This week on the UAE Tech Podcast: New business services engineered and launched within days, rather than months. The idea that COVID-19 is forcing an adaptive response in which efficiency and speed are critical; & that empathy, particularly during challenging times, can be designed into a process.
In the UAE, a complex scenario in which government acts as a gravitational center for innovation, pushing a culture of progressive iteration and a demand for new services out into the rest of society.
Today we’re talking with Hamid Tamimi, Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton on what he describes as the ‘paradigm shift’ taking place across GCC economies, governments, and organizations. With a decade of consulting experience in the region, Hamid concisely describes several of the key patterns and trends at the center of the UAE Tech Podcast. The ‘Big Rethink’ is here, but predicting the next chapter isn’t always easy.
