Our client is a global specialist in multiple asset classes, including stocks, bonds, derivatives, currencies, real estate and raw materials. The company manages financial asset accounts throughout their lifecycle across all countries where investments are made.
With operations spanning various international markets, our client required an advanced cultural training programme tailored to working with Saudi Arabia. Rather than an introductory course, participants needed a deeper understanding of local business practices, cultural norms and effective communication strategies to navigate complex interactions successfully.
We designed and delivered an advanced programme titled ‘Working with Saudi Arabia’, a comprehensive training initiative conducted over five half-day online sessions. A total of 80 participants attended the programme, benefiting from expert-led training focused on practical applications and interactive exercises.
We ensured that the programme was structured to accommodate the client’s global team, ensuring accessibility and engagement through virtual delivery. The sessions combined expert-led discussions, breakout exercises and participant polling to reinforce learning in a dynamic and practical manner.
The programme participants reported significant improvements in their understanding of Saudi business etiquette, relationship-building techniques and communication strategies, and the interactive nature of the training allowed them to apply their learnings immediately, resulting in enhanced confidence when engaging with Saudi stakeholders.
Moreover, the client observed more effective collaboration between teams working within the Saudi market, as well as a noticeable improvement in their ability to navigate complex business interactions with cultural awareness and sensitivity.
We continue to support many clients in their global training initiatives, ensuring their teams are equipped with the cultural knowledge and communication skills needed for international success.
