Our graduates began their careers at Turkey’s leading corporations. Our mentorship program was renewed and achieved even more success. Our scholars and the Deloitte volunteers set up the groundwork for the social responsibility project that they are planning to launch together under the name of “Dreams into Reality.” With our philosophy of “Preparing for Life,” the Deloitte Education Foundation has offered our scholarship students training programs and internship opportunities in many different fields and these students have further been supported through their participation in international student exchange programs… Thanks to the sponsorship of one of our supporters who set up a special donation fund in 2014, we also started offering scholarships to students studying in different branches of art and science. This innovation, as well as the various talents who joined the ranks of our scholarship students, have strengthened the scope of our scholarship program. Another innovative step that we launched to make a difference this year was the support we gave to our scholars in the field of culture and arts. We plan to turn our art related activities into a tradition and with this objective in mind, we brought our scholarship students and our mentors together and organized meetings to give our scholars the chance to meet successful artists and performers. We designed our “Dreams into Reality” social responsibility project based on the ideas of our scholars. We planned the project as a team with our scholars, our mentors and a group of Deloitte volunteers, and started to work on it with the aim of launching it in 2015. We took small but effective steps to achieve this goal. Our aim is to raise social responsibility awareness with new projects every year, moving forward as we make our contributions to the community we live in… The feedback we have been receiving about the activities of our Foundation fills us with pride and enhances our motivation to do more. We are confident that every little contribution we make to education in Turkey with our activities is significant and as we see the achievements of our scholars, we continue to go on working with even more excitement with each passing day. In this annual report for 2014, which presents a summary of our activities over the year, we hope that all of our stakeholders supporting the Deloitte Education Foundation share our excitement and happiness.

With our Mentorship Program, each scholar is assigned a mentor from among Deloitte Turkey Executives, and our mentors come together with each student to prepare them for the future by contributing to the scholar’s personal and professional development. Acting with one of our most significant value of “Giving back to Community what the Community has Given Us”, we place utmost importance on the matter of investing in our scholars’ future. The Deloitte Education Foundation works continuously with each scholarship student through its mentors, supporting the student from the students’ first day at the university until their graduation. 12 Training Programs Training Programs Organized for Our Scholars The purpose of these training programs, carried out at interactive sessions by the instructors, who are all experts in their respective fields, is to contribute to personal development, help students develop their communication skills in social settings, prepare themselves for the competitive environment which they will encounter in business, plan their careers and determine their priorities. In 2014, the Deloitte Education Foundation organized training sessions in the topics listed below. In addition, in 2014, the decision was made to start a Conversation Club in Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir, where a native English language-speaking instructor conducts Conversational English sessions for our scholarship students.

This program was initiated to provide successful university students with internship opportunities that will help them to achieve their career goals. The program makes a contribution by supporting career planning with the right guidance. Its objective is to prepare students for professional life by helping them to develop their competencies through various activities and teamwork. A defined number of students that are successful in the program have been recruited into the Global Internship Program. The requirements for being a student in this program are being a 3rd or 4th year or Graduate student at a University Engineering or Economics and Administrative Sciences Department, having advanced proficiency in written and verbal English, being a successful team worker, having leadership qualities and career goals on an international level. The Global Internship Program (GIP) was held for a period of about 4 weeks in July 2014. To be selected for the Program, students were asked to apply directly to the Deloitte office in the city the student lived in. Three students, one of them a scholarship student, completed their internships at the Deloitte Madrid office. The Global Internship Program (GIP) gives students the chance to serve as an intern at Deloitte offices in different countries around the world. The Global Internship Program offers a unique international experience. For the course of the program, students find the opportunity to work in a team with Deloitte professionals, observe real examples of business with real customers, enjoy being a part of an exclusive group, establish an international network of communication, and gain some corporate experience, to name a few of the Program’s benefits. “noticeD was a very challenging elimination process. A few weeks after applying, we learned that we were being invited to the exam. On the day of the exam, we were more than one hundred people and everybody was excited. This was an exam where we had to answer a lot of questions in a limited time and where our English, Turkish and Mathematics skills were to be tested. The fifty people who passed this test were invited for a case study. Ten teams of 5 in a group were asked to understand