As organizations across the world grapple with rapidly changing internal and external challenges, it is imperative for business leaders to prepare themselves to thrive within this dynamic context. According to Ashridge, Saudi businesses are not immune to these global challenges; and it is not only important to formulate strategies for success but also plan to effectively implement them. Ashridge is delivering a three-day executive program on Translating Strategy into Action for Saudi managers and leaders from 2nd to 4th May 2017 at its campus in Dubai. Ashridge can also customize the program as an in-company option to address the organization’s specific challenges.

Ashridge Executive Education has over 20 years experience in developing business leaders in the Middle East. Ashridge’s Translating Strategy into Action program is designed to equip senior Saudi managers and business leaders with the right set of skills and knowledge required to effectively implement strategy in order to help their organizations thrive in challenging times.

“Research has shown that even customized strategies supported by major communication efforts will not have an impact unless business leaders follow a robust execution process,” said Rory Hendrikz, Managing Director of Ashridge Middle East. “This program is tailored to address specific challenges faced by Saudi businesses. After completing this program, leaders are equipped to effectively lead their teams, work with colleagues, and create an impact in their organizations.”

Assisted by key Ashridge faculty, participants will learn a wide range of topics including the requirements of successful execution, working with goals, working with accountability, securing commitment of team members and managing the change program in their organizations.
