Corporate Social Responsibility in the GCC is evolving to meet the requirements of its changing socio-economic landscape.
Qatar plays a leading role in promoting social responsibility and has taken the lead in many areas of relevance. Qatar has shown growing interest on a global scale. Qatari companies have long understood their responsibilities to the local community and have consistently shown their support for activities that improve the lives and environment of the people of Qatar. Qatar's approach to sustainability is linked to the four pillars that underpin the Qatar National Vision 2030 and it is important to create a platform where more businesses can understand the benefits of CSR and foster partnerships with each other to drive results.
Although CSR is advanced in a few organisations, in many it's function, role and application isn't well understood.
The Summit will be a part of a series of CSR conferences run by IIR Middle East, with Summit's also held in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The event presents a timely and practical agenda, driven by experienced experts who will share a 'no-frills' insight into the challenges encountered and success stories implemented.

APM webinar sponsored by the South Wales and West of England Branch on 23 November 2021.
Speaker: David Hawkins
Projects by their very nature require many stakeholders to work together to deliver outcomes. The greater the level of collaboration the higher the probability of success. This webinar was held on 23 November 2021.
The impact of relationships and behaviours cannot be underestimated but often this is left to develop organically and can frequently be impacted by external influences directly or inadvertently. A structured approach to placing collaborative working as part of the project plan and execution can help enhance performance.

Mile Future Of Executive Development At The Muslim And Arab Worldmilemadinah
Â
This presentation highlights the immense leadership deficit that our region suffers from. It also demonstrates how our educational and training institutions, both at corporate and government levels, fall short in catering for the enormous leadership development requirements in the region. The presentation sheds the light on a new strategic initiative to establish a world-class executive and leadership development institution which aims at bridging this gap. The initiative aims at building local intellectual capital and is based on a sustainable business model that ensures sustainability and provision of high quality, affordable and relevant life-long development opportunities to our future business leaders. The Madinah Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (MILE) was initiated as one of Savola Groupâs CSR programs. MILE is a non-profit organization and will be established at the heart of the Arab and Muslim World at the Madinah Knowledge Economic City. MILEâs first pilot program which attracted more than 150 senior executives from 16 countries has provided a strong evidence of the viability of the proposed model.

Â
To view recording, watch the video at end of the slide or visit https://youtu.be/AlBVmA3u37g
Measuring innovation can be difficult. Some assume that innovation is more of an art form.

The webinar will provide valuable insights about these timely topics of performance management:
Webinar Topics
⢠The steps your organization can take to define what innovation means for your strategy
⢠The steps needed to design and implement a set of measures that will help you implement your strategy and achieve results
⢠Keys to monetizing innovation
⢠The critical factors for successfully introducing and managing strategic innovation

Unfortunately, there are many demands coming from âtime stealersâ who are, potentially, diverting you from using your time in the way you wish to use it.
The aim of this webinar is to provide you with a brief insight into the strategies, tools and techniques you can utilise to help you manage your time more effectively.

Many businessmen and women see contracts as legal documents, but a healthier approach is to see them as business documents which must be written the right way if they are to be legally enforceable. For many of us, therefore, leaving the contracts to the lawyers means that we miss an opportunity to have a contract which can be used as a working document which prevents problems with suppliers and customers. This webinar explains an approach which can be used to ensure that contracts prevent problems from occurring, or fully prescribe your rights and remedies should things go wrong.

The webinar covers the major business benefits management principles, practices and techniques that enable organisations to optimise the return from their investments in programmes and projects.
The Objectives Of This Webinar Are To Explain How To:
1. Relate the business case to business benefits
2. Differentiate between business KPIs vs Project KPIs
3. Establish a benefits management chart
4. Plan and prepare for organisational readiness
5. Plan to perform project transition and handover
6. Measure the realisation of business benefits
Business Benefits Realisation is about ensuring that programmes and projects deliver the forecasted benefits identified in a business case or project charter document. Obtaining an acceptable return on investment is critical, but many organisations struggle to demonstrate that their programmes and projects deliver the required business benefits.
Often there is confusion over what benefits are required, who should track them and how and what the effective measures should be. The explicit role of a project manager is to deliver the project to ensure the scope, schedule and budget components are satisfied. However the intrapreneurial and business-minded project manager is the one who is acutely aware of the business aspect of programmes and projects and truly understands the rationale driving their organisationâs investment strategy. This project manager provides true value.

