsheet forms to collect data regarding errors within their e-learning content. Kate and her colleagues have been able to significantly reduce the number of error tickets, to the point where a couple of months ago, there was a period where there were none at all.
