Breakfast club Testimonials |
 | Now I have learned more and clearly understand the principles behind diversity and inclusiveness and how it is being practiced by some companies and/ or leaders worldwide. And it is indeed a relief to know that effort towards this is now being done in Dubai both in the Public and Private sector arena. I would say that Dubai Knowledge Village Breakfast Club and the HR professional members have done a great job in making such forum on diversity and inclusiveness last 11th September 2007 a resounding success. In fact people who have the vision and values of diversity and inclusiveness can further propel any business entity and organization to succeed in all areas by utilizing human capital at the utmost. Kudos to the Dubai Knowledge Village Breakfast Club, and I look forward to more initiatives on diversity and inclusiveness here in Dubai and the greater GCC region! |

The people in the room were really interested and lively, giving good opinions and insight into the topics raised. The questions were challenging and stimulated an excellent discussion about the development of HR within Banking and Finance, especially given this region’s nuances. |

 | Thank you so much for this opportunity to update our knowledge in a convivial surrounding. I do believe the three presentations were of positive input. Changing mentality of the behavior of executive people is too subjective. To implement a partnership attitude, the only way is that the high management is involved 100% in the system by adding related issues in the mission statement of the company, setting criteria upon recruiting the staff, investing in training and developing the employees. However, only companies or individuals that are having already a similar attitude towards their partners are the only one succeeding.

 | I have heard numerous times about the DKV Breakfast Club event from most of the top executives in the country. One of my close friends and business partner who's office is at Dubai Knowledge Village for 6 years now, referred me and relayed the message that this an event that’s not to be missed. I am sure my line of work and business background would be an asset in the great network opportunities that you provide through your excellent reputation at the breakfast club. It would be a privilege and an honor if I would be invited to this great opportunity and event. |

 | Dear Partner Development Management Team, Thank you for holding yet another successful event, which I have found to offer more than addressing the issue being discussed by the panel of experts. The opportunity to meet people from all sectors and industries offers a snap shot of what is the happening in the Dubai and UAE market, in addition to learning from the past and finding methods of avoiding challenging situations; we also get an insight of what will be happening in the future. Top all that with the chance of meeting and networking with the ‘who is who’ in the city; I definitely look forward to attending future events.

 | I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the event.
First, the pre event process was well planned and effective; initial notification, simple on line registration and several well timed email reminders. The venue location was excellent, right next to DKV and in a 5 star hotel. The event itself was properly structured with a panel discussion followed by Q & A. But what was most entertaining (and informative) was how open, frank and insightful the discussion was, something that you don’t always see in Dubai. I was especially impressed by Sultan Soud Al Qassemi and Marios Maratheftis. The moderator Naser El Tibi did a splendid job and he was articulate, polite yet persistent and obviously knew the subject. I have been to many seminars and conferences in the region and this was one of the best. Keep up the excellent work. Suggestions? Just make it longer and not just half day; I didn’t want it to end!

 | It was my great pleasure to attend the Dubai Knowledge Village Breakfast Club. This event provided me with a good opportunity to over look the current economic situation. Dubai Knowledge Village provided us with a good platform to meet other business people under one roof. The special panel discussion which was conducted by leading economists, leads us to make better decisions with clear economic positioning. The Breakfast club event was very impressive and informative. |
