Assisting the restructuring of Jordan Enterprise Corporation : final report

Based on recommendations made in early 2006 by the AMIR Program, the process of restructuring JE is gradually taking place. The appointment of a new CEO for JE in October 2006 brought some new energy to the process. Fortunately, this coincided with the setting up of Sustainable Achievement of Business Expansion and Quality (SABEQ) program. SABEQ is now working closely with the top management of JE to accelerate the restructuring. Advice and counseling regarding the restructuring process is being provided. Two successful team-building Workshops were held, for cross-sections of JE staff, at the SABEQ Training Center, on 17th and 18th January 2007. The restructuring of JE will lead to more rapid and professional delivery of enterprise and export development services by JE for the benefit of the Jordanian economy. However, a more intense and active level of government commitment to the restructuring process must be engendered, if the process itself is not to stall and lose credibility.