and solve the customer’s problem in a period of one-and-a-half hours and to present a presentation at the end. To be successful at this stage, you had to be systematic and fast, you had to be able to convince your teammates but respect their views when necessary. In short, it was very important to be able to form a team with people that you had just met. After that, we were asked to join a second case study that was almost the same as the first. The difference was that the groups were made up of 3 people each. This stage was more challenging because this time, your colleagues in the group were people who had passed the first case study and were thus more skilled and ambitious. Everyone wanted to have more of a say than the others and stick out in the group. Even so, my group and I were successful in task division and we made a very successful presentation. At the end of this very entertaining process, which was full of challenges, I was chosen to be one of 3 persons to be accepted as an intern at the Deloitte Madrid Office for the month of July 2014. My knowledge of Spanish and my interest in Spain made this experience much more meaningful for me. I thank Deloitte for giving me such an opportunity.” Emre Özdemir, Sabancı University, Graduate in Industrial Engineering Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 19 Internship Deloitte Education Foundation provides scholars with internship opportunities in different business units. At Deloitte Turkey our scholars enjoy the opportunity of completing a long- or short-term internship in the area of their interest, working with more than 1400 Deloitte Turkey employees in Audit, Tax, Consulting, Enterprise Risk Services and Financial Advisory Services. Deloitte Education Foundation scholars are given a priority at internships within Deloitte Turkey or if they choose to, they are offered the opportunity to intern at other companies within Deloitte’s professional business network. Ömür Sarı, Boğaziçi University, Economics Department, 4th year “In 2014, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at Deloitte from the beginning of August to the end of November. I gained experience working with the Enterprise Risk Services – ERS team on various projects covering many topics. The friendliness of the Deloitte employees made it very easy for me to adapt and at the same time, the professional working environment gave me the chance to make a lot of observations about business life in a short while. I observed that the people at Deloitte work in a dynamic atmosphere of continuous development and this was one of the most important factors that made me think that I would like to work at Deloitte in the future. I think that the chance to do research for new projects, work with different companies, be in one-on-one contact with many different people was a huge opportunity for me.” Ömür Sarı, Boğaziçi University, Department of Economics, 4th year “My internship experience at the Deloitte Consulting was wonderful in every way. Besides the great opportunity to spend some delightful times with an outstanding team, I had the chance to observe the professional world from up close and learn from the experience of others. Despite the rapid pace, right now I am feeling really sorry that my internship has ended. This is something I can recommend to everyone during their university years and I thank the Deloitte Family for giving me this privilege. I also owe a word of thanks to everyone in the team who supported me in every way; I’m going to miss them.” Mazhar Çavdar, Boğaziçi University, Department of Business Administration, 4th year 20 “Throughout the time I was an intern at Deloitte, I continued with my studies, at the same time I got the chance to observe business processes very closely. The friendly working atmosphere and the interest everyone showed in me made me feel so much like one of the team. The responsibilities I took on and the projects I was a part of were very solid steps that I took toward my personal development and my future career.” Uğur Sezgin, Istanbul Technical University, Department of Business Engineering, 3rd year “My internship was with the Deloitte Consulting Energy Team. Everyone in the team included me in their projects. Even when I couldn’t be of much help to them, they did everything they could to help me learn about the sector and about consulting services. They allowed me to develop myself by using examples to explain the work they had assigned me. All of this was very useful in turning my theoretical knowledge into practical application. They assigned me responsibilities at a very early stage and used the numerical data and intellectual contributions I made to the projects. My internship at Deloitte Consulting gave me self-confidence, knowledge and experience.” Onur Çörtük, Sabancı University, Department of Engineering and Natural Sciences, 3rd year “I did my internship at Deloitte Turkey’s Enterprise Risk Services over the months of June-July 2014. Because I was part of an intern group at the company, we had a good chance of being able to participate in group work. In this context, I was able to contribute to a lot of group projects during my internship and there were also projects that I completed on my own. All of this was beneficial to me in terms of understanding the company’s business model and its rules and regulations. Over the course of my internship, I worked in areas where corporate customers were being offered services. First of all, I was given a short period of training so that I could get a picture in my mind and orient myself with the general operation of the business unit I was interning in. During this time, I learned about which potential risks a company could generally encounter and also about the anti-risk services my company provided. Starting from the second week, I had the opportunity to work on the field with the company’s senior consultants and managers in three different areas. Everyone on the field was very cordial towards me while they taught me the work, helped me when I encountered a problem and