Q1: Why is effective communication critical for a diversified holding group?

• Resource Optimization: Shared services (HR, Finance, Marketing) only work when departments communicate their needs clearly and early.
• Innovation: Our value of Innovation thrives different companies can contribute and collaborate with each other.
• Cultural Alignment: Clear communication ensures every subsidiary, regardless of its age or industry, upholds our core values of Integrity and Sustainability.

Q2: How should a Saudi-based company structure its meetings?

In the Saudi market, meetings must balance professional efficiency with the Kingdom's culture of relationship-building. At Saheel Group, we recommend a three-tier meeting structure:

1. Strategic Quarterly Reviews: These involve the leadership of all subsidiaries to align with the Group's broader Vision and Mission.
1. Monthly Operational Syncs: Focus on "Centralized Core Services"—HR, Finance, and Marketing—to ensure all daughter & sister companies are receiving the support they need.
2. Weekly Agile Huddles: Short, 15-minute stand-ups for specific projects.

Q3: What are the best practices for getting meetings to actually happen?

The biggest challenge for any growing group is "meeting fatigue." To ensure your meetings are productive and consistent:

• Define the "Shared Service" Benefit: Ensure every participant understands how the meeting helps their specific department—whether it’s streamlining Governmental Relations or optimizing Logistics.
• Action-Oriented Agendas: Never hold a meeting without a clear objective.
• Leverage Technology: To deliver better and more efficient meetings, you can leverage a "Tech-Stack" that automates the boring parts of meetings so your team can focus on Strategic Growth.

1. AI Meeting Assistants (Eliminate Manual Note-Taking)

The most common "waste of time" in meetings is manually writing minutes. AI tools can now join your meetings, record them, and provide a summary within minutes.

2. Visual Collaboration (For Brainstorming & Strategy)

Traditional presentations can be passive. For strategic consultations, use interactive "Infinite Canvases" to build ideas in real-time.

3. Asynchronous Communication (Reduce the Number of Meetings)

The best way to have "efficient" meetings is to have fewer of them. Use technology to handle updates that don't require a live call.

How to implement this at your company

1. Standardize the Tool: Choose one platform (e.g., Microsoft Teams or Google Workspace) as the "Main Stage."
2. Use "Meeting Bots": Invite Fellow.ai or Fireflies to every recurring sync.
3. The "5-Minute Prep" Rule: Use a shared agenda tool (Hypercontext or Fellow) where every attendee must add their points before the meeting starts. No agenda = No meeting.

By leveraging these AI and collaborative tools, your company can maintain its commitment to Innovation and Sustainability, ensuring that every minute spent in a meeting translates directly into business value.

We offer Strategic Consultations in governance and growth to our partners. By centralizing core functions like Marketing and Finance, we act as the "connective tissue" that keeps information flowing smoothly between different business units. This collaboration is the foundation upon which we rise.
