Baldrige International: Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

My ties to Dubai include conducting a joint EFQM and Baldrige Best Practices Seminar. The interest of the participants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain led to several enjoyable consulting experiences including 14 visits and more than 20 weeks working in the Gulf States since that seminar. The thumbnail photo below was taken at that eventful seminar as was the photo of the ornate camel.
