partnered with Swiber in this business<br />
venture. Today we have reached a significant<br />
milestone in terms of owning<br />
our first vessel. However, we believe<br />

GAP ANALYSIS<br />
it is believed that our business performs better if all required planning<br />
is done in advance. irrespective of our operation or business, we can<br />
reduce gaps in performance only if all planning is done in time with all<br />
resources ready for use. Performance Gap Analysis examines particular<br />
aspects of business performance for problems and suggests solutions for<br />
these problems. it is a diagnosis-oriented analysis that pinpoints problems<br />
such that a business unit or a department can perform to plan and<br />
achieve the desired results. Very often any kind of negative performance<br />
in the business results in gaps and hammers the progress ahead. business<br />
managers need to analyze the reasons for gaps and take efforts to<br />
make the necessary changes for conditions to work accordingly.<br />
Gap analysis requires an established<br />
system of measurements such as company<br />
metrics, targets, or goals. When<br />
performance clearly indicates a trend<br />
of a distance between the current situation<br />
and the desired performance, certain<br />
steps are followed so that the business<br />
gap can be analyzed and removed<br />
to bring the business or growth back<br />
on track. The targets for each metric<br />
usually are calculated or emerge from<br />
the goals of the business. However,<br />
you will frequently find that the actual<br />
state of the business is not meeting<br />
these requirements – that a gap exists<br />
between what we need as a business<br />
and what we are actually getting. That<br />
gap could be a local issue, dealt with<br />
via daily management, or it could be an<br />
issue that crosses traditional management<br />
lines, which is handled in crossfunctional<br />
management. Basically,<br />
you need to start business gap analysis<br />
procedures from internal factors and<br />
later from external factors.<br />
In order to characterize and affect the<br />
business gap it is essential to analyze<br />
your business unit’s plans, goals, and<br />
responsibilities. In case all duties are<br />
not assigned properly to employees,<br />
there will definitely be a gap in business<br />
growth. The business plans and<br />
goals must be SMART; that is Specific,<br />
measureable, Achievable, Realistic,<br />
and Timely.<br />
It is also essential to define the desired<br />
results for all functions (such as sales<br />
or business development) and assign<br />
all responsibilities accordingly to the<br />
staff and maintain a clear focus on<br />
their scope of work. If the business<br />
unit lends proper focus on expected<br />
results and aligns its functions accordingly<br />
there will be no issues of gaps<br />
relating to internal factors. measuring<br />
the individual performance as well as<br />
keeping documented records will help<br />
a lot in determining the requirements<br />
for corrective actions.<br />
A comparison between actual and<br />
desired results based on established<br />
business operations and processes<br />
will help business managers characterize<br />
the gap and understand all the<br />
required improvements. This kind of<br />
gap can be especially highlighted when<br />
comparisons are made over a sequence<br />
of intervals in a fixed timeline. When<br />
a trend of performance gap is clearly<br />
visible it can be a good indication of<br />
management, organizational setup, or<br />
team weaknesses.<br />
Identifying gap drivers requires robust<br />
reporting and KPI systems and a keen<br />
eye on data analysis. The basic reasons<br />
for business gaps can be analyzed<br />
by asking questions like: Why did the<br />
gap occur? Due to whom did the gap<br />
occur? Usually, questions like these<br />
can be answered with straight forward<br />
statistical methods such as Analysis of<br />
variances (ANOvA) and/or correlation<br />
analysis. Then you need to ask the<br />
question: What can be done to remove<br />
the gap and bring the business back to<br />
plan and how long would it take? At<br />
that point, you would have some options<br />
available and certain tradeoffs to<br />
make.<br />
To put a structure to the gap analysis<br />
process, let’s say it can be conducted<br />
in three different stages. To start with,<br />
you should use your management dashboards<br />
to identify and clearly state the<br />
problem – an issue that could be expressed<br />
in terms of unmet goals or specific,<br />
weak positions (e.g. weak sales<br />
or manufacturing process) that need to<br />
be strengthened to improve your business<br />
unit’s performance. Next, you<br />
need to develop criteria to accurately<br />
characterize the current (weak) performance<br />
in relation to your business unit<br />
metrics and plans and then the performance<br />
required to solve the problem.<br />
Root cause analysis (RCA) can be one<br />
of the methods to effectively pinpoint<br />
the problem through the fishbone analysis<br />
tool in addition to the statistical<br />
methods I mentioned earlier. The last<br />
step would then be to formulate and<br />
implement corrective actions to move<br />
from current performance to the desired,<br />
planned performance.<br />
Once you have identified and analyzed<br />
all possible business gap reasons, possible<br />
options can be put to practice<br />
to make things better. Identifying all<br />
possible solutions is not too cumbersome<br />
if their root cause is recognized.<br />
Implementing the solutions will work<br />
out and to a high degree bridge the<br />
gaps in business and quickly stabilize<br />
operations. To be on the safe side<br />
all possible elements that may create<br />
gaps should be studied in advance and<br />
workflow should be continued accordingly.<br />

