The conference itself was very
well attended with over 2,000 attendees, exhibitors and visitors. The theme of
CERTX 2017 was on relevant Vocational Qualifications within the work
environment. Almost exclusively this took on a “people orientated” focus. So
Oakwood was able to advise on our comprehensive raft of CIPD qualifications at
Foundation and Intermediate Levels. We were very well-received.
Oakwood was also invited to run a
workshop on HR/HRD, Management and Marketing accredited qualifications. Our
workshop achieved the highest number of participants. This proved to be a
lively session with a great deal of the time discussing Leadership – an
everyday and essential topic in The Kingdom, indeed throughout the world. Some
controversial interventions led to varied views and no real outcome. However
the Workshop Seminar did consider that Management was at least as important as
Leadership. Not everyone agreed!
This was a great Conference and Oakwood was able to see and meet a number of existing and new clients – as well as start to form new relationships with businesses and organisations in The Kingdom. There are significant opportunities – which present equally important challenges – to be resolved in the region. The “Vision 2030” paper sets these out clearly. Oakwood stands ready to help in any way possible. It would be our privilege and honour to assist the people and businesses in Saudi Arabia achieve their full potential.
Contact Oakwood to discuss how our CIPD qualification programmes can help your organisation. We are also very happy to discuss consultancy or bespoke programmes to help your HR, L&D and senior management teams.
