WHY E-LEARNING PROGRAMS STRUGGLE IN
THE REGION
Well-attended Technical Presentation presented by Dr. Salah Al-Sharhan, professor in GUST University
Pre-Project , Project Lifecycle & Post Project Stages and the Efficient E-learning Implementation Model
Holiday Inn, Salmiya, 24th Sept. 2013
The Technical Presentation initiated with a
brief introduction of Dr. Salah Al-Sharhan by
Mr. Hazem. Dr. Salah is an Associate Professor,
highly experienced in the IT sector and the
Director & founder of the e-learning centre of
excellence in GUST University.
Dr. Salah participated in developing the e-
learning strategy of the Ministry of education
where he was the Program Manager of the e-
learning project (consists of 9 different pro-
jects) which is a splendid national project, intro-
duces eLearning to all the schools of The State
of Kuwait.
He explained the difficulties faced in delivering
the Kuwait e-learning project & elaborated the
reasons why e-learning struggles in the region.
Some of the Primary reasons were as follows—
Lack of Strategies
Failure to develop physical architecture
Cannot recognize magnitude of technology
Projects are dominated by non-
experienced Project Managers
Lack of PM best practices
Diversity in ownership in Ministries
Project Complexity & Poor planning
Organisational restructuring / HR compe-
tencies
Project Risk / QA standards
No clear integration strategy.
Dr, Salah suggested that most Projects are
dominated by IT / Software Engineers, as the
strategies are linked to Technologies. However,
the most effective delivery method would be to
involve a team of subject matter experts to
work together as a team including teachers, IT
team, educators etc.
He stated that the PMBOK 5 including the new
knowledge area Stakeholder management
acknowledges the involvement required of the
team for successful project completion.
Dr. Salah proposed an efficient e-learning imple-
mentation model using PMI guidelines and rec-
ommended development of PM Practices &
Methodologies for the same.
The Presentation was followed by an interactive
Q & A session. The event concluded with Mr.
Wael Jasem, President of PMIAGC KW award-
ing a certificate of appreciation to Dr. Salah Al-
Sharhan, GUST University.

the PMIAGC , Kuwait Team attending the Breakfast meeting.
Construction Risk Cycle based on PMBOK & the Construction Parties involved, red indicating the risk onus
Holiday Inn , Salmiya, 6h July 2013
A very insightful technical presentation was
presented by Dr. Karim El-Dash on Risk Man-
agement, wherein he provided an insight into
the biggest risk factors of the construction
sector with large impact to Project delivery.
Mr. Hazem Ibrahim introduced Dr. Karim El-
Dash. He is a Professor of Construction Man-
agement at Banha University, Egypt. Published
about 30 papers in international Journals with
an experience of over 29 years in the design
and management of projects in the Middle-East
region.
He initiated the presentation with correlating the current risk situation of Egypt and its im-
pact on projects. He focused on the major
risks faced during construction phase with an
example project in Egypt of an U/G parking
structure i.e Underground parking lot condi-
tions, License & permits for infrastructure,
Project rejection due to lack of compliance
with safety and fire requirements
Timely definition and implementation of the
risks involved in the project from the onset
would define the success and failures of the
project.
The PMBOK guide Risk Management technique
follows the process—Identification, Analysis,
Response, Control. He outlined the general
risks usually faced-
Positive (Opportunity) – Business Risk –Financial & Economic Situation
Negative risk (Threats) – Accidents & Safety
Some risks identified from history (experienced in previous projects)
Unknown risks He raised a crucial risk & its mitigation method
for the owner from the comprising three par-
ties involved - owner, consultant, contractor,
Construction Risk — transferred to Con-
tractor by contract & Performance bond.
Design Risk - transferred to Consultant
by Professional Indemnity.
The techniques to mitigate risk are to Assess
the Impact of the risks & plan appropriate
risks mitigation strategies during planning
and followup on the risk, evaluation of se-
verity of risk along with appropriate pro-
curement methods to avoid such risks &
greater involvement of the contractor be-
fore or during initiation of the project.
The seminar concluded with awarding a cer-
tificate of appreciation to Dr. Karim El-Dash.

His Excellency Minister of Public Works and
Electricity and Water Mr. Abdul Aziz Al Ibra-
him opens officially inaugurated The Big 5 Ku-
wait 2013 on Monday 16 September, at the
Kuwait International Fair. The region’s largest
event for the construction industry in Kuwait
opened with over 185 exhibitors from 25 coun-
tries, providing complete building solutions to
those attending the event.
Andy White, Group Event Director for The Big
5, said: “The Big 5 Kuwait is a sell-out for its
launch, with 12 national pavilions participating
in the three day exhibition, bringing together
renowned brands from the building and con-
struction world. For a market with great poten-
tial in the GCC, The Big 5 Kuwait offers visi-
tors access to a full spectrum of innovative
products, technologies and industry insights.”
Taking place from the 16 - 18 September at the
Kuwait International Fair, the event will see product launches, new technologies, the launch
of the Sustainable Design & Construction Con-
ference, a certified LEED training workshop, a
How to Trade in Kuwait seminar for interna-
tional companies to learn how to enter theKu-
waiti market and opportunities to network
THE BIG 5 - CONSTRUCTION EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE
with professionals from across the industry.
Alongside the launch of the exhibition, con-
struction professionals had the opportunity to
gain their USGBC LEED 201 Workshop: Core
Concepts and Strategies certificate. The work-
shop combined theory with practical applica-
tion, showing participants ways in which they
can incorporate LEED strategies into their own
business.
Commenting on the LEED 201 workshop, Mar-
io Seneviratne the workshop facilitator and
USGBC LEED Fellow said, “The LEED work-
shop is the most important class for anyone
who wants to understand sustainability and
sustainable buildings. Our goal here is to simpli-
fy the use of LEED in buildings. There is
obviously a technology component to it, and we
want to make that very lucid, which people
really appreciate. They may have come to the
workshop with a sense of apprehension, but
they definitely left with confidence.”
Supported by His Excellency Anas Khalid Al-
Saleh of the Kuwait Ministry of Commerce and
Industry, The Big 5 Kuwait is hosting interna-
tional exhibitors from countries like Kuwait,
Australia, Spain, Italy, Canada, Hong Kong and
UAE.
