The BCI Saudi Chapter invites you to join our upcoming Café Talk, When Crisis Hits: Why Leadership and Culture Determine Survival, featuring resilience and business continuity leader Wael Althobaiti.

As disruptions grow more complex and unpredictable, the ability to respond effectively is no longer driven by plans alone, but by leadership and organizational culture. In this interactive session, Wael will share practical insights on how leadership readiness, decision-making under pressure, and a strong resilience culture shape outcomes during high-impact events. The discussion will highlight lessons from corporate stress testing and large-scale crisis simulations, and how organizations can strengthen their ability to respond, adapt, and sustain performance when it matters most.

Join us for an engaging dialogue tailored for resilience, risk, and business continuity leaders across Saudi Arabia.
