The evaluation process relied on a panel of international professionals who provided data-driven scores to determine the recipients. By focusing on measurable outcomes rather than subjective criteria, the organization aims to highlight excellence across diverse sectors, ranging from small business operations to large-scale corporate teams.

Since its inception, the program has expanded its reach to include awards for branding, communications, and product development alongside traditional management roles. The organizers credited the success of the 2026 cycle to the judging panel, whose expertise shaped the final list of winners now published on the official Globee website.
