The first three modules of the programme, held in December, January and February respectively, included team building activities and management training workshops led by Eng. Amer Al Fadhil, Managing Director of Competence HR, who further outlined strategic projects that will extend throughout the duration of the 6-month programme. Having established rapport with their peers, the cadre further explored a range of project management and media management approaches with Eng. Bilal Abulzait, professional Project Management Consultant.

Commenting during the programme, Eng. Amer Al Fadhil said, “Oman has always prioritized the development of human resources, and in order to achieve various aspects of the national agenda this must remain a top priority as well as a point of pride.” “The modernisation of a government and the industries operating beneath it does not happen without a significant change in mind-set when it comes to emerging markets, and that is precisely what we aim to achieve through our refined programme. Motivation, enhanced skill sets, and an appetite for change will make all the difference. This is also something we have already seen in previous editions of the LDP,” he added.
