BELLEVUE, Wash., July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The TBM Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting best practices for Technology Business Management, opened nominations for its second-annual TBM Awards today. The awards were designed to honor IT and finance leaders for their ingenuity, creativity, and contribution to the practice of TBM. Winners will be recognized during the 2014 TBM Conference on Tuesday, October 28, at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
TBM is a methodology and discipline for managing IT like a business subscribed to by more than 1,300 senior IT leaders globally. The TBM Awards recognize IT and finance professionals, teams, and organizations for operational excellence, business innovation, business transformation, and execution of the TBM vision.
Martha Heller, president of Heller Search Associates, will serve as the Master of Ceremony at this year's awards dinner, following the first full day of the TBM Conference. The Council will recognize IT and finance technology leaders in five distinct areas:
- Digital Innovator Award- Recognizing CXOs that think differently about their business - through a digital innovation lens.

"The digital economy and a rapidly evolving technology landscape require the CIO to work smarter, harder and faster to demonstrate the value of IT to the business. TBM provides CIOs with the framework and best practices they need to bridge the trust and value gap between IT, the business and finance."