Listening to many people, you would think that being first to market always guarantees success, but is that true?
The webinar presenter, James Graham, will take you through the evidence for and against this concept and show a simple assessment framework that you can use as part of your toolset when developing strategy.
At the end of the webinar, you will be able to look at the context, variables and constraints for each situation, making your own choice of whether you wish to take a âbleeding edgeâ, âleading edgeâ or âtrailing edgeâ position.
James is a consultant who specialises in the formulation and execution of strategy and he has worked in the region for over 10 years, assisting private and public sector organisations.

⢠Case study â when first mover advantage was successful

This webinar is designed as a practical guide to using the Balanced Scorecard.
The Balanced Scorecard is a system used extensively in business and industry, government, and non-profit organisations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organisation, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organisation
performance against strategic goals.
The Balanced Scorecard was originated by Drs Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton as a framework to help managers consider both financial and non-financial aspects of their business and design performance metrics around them.
While the phrase Balanced Scorecard was coined in the early 1990s, the roots of this type of approach are deep, and include the pioneering work of General Electric on performance measurement reporting in the 1950s and the work of French process engineers (who created the Tableau
de Bord â literally, a "dashboard" of performance measures) in the early part of the 20th century.

Major opportunities exist for operators and investors interested in expanding Higher Education institutions in the Middle East. Having the right information, data and analysis is vital to successful
development.
Parthenon Managing Director, Amit Garga, and Vice President, Danish Faruqui will conduct an extensive market overview of higher education in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The presentation will cover how
regions are growing and what types of universities are growing. They will also cover how growth varies by location, course offerings, and between expats and local students. They will also explore what the
drivers of growth in the region are and how they are expected to change in the coming years.
In particular, they will discuss how regulations and events like Expo 2020 have the potential to effect changes in growth in higher education and how to benefit from these changes. Danish and Amit can answer
questions on student preference and the qualities that are most preferred in an institution and opportunities for increasing international student enrolments. The presentation will be extremely data-driven
and built from Parthenon-EYâs recent market research and analysis across the region. The presentation will also contextualize how operators and investors can best apply these lessons to improve their
institutions or to decide how and where to invest.

Top management and the CEO decide on the goals and strategy of the organisation, but it is the staff who actually implement that strategy.
Most organisations struggle with the "cascade" of strategy from corporate level (Tier 1) to Unit / Department (Tier 2) and ultimately to the individual employee (Tier 3). If the employees are not aligned to the strategy, it is unlikely that the strategy will be successfully implemented.
To work effectively usually requires the close co-operation between the corporate strategy office and HR - because it is the HR Performance Management System that generally provides the process mechanism to align personal objectives/actions to the departmental (and ultimately, the organisational) strategy. That Strategy Office - HR interface is not always a strong relationship.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is synonymous with the State of Qatar. A nation
that gives to its people, community and the world at large has CSR as a national priority.
Core resource-led industries such as oil , gas, finance and utilities have led CSR initiatives
supported strongly by government institutions and Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)
initiatives. They are now regarded as models of CSR from which others wish to learn and
gain understanding as to how best to implement CSR within their organisations.

to its stakeholders and communities surrounding their
operations. The booming GCC markets are experiencing
the emergence of new companies, new publics and new
stakeholders that must be addressed by CSR directors.
Meanwhile, international companies are working to find

as the worldâs largest LNG supplier.
Shell has established a world-class research and development
facility and a learning centre, the Qatar Shell Research & Technology
Centre, at the Qatar Science & Technology Park. Shell has a financial
commitment to invest up to $100 million on programmes at the Centre
over a 10-year period.
In 2010, Shell and PetroChina signed an agreement to explore Block D.
QP and Shell are jointly developing a major petrochemicals complex
called Al Karaana in Ras Laffan Industrial City. In February 2013 they
awarded the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract to
complete the full scope and definition for the development of this
world class facility.
Be the leader of the sustainability
agenda that works for your organisation.
Ask yourself questions on how your
organisation can do good, rather than how
to be less bad.
