The training sessions organized as part of the second stage of the “Best Managed Companies Azerbaijan 2026” competition, sponsored by PASHA Bank, have been successfully concluded.
At this stage, participating companies had the opportunity to work closely with experts from Deloitte and PASHA Bank to conduct a deeper analysis of their business models, identify their strengths, and more precisely define their development directions. The sessions were conducted through interactive discussions and practical approaches.
During the meetings, companies presented their operations across four key criteria: strategy, governance and organizational capabilities, innovation and culture, and financial performance. Innovative approaches based on both local and international best practices were shared, fostering a value-driven and engaging discussion environment. In addition, topics such as the sustainability of financial performance, talent attraction and development, and sustainable business initiatives were explored.
The sessions also served as an important platform for companies to gain exposure to international best practices and further strengthen their management capabilities.
It should be noted that the “Best Managed Companies Azerbaijan” program aims to identify leading companies in the country and support their sustainable development.
