SALEH JANEEH CHAIRMAN DUBAI QUALITY GROUP
SUNIL THAWANI CHAIRMAN CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT SUBGROUP
The changes in business environment are becoming more frequent, complex and challenging as they used to be in last two decades. These scenarios of change are putting businesses and its people under tremendous pressure to do more with less. For the organizations to remain competitive and profitable, the leaders and managers need to learn and deploy the best-in-class strategies for innovative, incremental and breakthrough enhancements while institutionalizing the culture of continual improvement and innovation. 3rd Continual Improvement Symposium which is scheduled to be held in Dubai on 17th November 2011, aims to bring together the organizations to share their successful practical case studies on improvements and innovation. It will also bring learned and renowned overseas speakers to share their experience in institutionalizing improvement and innovation avoiding pitfalls on the way.
On behalf of Continual Improvement subgroup, organizers of this event, I invite you to attend this unique event, share best practices, learn and improve your business performance.
One of the missions of Continual Improvement subgroup is to encourage organizations improve their business performance, institutionalize improvements and create a culture of continual improvement. To help achieve our mission, in 2009, we launched the Continual Improvement Symposium and invited organizations to participate in a first ever live competition of improvement case studies in Dubai, UAE. Encouraged by the demand, success of earlier years and above all to raise the bar, this year we have decided to open the competition to organizations outside of UAE too. On behalf of Continual Improvement subgroup, I invite you to use this forum to showcase your improvement case studies, be recognized as one of the winners and also learn from winning practices of other organizations.
