Abu Dhabi: The Education Council here recently hosted a Strategy Implementation Symposium.

While giving a speech during the opening of the symposium, Al Khaili added: "Strategic planning is not a goal in itself, rather it is a tool to regulate government efforts, led by General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Executive Council, in developing the government of Abu Dhabi's institutional performance."
Dr David Norton of the US Palladium Group, discussed the numerous benefits of developing an economic vision that focuses on several objectives, including accelerating and promoting economic growth and sustainability, broadening the capital's enterprise base and enhancing productivity through social and human resources. Other key issues discussed were: improving infrastructure and environment, legislative reform, e-government initiatives, restructuring, and the participation of women in the social and economic life.