answered my questions. At the end of my internship, I was immensely pleased with my performance during my time there. When I look back, I’m aware that I’ve gathered some very important experience about corporate relations and business life. Another important experience I had was that I learned about forming strong relationships with many people in many different positions. ” Cemil Dibek, Boğaziçi University, Department of Mathematical Engineering, 4th year Cemil Dibek, Boğaziçi University, Mathematical Engineering, 4th year Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 21 Student exchange programs The achievements of many of our students earn them the eligibility to participate in international student exchange programs. We, at the Deloitte Education Foundation, support our scholar’s participation in these programs. “While I was dreaming of Erasmus, all of a sudden I found myself in a beautiful green little corner along the Atlantic coast of Spain—at Santiago de Compostela University. This is Europe’s first university and its campus is just full of history. The city itself is a museum! I looked around hoping to find someone who could speak English and was pleasantly mistaken because almost everyone knew English there and these pleasant people had such sparkling eyes that all language barriers just fell away. With a Mexican roommate and my Spanish lessons, I felt a bit challenged but I progressed in Spanish in the most entertaining way possible. Then, before I knew it, this most colorful page of my life had closed. Now, when I go to Argentina, I know that I will have people waiting for me—my friends. I will be giving presents to them of Turkish coffee and lokum. And they will insist that I look at their fortunes in their coffee cups! And when I go to Mexico I will not have a hard time trying to eat their spicy candies because I know what to expect. England, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Poland, Indonesia, Columbia! I learned something about each place and I’m sure I taught all of them something about Turkey and the Turks. I also came across prejudiced people there, but the ideas of my friend who asked me as soon as we were introduced about whether Turkey was in Asia or Africa have certainly changed now. My roommate Aleida now can’t have breakfast without her bergamot-flavored tea. All of them learned to say “Merhaba!” and we learned how to say “Merhaba!” in all of their languages. If you’re reading this, my friend, and if you’re thinking about Erasmus, I would tell you to go without giving it a second thought. There will be hundreds of memories that you will never forget, you will leave tearyeyed friends telling you how they’ll miss you and hoping that you’ll meet again and you’ll say to yourself, ‘Where did the time go? We were just getting started…” And as you start on your way home, you’ll just say, ‘Adios!!!’ “ Özlem Yaşaroğlu, Dokuz Eylül University, Department of Industrial Engineering, 3rd year 22 “I went to Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Brussels with the Erasmus exchange program for a semester, taking some time off from my studies at Boğaziçi University during the spring semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. When you say Erasmus, everybody has different ideas and everyone has a different plan. My idea was that the Erasmus experience had only one purpose and that was to explore. Explore different cultures, people, different geographies. Setting sail for different ports is in one sense, leaving your center, moving away from your comfort zone. Because exploration requires a lot of effort. That’s why I can say that over this period, whether it was academically or for my classes, spotting the differences in the places I traveled took a lot of work. I worked to explore, to get acquainted, to understand. All through the period, the thing I focused on the most was getting to know people. I made friends with people from the four corners of Europe, I tried to understand their culture and I observed people. The outcome of all of this was that I gained a brand new perspective. I also collected a lot of wonderful memories and souvenirs—in my mind, in photographs and in my notebook. I also experienced what an entertaining, exhilarating thing it was to watch the World Cup with such an international group of friends. Throughout the Erasmus period, I travelled to 20 cities in 12 countries, from Spain to Serbia, from Amsterdam to Rome. You don’t need money to travel, just life energy and time. I observed how meaningless borders are. These travels served to get me to cross the borders of my mind. This was sometimes with an Inter-rail ticket, sometimes with a Ryan Air flight that took off before the birds started to chirp, and sometimes by bus—always in the most economical way. At one point, we were saved at the last minute from a traffic accident with an Italian in Belgrade; at another, we went through three terminals with our Turkish friends to be able to watch the Championship games at the airport. Every weekend and every holiday was a travel experience for me. I’ve been on the road for about one-and-a-half months now. When I looked at the map to see where I had been, I was amazed. I thought I had traveled over the borders, but I realized that I had been trapped in Europe. The first thing I do after Erasmus will be to travel east—to India, to Malaysia, to China and Latin America. We are only at the beginning of our exploration. I had put the academic side of Erasmus aside. Because I couldn’t find appropriate undergraduate courses in English, the graduate finance classes that I took made me change my perspective on the financial world. Since I came from a school that approached economics from the perspective of the American tradition, I was enlightened about finance. Living in Brussels was also an experience in terms of experiencing the proximity of the organizations of the European Union. I got the opportunity to become acquainted with the European Union and many international organizations. I tried to participate in the activities, projects