Dubai Aluminium Company Limited (Dubal) has begun implementing a customised training initiative for its senior managers.

Titled the "Senior Leadership Masterclass", the training has been designed to meet the future requirements of Dubal leaders. A group of 28 senior managers attended the first, three-day module of the programme recently.

Speaking at the opening of the programme, Dubal CEO Abdulla Kalban, said: “Dubal has an exciting future, both within its smelter complex headquartered in Jebel Ali and through its new joint ventures with Mubadala Development Company in Abu Dhabi. It is, therefore, vital that we develop a bench of skilled and knowledgeable senior managers to help us take the company forward to the next level, by supporting and leading their respective teams appropriately. The Senior Leadership Masterclass is intended to fill this need.”

Ashridge Business School, has worked with Dubal to develop the course content and facilitate the training.

"Focusing on our in-depth experience of building strategic leadership capabilities for senior managers across the world, and our reputation as the Financial Times ranked No. 1 business school for tailored programmes in the UK, Ashridge is delighted to be working with Dubal - especially as it is one of the most respected and fastest growing aluminium producers in the world,” said Dr Jan Stiles, client director, Ashridge. - Trade Arabia News Service