<strong>RAWABI</strong>’S SERvICE<br />
APPRECIATION AWARDS<br />
2010<br />
Rawabi’s Service Appreciation Awards Ceremony for the year 2010<br />
took place at Le Meridien Hotel, Al-Khobar, last November 25,<br />
2010. Two Hundred and Eighteen (218) employees were honored<br />
for their years of service at Rawabi companies.<br />
<strong>RAWABI</strong> CHAIRmAN<br />
OPENING SPEECH<br />
“Distinguished Guests, ladies and gentlemen,<br />
Welcome to Rawabi’s Annual Service<br />
Appreciation Awards! I am delighted to<br />
greet each and every one of you and I<br />
am very proud to honor a great number<br />
of our team members for their commitment<br />
and hard work over the years.<br />
Dear Honorees,<br />
An honest executive is one who shares<br />
the credits with the people who did all<br />
the work for him. Well, I want to say<br />
how grateful I am for the really dedicated<br />
work that you have put in over<br />
the past years-----a very demanding era<br />
for Rawabi group of companies as many<br />
of you know. Your loyalty and sense of<br />
responsibility have contributed to our<br />
continuous growth and development.<br />
So on behalf of myself, the company,<br />
and your colleagues, congratulations<br />
on your years of service and to many,<br />
many more!<br />
Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
A wise man once said:”He that will<br />
not apply new remedies must expect<br />
new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.”<br />
— Francis Bacon (22 January<br />
1561 - 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher,<br />
statesman, scientist, lawyer,<br />
jurist and author.<br />
“He that will not apply new remedies…”<br />
so in order for us to compete<br />
and continue to expand while maintaining<br />
success in an ever-changing world<br />
of business with all its new trends and<br />
necessities, we must be ready and<br />
willing to change and modify our practice.<br />
A forward thinking and open minded<br />
approach has been one of Rawabi’s<br />
main tools that have enabled us to<br />
take the lead in different aspects of<br />
business. But to maintain our position<br />
and to exceed our goals and objectives,<br />
we’ve been constantly assessing and<br />
modernizing our practice as well as our<br />
image.<br />
Therefore, during the past few years,<br />
Rawabi has investing heavily in several<br />
projects to<br />
• reform our organizational<br />
structure<br />

moreover, during the 2009 Service Appreciation<br />
Awards, I had announced<br />
that we were in the process of rebranding<br />
to better reflect Rawabi’s position<br />
today. Since then, we have been working<br />
with a leading global brand consultancy<br />
on evaluating our brand and<br />
indentifying our unique values.<br />
We have audited the brands of our<br />
competitors in the Saudi market and<br />
internationally and compared their<br />
brands to our own to better understand<br />
where we stand. We have come up with<br />
a brand strategy for our group of companies<br />
and so on.<br />
Ladies & Gentlemen, The countdown<br />
is on…in January 2011, we will be<br />
launching the Rawabi Holding new<br />
brand.<br />
Dear Rawabi Employees,<br />
Change is never easy; however, when<br />
we work hand in hand looking wisely at<br />
the big picture and keeping in mind the<br />
necessity of being ahead of the game<br />
and taking the lead, we will make it<br />
happen!<br />
Once again, congratulations to all winners!<br />
Thank you very much and may<br />
2011 be a successful year to all!”<br />

Title/Subject: The Power of NOTHiNG!<br />
The word <strong>BRAND</strong> with its current meaning is a new arrival to our vocabulary,<br />
many marketers tried hard putting it into a solid frame with lots of theoretical<br />
descriptions, but at the end it doesn’t really have a physical form, it is a buildup<br />
of “values” made by several tools (logos, names, colors, products, character<br />
etc.) but at the end it is that very powerful “Nothing” that avatars “Something”<br />
deep into our minds.<br />
Catch: Our life is an integrated matrix of brands, and guess what, each of us is<br />
a brand whether we like it or not, so we better be a strong one!<br />
Actionable Message: You need to passionately work for the brands you belong to<br />
(starting from yourself), appreciate these brands, and utilize their power!<br />
Guest Speaker, Ibraheem Abbas, Chief Creative Officer/Co-Founder of<br />
Visualizit Company delivered a fun an education presentation on<br />
branding titled the Power of Nothing.<br />
