Combining more than 25 years of transformation work with a live view of execution, the partnership gives leaders in Saudi Arabia and the GCC a shorter route from plan to delivery.
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA — July 20, 2026
Cascade, the AI-powered platform for Strategy-Led Performance, has announced a partnership with Symbios Consulting and Training, an international management consulting firm based in Riyadh that helps organizations design and implement the operating models behind their strategy. The partnership pairs Symbios' hands-on transformation work with Cascade's platform, so leadership teams across Saudi Arabia and the GCC can see whether the plans they set are actually moving.
Symbios has been doing this work since 1999, when the firm was established in the UK. Its consultants work across construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, supply chain, and service organizations, including large-scale transformation programs where the plan and the day job are hardest to keep connected. The firm builds integrated operating models, uses OGSM to translate strategy into what teams actually do, redesigns processes, and strengthens procurement and supply chain performance. It also takes on ERP-enabled digital transformation, data mining, and AI solution design.
Symbios also builds capability in the people expected to deliver. The firm works directly with leaders and teams, using hands-on guidance and practical tools to turn a plan into something they know how to execute. That is often what decides whether a new operating model survives contact with the organization.
Adding Cascade gives that work a live record. Once the operating model is designed and the goals and measures are set, priorities, owners, and progress sit in one place leaders can check any week rather than waiting for the next steering committee. Symbios builds the system an organization runs on. Cascade shows whether it is delivering.
"Our partnership with Cascade strengthens our ability to help organizations turn strategy into action. By combining Symbios' transformation expertise with Cascade's powerful execution platform, we empower leaders across the GCC to achieve clarity, alignment, and measurable results," said Mohammed Almogiseeb, Co-founder at Symbios Consulting and Training.
Organizations in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf are working to timelines that leave little room for a strategy that stalls in the middle layers. Ambitions get set at the top and budgets get committed, but delivery depends on whether hundreds of teams across sites, functions, and contractors are pulling in the same direction. Symbios knows those environments from the inside, having spent years on transformation programs in the region's most operationally complex sectors. That experience is what makes a platform useful rather than another reporting layer.
"Plenty of firms can write a strategy. Far fewer have spent decades inside supply chains, ERP rollouts, and construction programs, which is where most strategies quietly break down," remarked Tom Milligan, Director of Global Alliances at Cascade. "Symbios brings both, and that combination is rare anywhere, let alone in a region moving this fast."
This partnership deepens Cascade's presence in a market where leaders are being asked to deliver more, faster, and with clearer evidence of progress. For organizations that want the plan and the operation to be the same thing, Symbios and Cascade offer a practical way to get there.
