The outcome of trading value between humans is a relationship of some sort. We all know that with better, more valuable relationships we can create more opportunity to grow, learn, add value and build an infinite array of possibilities. If you think differently about the concept of a ‘transaction’, there is far more involved if we are to achieve a suitable quality of experience for everyone and also respond to the desire for improved business performance.
The Academia of Excellence is a global initiative centred in the UAE. It is a showcase for the region, one that will position our nation as a thought leader in what it really means to deliver human centricity: To make every interaction an exchange of value.
The Academy portfolio is divided into two main categories: Education through a mix of informal workshops and formal academic training. Individually designed programmes of work based on specific aspects of human centricity and where we provide access to our expertise directly or indirectly via ‘on the ground’ partnerships. Contained within our values is a strong commitment to giving something back to society and humanity. We will find ways to contribute to selected causes, wherever possible partnering with business and government to add value by creating opportunity that would not otherwise be available.
No enterprise will achieve excellence if it doesn’t recognise what we’ve been speaking about so far and isn’t prepared to alter a myriad of things. Processes, systems, organisational design, culture and a whole lot more. But at the core of any of that lies the consciousness of those involved and the way they think.Illustration, Print
We aim to ultimately build a model for centres of excellence in human-centricity that can be deployed all over the world in the context of the individual culture of each region/geography.
