Palladium Group Opens Middle East Regional Office

Palladium Group, Inc., the global market leader in helping organizations execute their strategies, today announced the opening of its Middle East regional base, located in the Dubai Knowledge Village, an international destination for strategic and human capital management.

The opening of Palladium’s Dubai office — Palladium’s first in the Middle East — represents a commitment to the Gulf region. Palladium has a number of clients throughout the region in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, and about a dozen Palladium professional staff are currently working there. Serving as the Middle East headquarters, the office will include sales, delivery, and management personnel.

The Palladium team has already been engaged in the region, recently delivering a training course for the General Secretariat of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi (GSEC). The training session, with the participation of 45 representatives from government entities, discussed balanced performance cards, a key element to improve the process of developing government performance in the Emirate.

“We are pleased to open our offices in Dubai where the proximity to our clients will allow us to enhance our service deliverables while establishing greater synergy, and lead to stronger and more enduring relationships,” said Pablo Diego, President, Palladium EMEA. “With an office in the Middle East, more organizations in the region will also have access to our core offering, the Execution Premium Assessment (XPA)(TM), which will help them understand the strategic performance gap between where they are and where they want to be.”

Based on more than fifteen years of research by Drs. Robert Kaplan and David Norton, the world’s preeminent authorities on strategic performance management, and the best practices of more than 100 high performing organizations, the XPA is a two week process that shows organizations how their performance compares to high performing companies globally, and where to focus improvement efforts to maximize near-term results. Insights from the process provide a shared framework integrating the diverse components of the management systems to help the organization clarify strategy, drive performance, and optimize data.
