I ’ m just one key member of this multi-faceted transformation engine . We are at the cutting edge – in terms of both technology and ways of thinking – and we take that to our clients , so it ’ s really part of the company ’ s DNA .
Tell us about the Consultant Development Programme and Injaz ? How important is it to nurture Emirati talent and develop entrepreneurial spirit ? We , as a country , are going through an economic transformation – the strategy of the UAE is gearing towards the post-oil era , building economic diversification , and continuing to strengthen the knowledgebased economy . That ’ s why things such as Consultant Development Programme ( CDP ) and Injaz are so important , and that ’ s why we support and invest in them at Oliver Wyman .
The CDP for Emiratis is not just a training programme , it actually builds a bridge for Emiratis to join consulting . And it ’ s also an investment from Oliver Wyman into Emirati talent . Meanwhile , Injaz is an organisation that has done amazing work in supporting young entrepreneurs and instilling the spirit of entrepreneurship across the UAE . Oliver Wyman is a supporter of Injaz , and I ’ ve stepped into that role to be on their board – and I really appreciate being able to do such work .
