PREPARING
THE
FUTURE
A New Chapter Begins
Perfectly equipped with a solid strategy and a great passion for what
we do, we drove things forward at Khatib & Alami (K&A) over the past
decade and led the firm to a substantial growth filled with record-
breaking achievements that have spanned all over the MENA region
and beyond. As a result, we redefined our vision for the future, and
realized the need to implement certain changes that will allow us to
achieve this vision of actually being the number one choice company
for our clients. In order to achieve that, we decided to bring about a
new transformation program called K&A One so that K&A becomes
one seamless, well-positioned company in an increasingly competitive
market. This has been an extensive and comprehensive initiative
that will provide our local customers immediate access to globally
integrated design teams, standardized project delivery with tailored
and responsive service to further enhance K&A’s offerings and service
to clients.
Based on the new organization structure, we developed exciting career
paths with attractive jobs based on industry best practices for each
function in the company. In parallel, new job descriptions and titles were
drafted clearly describing the roles, responsibilities, competencies and
accountabilities, which not only offer our employees the opportunity to
focus on performance, but also enable us to target our star performers
at an earlier stage in their career.
Most importantly, throughout the process, we ensured to safeguard
the unique K&A culture and spirit created by our founders and we
focused on our greatest resources: our people, all while fostering a
culture based on improved learning, capability building and knowledge
sharing. This will provide further opportunities to our employees and
will be another step towards making K&A one of the most exciting and
promising places to work.
