For the Private Sector

KFAS provides a number of programs for the private sector that aims to develop human capital and research within enterprises. We fund research and seminars that help identify obstacles and devise solutions to Kuwait’s economic challenges, we offer capacity-building innovation training programs for private sector employees and we facilitate collaboration with international institutions to enhance business development and research to further transform Kuwait’s economy into a knowledge-based economy.

Investing in human capital is at the core of KFAS mission, hence, we provide a number of capacity-building training programs for the private sector locally and internationally. These programs aim to promote a culture of innovation in business. Our partnerships with international training institutes and universities include Harvard and UC Berkeley.

Navigating Change: Decision-Making, Negotiation and Adaptive Leadership Strategies  

Sunday, June 9th – Friday, June 14th, 2019 – Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Program Brief

In daily decisions, we all operate from a certain set of assumptions by which we move forward our objectives and aims. Whether we know it or not, we are often guided by our decision-making, negotiation, and leadership skills and tactics built in the past, and often by instinct.  However, times of great change and consequent conflict demand enlightened leadership.

In short, managers and leaders are encountering arenas in which authority is more diffuse, issues are more complex, and knowledge, collaborative processes and negotiation skills to arrive at better solutions are more important than ever. These dynamics require an openness to new thinking to face an increasingly complex tapestry of economic, political, and social challenges in response to rapidly accelerating changes.
