At DEVELOR, legendary quality is not an abstract idea. It is a clear and conscious promise. A promise to our clients, our partners, and to one another that development matters, professional standards are taken seriously, and growth is approached with intention and responsibility.
We believe that true excellence is built over time. It grows out of continuous learning, disciplined practice, and the courage to reflect on and improve how we design, deliver, and evaluate our work. Legendary quality is never the result of chance. It is shaped by mindset, behaviour, and everyday professional choices.
This conviction led to the creation of “The Growth Ignition Award”.
Why The Growth Ignition Award Matters
The Growth Ignition Award was founded to make visible the consistent, high-quality work that often happens quietly in the background. It celebrates colleagues who live the DEVELOR DNA in their daily work, who take responsibility for their own development, and who actively contribute to strengthening our shared standards of excellence.
As Imre Szűcs, who initiated the award, explains:
“Legendary quality does not happen overnight. I designed The Growth Ignition Award to recognise those who understand that growth is a long-term commitment and who turn learning, reflection, and improvement into everyday practice.”
The award is not about perfection. It is about intention and consistency. It highlights role models who show that outstanding quality is built through curiosity, discipline, and professional humility.
First Presented at BRIDGE 2026
The Growth Ignition Award was presented for the first time at BRIDGE 2026, our international kick-off event that brings the DEVELOR community together around learning, connection, and shared ambition.
Introducing the award at BRIDGE was a deliberate choice. BRIDGE is where we learn across borders, challenge ourselves, and strengthen the standards that define DEVELOR quality worldwide. The Growth Ignition Award reflects this same spirit and reinforces one of our core beliefs: the trainer is our hero. Growth begins with individuals and becomes truly powerful when it is shared.
The 2026 Award Winners
We are proud to recognise the first recipients of The Growth Ignition Award:
Both winners embody the legendary quality that defines DEVELOR. Through their commitment to learning, openness to development, and active contributions to our professional community, they embody the mindset that turns growth into real, lasting impact.
Growth as a Strategic Advantage
The Growth Ignition Award is more than recognition. It is a clear statement of what DEVELOR stands for and what we believe creates long-term value for our clients. By celebrating growth, we reinforce a culture where learning is continuous, quality is non-negotiable, and excellence is built deliberately, day by day.
At DEVELOR, growth is not optional. It is the standard we set and the future we build together.
