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-EY’s 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.

Time Management: Productivity and Time StealersAli Zeeshan
Some say there is nothing more precious than time so, as with all things that are precious to us, we should not waste it!
A poor use of time can lead to issues with: your personal finances and your long-term career aspirations; relationship problems at home; and/or health problems brought on by stress and anxiety.
Unfortunately, there are many demands coming from ‘time stealers’ who are, potentially, diverting you from using your time in the way you wish to use it.

The TNE landscape is a complex one, with multiple stakeholders, each having different perceptions, expectations and motivations. Differing starting points and expectations have spawned a vibrant and diverse range of engagement models. Some have been more successful than others, but all have contributed to the rich fabric of international higher education and in most cases benefitted their stakeholders either directly or indirectly. For institutions looking to enter into or reassess their existing TNE arrangements, understanding stakeholder attitudes and how their context is reshaping perspectives is critical to ensuring a program’s viability. It is now more important than ever to ensure that TNE programs are aligned, not just to the strategic goals of the foreign degree provider, but also the needs of the stakeholders in the hosting country. This presentation explores stakeholder attitudes to TNE utilising the most recent research and market based insights.

The old model of front-loading education early in life needs to give way to lifelong learning.

Webinar: Measuring And Monetizing Strategic Innovation Ali Zeeshan
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. Or they realize that “innovation” is a word that means different things to different people, and so assume that it cannot be measured. This is unfortunate, because managing both innovation and measurement are critical to the successful execution of strategy and monetizing (or deriving tangible benefits from) your innovation efforts.
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
• How to develop and maintain a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship

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 organisation’s 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 ‘bleeding edge’, ‘leading edge’ or ‘trailing edge’ 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.
During the webinar, James will cover the specific points below and also answer questions that arise.
• Background and context – what is ‘first mover advantage?’
• Case study – when first mover advantage was successful
• Case study – when being first was a failure
• Conclusion on case studies
• A framework to assess what position to take
• Q&A

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 – literally, a "dashboard" of performance measures) in the early part of the 20th century.
About the Presenter:

Webinar: Aligning the Employee to the Strategy of the OrganisationAli Zeeshan

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.
About the Presenter:

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Commentary
• “English as the language of instruction
has gained popularity with both students
and employers. Private universities have
a higher percent of expatriate teachers,
which ensures students get exposure to
English. This has been one of the key
success factors for private universities
here”
• “Compared to Saudi nationals, expatriate
teachers perform better. Hence a number
of private universities employ expatriate
teachers
