Supporting National Capacity Building with the Leading Change in Dynamic Organizations Program

February 23, 2026

Last November, ExecEd celebrated the graduation of the program’s fourth and most recent cohort which exclusively included 35 members from Egypt’s judicial and legal sector.

As Egypt advances toward Vision 2030, the need for capable, adaptive, and values-driven leadership has become critical to achieving sustainable economic and institutional development. Focusing on this national priority, Onsi Sawiris School of Business Executive Education (ExecEd) has developed the Leading Change in Dynamic Organizations, which targets capacity building across multiple sectors.

Last November, ExecEd celebrated the graduation of the program’s fourth and most recent cohort which exclusively included 35 members from Egypt’s judicial and legal sector. Aiming to support the development of different specializations in the public sector, the program bridges theoretical knowledge and the lived professional experience of participants.

The program is delivered collaboratively with the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) Executive Education at The American University in Cairo (AUC), in partnership with the National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) and the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation (MPED). This ensures that the content is tailored for impact, targeting specific gaps that affect the efficiency and efficacy of higher management in Egypt’s national institutions.

Judge Haitham Mohamed Bahaa, an Economic Court Head and Manager of the Judicial Governance Project at NIGSD emphasized the program’s impact

“The program was successful at making judges step into the role of the manager. After the training, the judges no longer feared change; instead, they started to focus on how to modernize the judicial system with their own hands”.

Similarly, Judge Yasmin El Isslambouli, Member of the Public Relations Office at the Administrative Prosecution Authority (APA) highlighted how the program significantly changed her way of thinking.

“The program was a different professional experience for me, it was not just a theoretical training, but it was a real space to understand what effective leadership means”.

Leading change in Dynamic Organizations builds upon the success of ExecEd’s Leadership for Government Excellence (LGE) initiative which trained 120 government officials from 24 ministries and received the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) Excellence in Practice (EiP) Silver Award in 2023. Through these programs, ExecEd helps shape Egypt’s professional ecosystem, uplifting the national workforce and those on the ground making real impact.
