In addition, he emphasized the importance of understanding the situation and developing a clear plan of action during difficult times. During the training, N.Hajiyev invited the participants to build a business model in accordance with the company’s strategy.

A practical exercise was then presented to help participants understand the strategy implementation framework. One of the main topics covered during the training was the consistency of work with strategy and the design thinking approach.

The training concluded with a mutual discussion and a question and answer session.
