Dubai / WAM

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) recently organised workshops to review strategies, and cascaded each division’s strategic plans and Balanced Scorecards within DEWA’s corporate strategy.
The first workshop, held in cooperation between DEWA’s Strategy and Business Development and other divisions, took place in May. “Strategy is the cornerstone of our success and the means by which we can achieve our vision to become a sustainable innovative world-class utility.
This year, we are focusing on cascading DEWA’s strategy based on the fourth-generation government excellence system. This supports the directives of Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai,His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to implement this system across all Dubai Government organisations,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA.
He continued, “The fourth generation of the government excellence system will upgrade government work, based on innovative standards to achieve the Dubai Plan 2021. It focuses on the results as a basis for excellence in government performance and services in three main areas: achievement of the vision, innovation, and enablers. This in turn, achieves the highest rates of people’s happiness.”
Al Tayer added, “All of DEWA’s divisions and departments contribute to achieving DEWA’s vision, which supports the Dubai Plan 2021 and the national agenda of the UAE Vision 2021. The strategy-cascading workshops reflect DEWA’s commitment to best practices in strategic planning and implementation. Leadership and innovation are key components in DEWA’s growth and development as a strategy-focused organisation. This supports Dubai’s directives and aspirations to achieve sustainable development, and promotes the Emirate’s position as a global hub for trade, finance, and tourism.”
