In 1972, the business which now operates under the name Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAG-Org) and realizes the vision of its founder HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh started as a firm of public accountants, audit and financial services to the business community in the Arabian Gulf. The area was witnessing a phenomenal transformation at the time. The development process which was set in motion about a decade earlier had gained a decisive momentum, fostered by soaring oil revenues. Like legendary boom towns of fact and fiction, the whole region was a beehive of activity. Trade was brisk, construction work wide-spread and social change was sweeping through the land. While the infrastructure was being laid to cater to the needs of a modern society, sophistication was making itself conspicuous. New demands emerged on the local business scene, new attitudes and new requirements arose. Total reliance on good business sense alone had to bow to in-depth investigations, studies, forecasts and strategic frameworks. In banking, industry and the investment world new leadership approaches were sprouting. Espousal of modern business techniques was the order of the day.
