Government excellence
Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director-General, GDRFA Dubai, said the Forum will take GDRFA’s efforts to the next level in implementing its comprehensive development strategy in line with the Dubai Government Excellence Strategy, which was approved in December 2022, to apply best practices and achieve the highest standards of organisational agility.
The event’s “why” pillar of institutional agility encompasses the principles of prioritising customer service, dealing with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, and promoting freedom, flexibility, and agility. Moreover, the “what” pillar addresses specific areas and capabilities and the differences in government capabilities. Meanwhile, the “how” pillar focuses on how to change the culture, promote, and measure organisational agility.
