Accord on quality awareness inked

Set up in 1994 by Dubai’s Department for Economic Development, under the patronage of Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the Dubai Quality Group offers many services to its more than 1,500 member professionals and 300 member organisations, with the objective of improving quality standards in both public and private sector organisations.

The initiative is expected to promote quality management and excellence as a key competitive differentiator for private companies and government establishments assisting in the achievement of the vision of the country’s leaders. The partnership with the University of Wollongong in Dubai is a unique relationship between the industry and the academia.

The University of Wollongong in Dubai, with over 2,200 students from 80 countries, will share its research and training expertise with DQG and its members.

At the same time, the DQG will provide industry feedback to the university for continuous improvement with regard to its Master of Quality Management programme and the relevance of the curriculum to the work environment.
