ALLEEM KNOWLEDGE CENTER
It gives me great pleasure to write about my experience in the field of quality education—it is the Alleem Knowledge Center, my brainchild. For almost two decades now, the Alleem Knowledge Center, which is based in Sharjah, UAE, founded by me in September 2001, has been at the forefront of the real-world applications of cutting-edge thinking in organizational development, leadership, innovation, and change.
PROFESSIONALS CLUB
The seeds of the Alleem Knowledge Center were sown in 2001, when I felt the need to bridge the communication gap in business matters between the UAE business leadership and almost 200 business expatriates with different nationalities living in the UAE by bringing them together in a common platform. The Professionals Club was a platform that met once a week on Tuesday evenings after work hours, where local managers and leaders exchanged thoughts and ideas and shared knowledge, which served as the basis on which the Alleem Knowledge Center was founded. The center now hosts more than 100 nationalities, deliberating and debating on various management and leadership-related issues.
Today, the institution is the UAE’s most respected nonprofit center for cutting-edge thinking, best learning practices, and research on advanced business management and attracts the brightest and most influential minds in academia and business.
