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.
