The Saudi Water Authority(SWA) and Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship (MBSC) have recently formed a high-potential development program that will help address SWA's needs for stronger talent pipelines, as well as MBSC's vision to build impactful leaders with entrepreneurial spirit.
The HIPO Development Program gives participants the unique opportunity to hone their leadership skills, unlock their full potential, and acquire the competencies needed to drive organizational excellence and high performance. The program is in line with the shared goal of both institutions: to develop leadership and empower the next generation of leaders in Saudi Arabia.
Through a meticulously designed curriculum, the program will enable participants to gain deeper self-awareness, identifying their unique strengths and areas for growth. Focused sessions will cultivate cutting-edge skills aligned with organizational and personal success. The program emphasizes innovation and strategic thinking, empowering participants to lead transformative change. The initiative fosters networking among like-minded professionals, enabling collaboration and knowledge exchange.
This collaboration is part of a broader Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MBSC and SWA, aiming to establish a strategic framework for cooperation in key areas such as leadership development, women empowerment, digital transformation, and professional training. The MoU also underpins a shared vision to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by diversifying the national economy and enhancing competitiveness at both local and international levels.
Dr. Zeger Degraeve, dean of MBSC, said: “We are proud to partner with SWA to launch the Development Program, which aligns seamlessly with our mission to develop leaders who can drive impact and transformation across key sectors. This initiative underscores MBSC’s position as a catalyst for change, empowering individuals to not only achieve personal excellence but also advance the Kingdom’s broader goals”.
The partnership reiterates MBSC’s commitment to delivering world-class education and professional development opportunities tailored to the unique needs of Saudi Arabia, ensuring participants emerge as pioneers of innovation and organizational success.
