The Saudi Industrial Development Fund's Academy (SIDF Academy) has launched an executive education program to provide Saudi industry leaders with innovative business and leadership skills that will enable them to navigate through critical times and constantly pursue growth opportunities in their industries.

The 12-week program, Leading Creative Transformation in Critical Times, is offered by SIDF Academy in collaboration with the Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD). The program is structured to provide critical knowledge in a range of topics to help managers support teams who are undertaking organizational transformation.

The self-paced, virtual program covers a wide array of topics that include innovation strategy, creativity, digital transformation, supply chain management and team leadership.

The program format includes curated online courses that have been developed by Stanford University faculty and are delivered through the Stanford Center for Professional Development; four interactive sessions with Stanford faculty to explore critical topics through Q&A; three cohort discussion sessions facilitated by SCPD and SIDF to help participants apply insights to their jobs and build networks and learning communities among peers; and an optional capstone project presentation session.

Upon completion of the program, participants will earn a statement of participation from SCPD.
