Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
StrateSphere LLC, an Active Capital firm located in Columbus, Ohio recently completed its second executive education symposium in Rayadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
One of StrateSphere’s newest ventures, the Center for Executive Education, Development, and Excellence (CEEDE - www.ceede.org), recently completed its second executive education symposium in the Kingdom. The most recent symposium, focused on Strategic Management, was delivered by the world renowned Dr. Jay Barney, a Professor of Management and Human Resources at The Ohio State University.
Combined with the first symposium delivered in January 2009 on Corporate Governance, CEEDE has generated momentum in a region that is craving executive education and training in an effort to address human capital shortfalls that exist in the Kingdom. Upcoming symposiums that are either in development or already scheduled include IT Strategic Management, Negotiation and Conflict Management, Logistics and Supply Chain, Women in Business, Leadership, and Family Enterprising. CEEDE currently has relationships with several Universities and Colleges in the United States including The Ohio State University, Emory University, and Babson College.
"The executive education market in the Middle East is craving quality programs from world-class institutions," said Damon Caiazza, a partner with StrateSphere. "The pace of growth in the region has put a premium on educating executives and future leaders. The current demand cannot be met by the existing institutions in the region, nor do they (existing institutions) carry the same prestige and experience as elite U.S. business schools. For this reason, there is a tremendous opportunity for CEEDE to achieve rapid growth and success."
