Our Corporate Identity Study;
We started our ‘Corporate Identity’ studies in June 2000, one year after our establishment, in order to identify our foundation with the correct criteria, to define our corporate culture, and to create a shared language and unity of meaning and we completed the study in July 2001. We have determined our vision and mission statements, shared values and goals through professional processes and workshops in which all our members participated and contributed.
In 2004, we needed a more comprehensive study on our shared values. We conducted a series of workshops to mature our shared language and to define and understand our shared values. The values and definitions expressed below are common definitions created with the participation of all our members.
In 2007, we organized a series of workshops to reconsider and realize our goals by making the current situation SWOT analysis and evaluation.
