National Fellowship in Strategic Leadership
For the executives who carry Oman's largest projects and the Gulf's most ambitious companies.
The fellowship gathers a small group of senior leaders from government and the private sector for nine months. Fellows study how to align their organizations with national priorities: economic diversification, in-country value, public-private partnerships and foreign investment.
Most of the learning happens between peers. Fellows work through deep cases, test ideas on each other's real challenges and travel together on an international learning journey to study how other countries delivered their transformation.
