From 2015-2019, OEE ran three 25-participant cohorts of a year-long Executive Leadership Forum for the Royal Commission on Yanbu, consisting of 10.5 days of instruction and 18 days of assessment and coaching.

Participants completed two rounds of 360-degree feedback as well as other assessments to measure their growth, and presented their team assignments to the executive committee.

Modules included:

Since 2018, OEE has trained nearly 200 employees through seven batches of the Discovery Leadership Program for FAB, which developed the following skills: Self Management for Personal Effectiveness, Team Leadership to Increase Departmental Effectiveness, and Business Management Leading to Organizational Excellence.

Participants underwent two one-on-one coaching sessions, completed an assignment, and attended 6.5 days of instruction:

The program consisted of 10.5-day modules, tutorial sessions between the modules, and comprehensive exams. Topics covered included:
