Seminar in Azerbaijan (Gabala)

About the event

Four days of strategic work

A small group of large-business owners steps out of the operational flow to examine their companies through the AVDO methodology in the secluded setting of a mountain retreat — from maturity diagnostics to structural reorganization.

By the end, each participant has an understanding of their company’s state, the next maturity level and a concrete transition plan.
