Four technology companies made it on Deloitte’s latest Best Managed Companies list.
The 25th annual list, released yesterday, which represents the leading privately-owned Canadian companies with revenues over $15 million, reflects a growing trend of globalization, according to Deloitte.
“This year’s Best Managed companies are pushing the envelope and making bold decisions that accelerate their engagement in the global economy to further drive competitive advantage,” said Dino Medves, senior vice-president and head of commercial banking for CIBC, a long-standing sponsor of the program.
This year’s list of companies also placed a greater focus on diversity and building a team culture, said Lorrie King, national co-leader of Canada’s Best Managed Companies program and partner, Deloitte Private. “Best Managed companies truly and authentically recognize the significance of their people – and acknowledge that their people help differentiate them from their competitors in the marketplace.”
According to Deloitte, 2018 winners are characterized by “being clear on purpose and vision, building toward a foundation of delivery excellence, and committed to their workforce.”
