The topics are 'Strategy Development' and 'Leading with Emotional Intelligence' and both will be delivered by America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc. (AMIDEAST)America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc. (AMIDEAST)

The 'Strategy Development' workshop will enable participants to identify an e-vision for success through the strategic use of the Internet and IT. As one of the modules of the "iExec Essentials" course offered by Cisco Entrepreneur Institute in partnership with AMIDEASTAMIDEAST, the workshop focuses on developing an IT and Internet-enabled business strategy and is designed to help delegates carry out internal and external situation analyses, identify and prioritize opportunities and develop business cases to support process improvements using the Internet and IT. As part of the workshop, delegates will learn to review their mission statement, goals and objectives and relate them back to the IT and Internet strategies. They will also be guided through the process of conducting a value-chain and stakeholder analysis to identify potential opportunities to build organizational value and impact.
The Strategy Development workshop was developed by Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) for Emerging Markets and will be delivered by Mr Ali Khalid Al Sharji, Founder and Senior Business Consultant for Uretaj, a Management Consulting and Training firm that offers services in Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Mr Al Sharji has over 15 years experience in sales, marketing and building company profit centres and is a trainer for Injaz-Oman, Oman Chamber of Commerce, Intilaqaah, and AMIDEASTAMIDEAST. He is a certified Cisco Entrepreneur Institute Instructor.
The 'Leading with Emotional Intelligence' workshop will cover the fundamentals of improving Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills needed to become an inspirational leader able to motivate team members to work effectively. Delegates will learn how they can improve EI skills such as self-awareness, self-confidence, empathy and relationship management in order to have a positive impact on others and to empower team members to become more proactive and responsible.
The 'Leading with Emotional Intelligence' workshop will be delivered by Mr. Matt Jabbour, MBA ,PMP, AMIDEASTAMIDEAST's Trainer and Senior Business Consultant. He previously worked with the Information Technology Authority (ITA) in Oman for two years, during which time he advised the Executive Committee in developing its business strategy, offered Executive Seminars and coaching to the CEO and his team, and conducted management seminars for over 80 ITA employees and managers.
"AMIDEASTAMIDEAST is very pleased to team up with Envent to deliver these workshops at the Women in Business Conference 2010," said Noor Dawood, AMIDEAST Training Programs Manager. "With this year's focus on women as an economic force, we believe that our workshops are particularly relevant, enabling the delegates to increase their effectiveness in the workplace by learning about best practices in leadership and by integrating IT more fully into their business strategies.
For the 2010 conference, Envent is working with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and has included a special focus on the use of IT technology as a tool in business. The Information Technology Authority will use the conference to platform their 'Women and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)' initiative.
In recent decades, the widespread incorporation of ICTs into many tiers of business, political processes and everyday life has caused fundamental restructuring of the global economy. ICTs have increased the ability to work remotely and to communicate across geographical, social and gender divides. This part of the conference will focus on the impact of ICT on women and their use as a tool for their empowerment and the promotion of gender equality.
Salma al Hashmi, Chief Executive Officer of Envent and founder of the annual Women in Business conference said, "I am very excited about these workshops. They will help the next generation of business women and entrepreneurs in Oman to effectively embrace the use of information technology in their business practices as well as learn leadership skills that really work."
