Veritas Group ranked 2nd on the Professional Services list, from over 800 nominated organisations across Australia and New Zealand. The assessment measures a top innovation implemented in the past twelve months. Specifically, the judges look at how valuable the problem is that the innovation is solving, the quality and uniqueness of the solution, and the level of impact that the innovation has had. Inventium also assesses internal elements such as innovation culture, strategy, resources and process, which demonstrate a sustainable and repeatable approach to innovation.

Veritas embraces experimentation of new ideas, new technology and new ways of solving today's problems and encourages has a team culture that inspires idea creation.
"Veritas is humbled to receive recognition as one of Australia’s most innovative companies. We accept that national security and compliance are not industries that typically garner recognition for innovation and efficiency, this recognition acknowledges the many years of sustained efforts undertaken by our team to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve" Stephen Inouye, Managing Director, Veritas Group.
"We are thrilled to announce the first ever industry specific Most Innovative Companies List. What separated the most innovative organisations from the least, was the involvement of the customer the entire way through the innovation process. Leading innovators also had strong mechanisms in place to recognise the innovation efforts of their staff." Dr Amantha Imber, Founder, Inventium.
Previous overall winners include Xero, Planet Innovation, M&C Saatchi and GroundProbe.
