This paper sheds light on one of the key phases in the service contract of the international partnership between TBU in Saudi Arabia and George Washington University (GWU) in the US to develop a doctoral program of philosophy degree (PhD) in educational leadership and administration. The aim of the research was to evaluate the first workshop that took place over six working days in TBU. The first part of the study provides an executive summary of the workshop. The second part analyses the data collected from a questionnaire distributed to all workshop attendees. On the basis of the data, a summary of the main themes that arose in the workshop is provided, and the action items and priority areas that require further deliberation are identified and analyzed. Most respondents expressed interest in participating in future workshops and other joint projects between the two universities, and only two negative comments were recorded throughout the data. After sharing the results with team members, they commenced work to improve the program in all its aspects on the basis of the feedback received.
