Some markets reward speed. Others reward certainty. The Middle East rewards intent. So before expanding into the region, it’s worth pausing to ask: ◾ Are we showing up to transact… or to commit? ◾ Are we adapting our operating model… or just our pitch? ◾ When momentum slows, do we apply pressure or deepen relationships? ◾ Do we have leadership presence that builds confidence… or governance structures that only work on paper? ◾ Are we prepared for partnerships that evolve over years, not quarters? Because here, progress is rarely linear, but credibility is always cumulative. If you’re navigating this journey and want on-the-ground support, our team brings decades of experience and relationships delivering across the Middle East. Always happy to connect. #gcc #boardroom #perspective #executiveleadership #middleeastbusiness

Robots with emotions. Machines with skills. Data says many jobs may never be the same again Is this the end of human labour as we know it? Or the hope is in collaboration: humans working with robots and #AI. Comment below: If robots took over your job tomorrow, what would YOU do next? #artificialintelligence #robotics #airevolution2025 #humanai #digitaltransformation

Weekend Special: Before your ideas are judged, you are. Long before the slide deck. Long before the handshake. People scan for certainty. They look for steadiness. They follow whoever feels settled in their own skin. You don’t need to dominate the room. You need to anchor it. Move with intention. Pause before you speak. Let silence work for you. Influence starts in the body, not the mouth. #LeadershipPresence #PersonalBrand #Influence #BusinessLeadership #LeadWithImpact

As part of the AI and Technology Hub, Dr Malak Hamdan had the opportunity to engage with global leaders, innovators, and policymakers on how artificial intelligence and advanced technologies can accelerate the energy transition and drive smarter, more resilient systems. The discussions reinforced an important message: the future of energy is not only about clean power, but also about intelligent, data driven solutions and cross sector collaboration. We look forward to playing our part in turning these insights into action. #FutureEnergySummit #Sustainability #AIinEnergy #EnergyTransition #Innovation #AbuDhabi #TechnologyForGood

What happens when a new generation stops choosing comfort and starts choosing vision? In Saudi Arabia, young founders are driven by passion, not privilege, and entrepreneurship is the mission, not the backup plan. Is this the mindset shaping the region’s next growth story? 👉 Watch more of this interesting conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58fsO_MiYM&t=10s #vision2030 #SaudiEntrepreneurs #youthleadership #entrepreneurship #leadership #innovation

We celebrate innovation, but why does leadership still look so traditional? If talent isn’t the issue why women leadership isn’t recognised at the top? As technology rewrites the rules of work, will it unlock new voices or reinforce old barriers? Our next podcast of The Reframe Lab brings a perspective that is talked about but not nearly enough in the right way. In this episode Dr. Heather Jeffrey, Subject Head and Associate Professor of Marketing at University of Birmingham, Dubai explores the intersection of women, leadership, and emerging tech. 👉 Watch more of this interesting conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX8J05TAWSI #thereframelab #fullpodcast #ai #stem #aileaders #womeninleadership #womenintech

Most organisations measure output. Some track outcomes. Very few design for impact. At LSC, we start with the last one. Output: We ran the programme. We launched the tool. We delivered the workshop. Outcome: Skills improved. Decisions got faster. Teams aligned better. Impact: People work differently. Results compound. The organisation actually shifts. When work starts with activity, it ends with noise. When it starts with people, it creates change. The difference isn’t effort. It’s focus. And focus is what separates work that exists from work that matters. #impact #technology #leadership #change

You don’t lose people in arguments. You lose them in indifference. The follow-up that never comes. The feedback that stays unsaid. The silence after “we’ll fix it.” Nothing explosive. Just enough to break the rhythm of belief. In the digital world, this happens at scale. See it in the video. NB: If you’ve noticed one constant symbol in my videos, You’re part of the inner circle 🙂 #cybersecurity #digitalleadership #ai #trust #digitaltransformation

Weekend Special: I used to think the answer was always more effort. More hours. More pressure. More control. And for a while, it worked. Until it didn’t (i.e., law of diminishing returns in economics). Projects slowed down. My team waited for direction instead of taking ownership. And I was exhausted, wondering why pushing harder kept giving me less. So, I tried something that felt wrong for a leader. I stopped jumping in. I stopped solving everything. I stopped being the loudest voice in the room. Instead of forcing outcomes, I started questioning assumptions. Instead of reacting faster, I paused long enough to actually listen. Instead of doubling down, I gave people room to figure it out. (This is paradoxical thinking, which I discuss in this video) That shift didn’t just change results. It changed trust. It changed accountability. It changed me. Sometimes the strongest move a leader can make is stepping back. What leadership habit are you holding onto that might be holding your team back? #Innovation #Management #Technology #Startups #Leadership

Over 70% of companies are already using AI, yet most say they’re not seeing real business impact. Why? Because too many are treating AI like a chatbot, not like infrastructure. Real value doesn’t come from generic tools. It comes from an AI built around: ▸ Your own data ▸ Your security and risk needs ▸ Your real operational problems That’s why leading organisations are investing in bespoke AI systems, not plug-and-play bots, designing intelligence into how work actually gets done. The race isn’t about who adopts AI first. It’s about who builds it right. 👉 Watch more of this interesting conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7wDlQJTLI @ImranZawwar #artificialintelligence #enterpriseai #agenticai #digitaltransformation #leadership #innovation #futureofwork

Is the playing field in leadership equal? If it is… Why do men still dominate leadership, especially in AI? Why do so many “Top 20 AI Leaders” lists feature mostly men? Are women not leading… Or are they just not being seen? This is the conversation we don’t have often enough, and it’s time. Get ready to rethink everything in the next episode of our podcast, The Reframe Lab with Dr Heather, Head of Subject & Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Birmingham Dubai. #thereframelab #podcasttrailer #ai #stem #aileaders #womeninleadership #womenintech
