usiness Elite Canada spoke with Peter Brown and
Kari Lockhart, Co-Leaders of Deoitte’s Canada’s
BBest Managed Companies, recognizing excellence
in private Canadian-owned companies since 1993. Each
year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies undergo a
rigorous application process, but only the best are awarded
with this prestigious designation.
Q: Please give a brief background on the impetus to start this
program.
Peter: We have run this program for almost three decades.
The original impetus was to shine a light on great private
companies across Canada and to celebrate their success.
Since that time, we have refined the purpose of the program
to build a better tomorrow for all by celebrating Canada’s
Best Managed private companies, studying them, and
sharing best practices broadly to make all businesses better.
