  Welcome to today's discussion, everyone. We're
• 0:02
  exploring the Dubai It initiative today, a really
• 0:06
  powerful framework proving that ambition has
• 0:09
  absolutely no value without execution. Exactly.
• 0:13
  In this model, you see, success is measured by
• 0:16
  rapid, meticulous achievement. That's right,
• 0:20
  David. And the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority,
• 0:23
  or DEWA, provides the ultimate, well, practical
• 0:27
  model of this. Yeah. They basically transform
• 0:30
  ideas into pioneering projects. The organization's
• 0:34
  driving ethos captures this perfectly. It says,
• 0:38
  Wow. Whenever we believe that we have reached
• 0:47
  the summit, the initiatives of His Highness Sheikh
• 0:50
  Mohammed bin Rashid al -Maktoum open wider horizons,
• 0:54
  emphasizing that development is a continuous
• 0:57
  journey. Hmm. At Diwa, we translate this vision
• 1:02
  into transformational projects and measurable
• 1:05
  outcomes where time creates opportunities, ideas
• 1:09
  energize progress, and every achievement becomes
• 1:12
  the foundation for even greater accomplishments.
• 1:15
  You can actually see that exact foundation in
• 1:19
  their metrics. Right. Diwa ranks first globally
• 1:23
  in 13 key performance indicators. I mean, imagine
• 1:27
  this. The average customer loses electricity
• 1:29
  for only 49 seconds a year. Unbelievable! And
• 1:34
  grid network losses are at an unbelievable 2%.
• 1:38
  It really is a global benchmark. And this isn't
• 1:42
  accidental. You know, it requires strict methodology.
• 1:46
  Absolutely. As their operational mandate states,
• 1:50
  at Diwa, we adopt an integrated operational framework
• 1:54
  that combines clear vision, proactive planning,
• 1:57
  meticulous execution, and strategic partnerships
• 2:00
  to ensure measurable outcomes. Okay. We continue
• 2:05
  to implement projects that go beyond meeting
• 2:07
  Dubai's current demands to anticipating the needs
• 2:10
  of rapid economic and population growth, enhancing
• 2:14
  the Emirates' future readiness. You see that
• 2:16
  future readiness perfectly at the Mohammed bin
• 2:19
  Rashid al -Maktoum solar park. Yeah. By utilizing
• 2:23
  strategic public -private partnerships, they've
• 2:25
  actually pushed clean energy to over 21 % of
• 2:29
  Dubai's total mix today. Wow. So to wrap up,
• 2:33
  here's a question we'd really like you to think
• 2:36
  about. If true excellence is measured by the
• 2:38
  speed of execution, what ambitious idea in your
• 2:42
  own life do you need to finally put into action?
