The international project launched in March 2025 and implemented by the Georgian Railway Transport Agency is now approaching its conclusion. Throughout this initiative, the Agency enhanced its management practices, aligning them more closely with European Union standards. Leaners' partner Antanas Dubikaitis collaborated on this effort alongside fellow international consultants from Germany, contributing expert guidance and practical insights.

With the consultants' support, the agency’s leadership and staff explored the most effective ways to implement EU regulations in a real-world railway context. Participants also took part in targeted training sessions covering supervision of railway safety, train drivers’ licensing and certification, and transportation of dangerous goods.

“Although the project focused specifically on railway safety supervision, we naturally touched on broader elements of organisational management - many of which were new to our Georgian counterparts. We encouraged managers to visit front-line operations to see firsthand how value is created and supervisory processes happen on the ground. This approach not only uncovered areas for improvement but also helped define the skills and competencies needed for sustainable progress,” says Antanas Dubikaitis.

This initiative is part of a broader commitment by Leaners to international public sector excellence. Between 2018 and 2025, Leaners partners delivered management consulting services to 26 public sector institutions across 13 countries, in collaboration with international organisations such as the European Commission, the United Nations, and other donors.
