Dubai Quality Group (DQG) recently concluded its annual general meeting and elected the board of directors for 2016 to 2018. Fatma Al Mheiri was elected the new chairwoman of DQG.
The nominated members from DQG's member organisations were elected as per the group's constitution. DQG's financial results for 2015 were presented to the group members for their review.
In 2015, Dubai Quality Group, a self-financing, non-profit organisation set up by the Dubai Department of Economic Development, set new benchmarks in innovation and creativity for the upcoming years.
In line with the Dubai government's vision to transform the emirate into a global centre for innovation, DQG has taken a pragmatic approach to foster a culture of innovation and enhance competitiveness of the business community.
The Group's new target is to integrate "learning" as the key focus within the organisation and deploy innovation in achieving progress in the community.
Dr Yousef Al Akraf, chairman, Dubai Quality Group, said: "Innovation is the key to a prosperous and profitable organisation. If we do not experiment and adopt new methods, we deprive ourselves from progress."
Al Mheiri said: "We will implement new and effective projects and remain committed to be a centre of knowledge sharing for all topics relating to quality and business excellence."
