Forum to help improve policies

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Programme for Leadership Development (MBRPLD), an innovative leadership program designed to develop future national leaders capable of promoting the sustainable development of Dubai, has announced that it has recently launched Dubai Policy Watch Forum, which is one of the periodic activities under its Government Leaders Programme.

The forum has been designed to help participants create development plans, while it also provides a global perspective of Dubai's government policies, industrial and other sectoral performance and the activities of local and multinational companies.

The forum also tackles various challenges and opportunities faced by incumbent and future leaders of the society.

The inaugural session of the forum was attended by Duke Corporate Education CEO Kim Taylor-Thompson, one of the world's leading figures in the area of leadership development.

The forum generated strong interest from the participants.

"The forum will provide a tremendous boost in the know-how and professional expertise of the participants as policy making is one of the major areas of concern once they assume their leadership roles," said MBRPLD Director Adel Al Shared.
