Criticisms
Service
Arrowad Group has a number of companies working on consultation, training, continuous improvement, information technology and media in the Middle East and North Africa. Continual improvement using KAIZEN methodology has been the focus of Arrowad Group for the past several years. They believe that KAIZEN and similar approaches will help transforming economies such as the Saudi economy via KSA's national transformation program[10] achieve more effective spending as a central objective in the government Vision2030.[11]
