Cultural Considerations for GCC Business Presentations
Design Principles
- Conservative color palette: Deep blues, greens, gold, dark greens perform well
- Avoid red in KSA presentations (can signal danger/warning)
- Include Islamic geometric patterns subtly in backgrounds for traditional contexts
- High-quality imagery matters significantly in GCC business culture
Content Principles
- Relationship first: Include company history and credibility indicators early
- Vision alignment: Reference Vision 2030 (KSA), UAE Vision 2071, or Qatar NDS 2030 where relevant
- Hierarchy respect: Address senior decision-makers directly in the presentation language
- Proof points: GCC clients value case studies and references from similar regional organizations
Language Principles
- Use Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for formal documents
- Avoid slang or overly casual language
- Numbers: Eastern Arabic numerals for formal documents, Western for international
