During the Expo in particular, our team did encounter language barriers and certain cultural differences that made it a little more challenging to communicate with foreign parties while also managing diversified, fast-track projects. Our teams worked together through these challenges ensuring that all sensitivities were managed during communications with clients and all risks were mitigated accordingly. We work in a region that encourages forward-looking leaders and promotes successful businesses. United Arab Emirates continues to offer plenty of opportunities in order to maintain economy growth. We’re doing our part in assessing the challenges and are confident that the vision of this nation’s leaders will continue to open new pathways for the contracting segment here. With the current situation, no one is immune to the challenges posed to the economy. However, we continue to approach the situation cautiously and remain optimistic that we can maintain and grow the business. In a situation like this, we tend to:
•Focus inward on organizational development with the infusion of young engineers in our talent pool •Ensure that our existing projects don’t get impacted and implement the necessary steps •Focus on business development and strategy that results in a win-win approach
• Remain cognizant of the external circumstances that lay ahead
