The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) launched a first-of-its-kind ‘MBRF Manual for ISO Integrated Knowledge
Management, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Standards.’ The manual aims to drive government and commercial excellence and achieve
integration between knowledge, innovation, AI, and smart technologies, in line with MBRF’s ongoing efforts to support sustainable economic through
technological leadership.

Furthermore, the Integrated Manual offers ways to merge the three key internationally accredited standards, namely, ISO 30401 (Knowledge
Management Systems), ISO 56001 (Innovation Management Systems), and ISO 42001 (AI Management Systems), marking a crucial milestone in the
development of advanced management systems. The manual also addresses complex challenges faced by organizations in the digital age, particularly
in regard to the management of expansive datasets, the urgent need for innovation and the burgeoning role of AI in enhancing services.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: “This trailblazing step highlights our keen awareness of the integral link between
knowledge management, innovation, and artificial intelligence, which are the primary enablers of institutional success in the digital era. The manual’s
launch symbolizes the establishment of an integrated management system. By aligning key aspects like operational management with this robust
framework, entities can streamline crucial processes and foster a culture of innovation, while leveraging AI ethically and effectively.”

His Excellency further stated: “The manual highlights the UAE’s long-standing vision to nurture a knowledge-based economy with a global
competitive edge, thereby enhancing efficiency and opportunities. Hence, we view technology not merely as a strategic tool but as a gateway to a
better future shaped by highly integrated and innovative management ecosystems.”

The manual is based on the Integrated Management System (IMS), which brings multiple management systems under a unified framework to elevate
operational efficiency, streamline procedures, and achieve institutional integration, while ensuring auditing and regulatory compliance. Notably, this is
the world’s first-ever manual to successfully combine these three ISO standards into a single document, underscoring MBRF’s leadership in creating
new models for managing knowledge-based institutions.
