Ismail Serageldin conducted a successful two-day offsite retreat gathering senior and junior BA managers. The main theme of the retreat was Teambuilding. Serageldin engaged the staff with several team building exercises to stimulate broader thinking while helping to break down the barriers to collaboration by providing simple yet powerful metaphors about the definition and importance of teamwork. The retreat agenda also included a review of the most recent achievements at the BA. Serageldin delivered a great talk on the role of the BA: nationally, regionally and internationally in addition to presentations on time management, consolidation and corporate image and monitoring and evaluation.
