behavioural competency assessments, ensuring that government entities are prepared to meet future
demands. The initiative is closely aligned with the strategic vision of our wise leadership, prioritising

partners in developing a dynamic and innovative government work environment. They embody the highest
standards of professional excellence, demonstrating the ability to make meaningful impact through

scientifically validated assessment tools and internationally recognised benchmarks. Their contributions

which underscores our shared commitment to strengthening government capabilities and promoting data-

driven institutional development. Throughout the program, we witnessed a strong enthusiasm from
participants to adopt advanced assessment technologies and international best practices, which will result
in the continued progress of Dubai Government's transformation efforts.”

“This collaboration reflects our vision as a global leader in talent analytics, where building a smart and
innovative government begins with unlocking and harnessing human potential. In line with this vision, we
reaffirm our strong commitment to supporting Dubai Economic Agenda D33 by providing government

entities with the knowledge, tools, and technologies essential for identifying, developing, and retaining the
talent that will drive the economy of the future. We look forward to expanding this partnership through
more advanced, results-oriented training programs that will further strengthen Dubai’s position as a global