and visits organized by our school and the student club in the city. I visited the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice and I found myself talking in Turkish with the former Belgian Consulate-General of Belgium, Thomas ANTOINE, at a reception he hosted for our group at the Luxembourg Embassy. We talked about what I experienced 4 years ago when I applied for and was denied a Belgian visa to use on the Interrail. This experience in that 5-month period was something I will remember all my life. I learned a lot, I shared and I accumulated my experiences. If there’s anybody reading this now that can relate to my explorations and stories, I would definitely recommend participating in such an exchange program. Seeing and experiencing for oneself is such a unique life lesson that it cannot be put into writing or described fully. Oğuzhan Mailmail, Boğaziçi University, Department of Economics, 3rd year Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 23 Projects The Social Responsibility Project, “Dreams into Reality” We are launching a social responsibility project in the 2014-2015 academic year that aims to acquaint our country’s youth with various activities in the arts and in sports and train them in these fields. As part of this project, our 25th Year Library at Bağcılar Atatürk Primary School is hosting weekend workshops after which we will be organizing joint performances. Our scholarship students, mentors and Deloitte employees have volunteered to serve as instructors in this project. These volunteers have formed project committees to share their experiences with young people who have an interest in arts, sports and other areas. Some of these committees include the Art, Music, Handicrafts, Juggling, Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Chess and Zumba project groups. The 25th Year Library At present, 1000 primary school students benefit from the library we established in 2011 at the Bağcılar Atatürk Primary School. We organize an Art Contest each year during Library Week, topped off by an awards ceremony. This year, the theme of our art contest, which was held on March 26, was “The Library of Tomorrow.” 24 1.

Sudenaz Balcı 2-J Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 25 Activities To support the social and cultural development of our scholars, we organized activities in culture and the arts over the 2014-2015 academic year; these theater events or concerts were held at least once every two months, on either the 3rd or 4th Friday of the month. On the second Saturday of every month since the beginning of 2015, we arrange discussion panels with guest speakers from the world of business, the arts and other areas of interest. Theater On Friday, December 19, our mentors and Deloitte employees watched a performance of Diary of a Madman by Genco Erkal at the Kenter Theater. Sports Events We also support our scholarship students in their quest for healthy living and strive to enlist the joint contributions of our scholars and their mentors. At the same time, we announce our events to Deloitte employees. This past period, our scholars, mentors and Deloitte employees all participated in two track events—the New Balance Büyükada Race on November 2 and the Eurasia Marathon on November 16. 26 2014 Graduates The Thoughts of our Graduates “My acquaintance with the Deloitte Education Foundation started in 2009 in my first year at Boğaziçi University. In the five years before I graduated, the Deloitte Education Foundation contributed a lot to both my career and to my personal development and human relations skills. First of all, as a Deloitte Education Foundation scholar I got the opportunity to work as an intern at such a big and well-established corporation as Deloitte. During my internship, I experienced the chance to meet different people and learn from the professionals I met and in this way, I was continuously able to invest in myself in that period. At this point, I have to say that the advice I received as a part of the mentorship system that the Deloitte Education Foundation uses to contribute to the development of its scholars at every stage guided me throughout the entire process. Particularly in the year I was graduating, with the experience and professionalism that was shared with me, I was able to eliminate the question marks I had in my mind about the future and what I wanted to do. In my mind, the Deloitte Education Foundation scholarship is very different from other scholarships and the opportunities that make it more valuable than the others are the mentorship system and the training. I won’t be shy about talking in detail about what receiving a scholarship from the Deloitte Education Foundation did for me. There are one or two things that stand out. The first of these is the frequent training sessions offered, each one different. My vision expanded every time I participated in a session. This training aims to help you know yourself well and so each time, I felt more aware and more in charge of my personality. The second and to me, the more important thing the Deloitte Education Foundation’s scholarship contributed, was the moral support it gave me. Although I’m studying Industrial Engineering, I’ve always wanted Mathematics to be a part of my life as well. I started a double-major in my university and I have to say that my achievement in completing both of the majors is a product of the self-confidence the Deloitte Education Foundation scholarship gave me. It was the financial aid, and more than that, the moral support that the Deloitte Education Foundation gave me that allowed me to focus on my studies without having to worry about finances. When I look back and see what I have achieved, I feel happy and I smile and thank the Deloitte Education Foundation for their share in this happiness.” Cemil Dibek, Boğaziçi University, Industrial Engineering Graduate Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 27 “I joined the Deloitte Education Foundation Family in 2009. For 5 years, they have given me great moral support in addition to