    THE CORPORATE CAPABILITIES

    Overture

    I want to make this introduction as brief as possible. Our concern mentioned in our motto breaks down into a trilogy:

    • Personnel training for better skills and superior motivation,
    • Organizational development and support,
    • & Executive profiling and recruitment.


    Taking a closer look, we see that the Middle East markets moved from a welcoming stage to a near-saturated filtering stage. At this point, weak contestants started to fall back on the race: It is the fittest that proceeds. With this in mind, the continuous improvement at both technical and human fronts is a must. But how can we go around this costly process?
    If asked in the beginning of the eighties, this question would be answered by "Strategic Planning". Nowadays, the solution must be returned to where it can excel, at the executive level. Aggressive young professionals, with strategic long-term visions and hands-on experience have to operate, control, fine-tune, and evaluate the operation of the enterprises: A dynamic maestro, at the heart of the orchestra.

    With this kept in mind, we conceived the following presentation of our group.

    Looking forward for a fruitful and long-term relationship, we wish you nothing but the very best.

    Our Profile…


    The "young urban professionals" is a young organization made possible through the association of old-timers and experts in their fields. The idea started in 1990 as an informal strategic cooperation amongst the associates. As the group interacted and worked in togetherness, the need to be incorporated was made clearer. After having cumulated enough market expertise and Academic luggage, the associates decided to go into a Ltd. liability structure with a L.L. 40,000,000 capital.

    Established in 1999, the Y.U.P. is a Lebanese owned company providing Training and Consulting Services in Lebanon and the Middle East region.
    Our corporate baggage assures a thorough understanding and know-how of the latest management schools enabling top-ranked employees of SME/SMI1 to achieve the highest level of workplace efficiency in an ever-increasing competitive information technology driven environment.

    To meet the most demanding of the corporate expectations, Y.U.P. ensures that our associates continually upgrade their skills and certification levels in the latest technologies and innovations. Our programs are constantly updated with the introduction of new technologies that provides for ongoing professional development. This enables Y.U.P. to provide quality and consistency in personnel training and organizational development.

    Y.U.P. 's commitment to working with corporate objectives and defining job requirements makes possible the formulation of a clearly defined course outline for organizations to place, prioritize, and quantify the costs and benefits of the Y.U.P. interventions.

    Curiosity

    Our Name

    The "Yuppies"3 fad started in the states during the eighties with a negative connotation. Young people from distant areas migrated to big cities, where they worked in almost anything to get their academic degrees. Upon graduating, their ambition made them work b/w 18 & 22 hours per day (which we are doing :). On the verge of the nineties, the "yuppies" were in control of the top positions in leading US corporations.
    It is in tribute to these people that we named our group, proudly shouting "Le dernier cri".

    Our Motto

    "your business is our concern". This is truly the essence of our mission. We are looking for integrated solutions for companies that will help bring harmony and security to their operation.
