The wise vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai provide the roadmap that guides us in our efforts to achieve the highest levels of quality and excellence in all areas of our work. We are inspired by the words of His Highness: The government of the future competes with and surpasses the private sector in service quality. We want our government to welcome customers more professionally than hotels; we want our government to manage processes better than banks. We also work to achieve the UAE Vision 2021, to make the UAE one of the best countries in the world by 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021 for the Government of Dubai to be pioneering and excellent, proactive, and creative in meeting the needs of individuals and society as a whole, said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA.