the scholarship I received. I’m very happy to be a member of this family. Thank you for being at my side throughout my education and for providing me with this moral support.” Betül Gereç, Galatasaray University, Industrial Engineering Graduate “For 5 years, I’ve felt like a welcomed member of the Deloitte Education Foundation Family; it’s been a wonderful 5 years and it was sad to leave…” Birgül Öksüz, Galatasaray University, Business Administration Graduate “It was wonderful to be a part of the Deloitte Education Foundation Family; we had a very pleasant 5 years together. I always felt welcomed, not only as a scholarship student but as a member of the family. They contributed greatly to my professional development. I see the Deloitte Education Foundation as a school that prepares you for business life. Thank you for everything…” Pınar Topal, Middle East Technical University, Business Administration Graduate 28 “I joined the Deloitte Education Foundation Family when I started at the university in 2009. At that time, even though I had chosen my own field, I didn’t know anything about the future. Now that I’ve graduated, I feel that I have developed and become self-confident. For this, I have to thank the Deloitte Education Foundation.” İsmail Deha Şevik, Istanbul Technical University, Industrial Engineering Graduate “The 5 years I spent at the Deloitte Education Foundation were very pleasant. The training, the mentorship program—all of it was so beneficial. Thank you for the past 5 years.” Engin Aslan, Marmara University, Computer Engineering Graduate “I graduated from school but I’m not leaving the Deloitte Education Foundation. My advice to new students is for them to always continue their relations with their mentors.” Mustafa Gök, Istanbul University, Business Administration Graduate Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 29 “I would recommend that the new scholars remain in close contact with their mentors and receive career advice from them.” Batuhan Özen, Galatasaray University, Business Administration Graduate “Being a part of the Deloitte Education Foundation Family for 4 years was a huge privilege. Not only in terms of financial aid but also because of the many opportunities it provided us in our personal development.

To carry organizations ahead, there is a need for effective leaders at every level and this is a requirement that is as basic as a human need for water. Since 2007, the Deloitte Educational Foundation has worked to support deserving young people who represent Turkey’s future with financial aid and moral support, seeking to become an exemplary pioneer in the business community in this respect. It was with this in mind that the Deloitte Leadership Institute was founded. Our objective is to make a modest contribution to enhancing the impact of meaningful and effective leadership. Our Leadership Progress Philosophy Leadership training can be measured by the impact it leaves upon the individual. What kind of outcomes do individuals expect to achieve from leadership training in the short term? What are the factors that make progress in leadership more meaningful and lasting? While the mental change that a person can achieve has a long-term and permanent impact, the development of leadership skills and the use of leadership tools are not by themselves enough to create a lasting effect. In other words, after many sessions of training, small changes that can be seen in participants may not necessarily be predictors of fundamental and radical change and development. It is for this reason that education is useful, meaningful and permanent only to the extent that it can effect change in the individual’s mental construct. Leadership Exploration Program Against the backdrop of the increasing complexity of markets, competitive struggles, and constricting profit margins, one of the difficulties today’s business world faces is to reach short- and long-term goals without losing vital human resources. Another difficulty is trying to solve the daily problems that arise from the fragility of attempts to achieve rapid and sustainable growth. The “Leadership Exploration Program” that the Deloitte Leadership Institute has devised in this context was designed specifically for managers. This training program consists of 3 main parts. The initial part is “Leading Oneself,” which is followed by “Leading Others,” and lastly by “Leading the Organization,” a guide to managing and changing the system of which we are a part. 38 1. Leading Oneself Experiencing leadership begins with knowing oneself and others. And which is harder, takes more time and comes at a price? Above all, how much does one really know about oneself? The place and importance of a personal history in one’s life Everyone has gained experience in one area or another, whether the individual is aware of it or not. Then how much is an individual aware of his/ her own experience, how this has affected his/ her life? Where do the skills of decision-making, understanding, judgment and assessment come from? What are the real reasons behind one’s behavior? In this course, the individual draws up a life map to answer these questions and, drawing from the stories of the lives of the other persons in the group, returns back to his/her life, again and again, taking a different route each time. Anyone who claims that decisions are made out of free will is going to question this wisdom after taking this course. An individual makes countless decisions in a single day, selecting “the best” among the different choices. Is it really the individual who’s making the decision? People generally decide on whom to talk with about a subject and then believe in the end that it was they themselves who arrived at the decision. Is this true? What about the psychological factors that impacted a person before, much before, his/ her decision? In other words, is the color of the clouds blue or grey? Who talks to whom and how? What other choices are there? All of these questions become more meaningful in this course. Is it enough for an individual to understand him/herself? What if he/she cannot explain him/ herself? Everyone finds an opportunity to explain him/herself, or at least to “hear him/herself.” Individuals will be inspired by others to redefine themselves and also their “real” needs and focus points. The individual here confronts his/her own values, understands blind spots that resist personal change and reviews alternatives that will more easily support life goals. Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 39 40 2. Leading Others 3. Leading the Organization What is the difference between managing “Me” and managing “You”? Change is the only thing in life that doesn’t change. Everything that happens around us happens because of multiple reasons. In this part of the training, individuals determine the difference between being people sharing the same office and being a team that exhibits dynamic and superior performance. They also learn how they can affect others, how they can use their “strengths” in their relations with others and what methods and approaches they can use. Can a team become strong without enjoying the differences between each and every member of that team? The individual will see how the corporate culture affects individuals and teams and how this culture can be changed or developed. The roles that are needed, the stages of becoming a team, the factors that lead to the failure of a team are reviewed. The individual will analyze the rights and the wrongs of the present situation and learn practical tools to use in generating new choices and assessing the work of the team, also about how to make team meetings more productive. There may be many choices to choose from. Which one is the most important? What percentage of in-house meetings is really productive? How many people say over the course of a year, “I was glad I went to that meeting, I learned a lot, it was productive, we made a good decision and I contributed to the decision-making”? In this course, participants will evaluate the reasons for an organization’s lack of productivity and find out how to overcome the adversities. They will experience for themselves how teams interact and how they can transition from taking sides and engaging in power struggles to centering on the topic at hand. •Which values and beliefs of yours can make you a successful leader? •What has happened to leadership as it goes through a transformation in this challenging economic period? •How do you transform you own adaptation skills and imbalances into leadership? •Do you believe your passion and excitement has an impact on others? •If you can deal with the answers to all of these questions, do you think the members of your team can too? How can the chaos of the global environment be organized so that healthy decisions can be made? How can we organize information? In this day and age when information is abundant and analysis is easy, how can we create a rhythm and depth that will push us up ahead of the others? They’ve told you that strategy is a science and an art… But is there a practical outcome of this definition? Will that outcome be of use to us? Are the reasons a Roman legionary in the ancient world and a soldier in Iraq stayed alive dependent on the same dynamics? When exactly does strength turn into weakness? What are patterns? How can the structure of a system be analyzed? What is factor analysis? What are the elements in making a systematic assessment? Which methods save us from only analyzing and ensure that the other members of the team agree? What does our eco-system provide for the manager and for employees and how? How does one adapt to the system, how can the system be managed in the desired direction? What does looking at an organization “systematically” mean? Training: to regard the concept of strategy not as a qualifier but as a matter of content; not to just talk about something but to put strategic thinking into play and carry it into the organization; not to just say that it is possible to create a new business model but to do it; to make sure that people who want to initiate a change can do so by using integrated strategic thinking to create sustainable effectiveness in management processes and by striving for productivity. A methodology that joins passivity with motivation, ties what is planned to what is achieved, finding the optimum overlapping point of opposites, knowing that it is possible to create a strategic model that encompasses all stakeholders. An approach that goes beyond the limits of what information and analysis dictate, offering practical solutions through case analysis, a workshop that aims to bring out the striking potential of awareness… Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 41 Deloitte Eğitim Vakfı and its subsidiary Convenience Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 and the Independent Auditor's Report (originally issued in Turkish) 42 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 43 44 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 45 46 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 47 48 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 49 50 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 51 52 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 53 54 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 55 56 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 57 58 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 59 60 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 61 62 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 63 64 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 65 66 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 67 68 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 69 70 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 71 72 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 73 74 Deloitte Education Foundation Annual Report 2014 75 Deloitte Education Foundation Deloitte Values House Maslak No1 34398 İstanbul T: +90 212 366 6600 F: +90 212 366 6089 info@deloitteegitimvakfi.org.tr www.deloitteegitimvakfi.org.tr
