Investing in our people
2021 also witnessed the conclusion of our comprehensive corporate restructuring exercise, which kickstarted in 2019 as part of the ongoing execution of ICD’s refreshed strategy. As the most critical input into our business, human capital is not only about building
a productive and skilful workforce, but also enabling them to manage emerging risks and opportunities. We worked hard at fostering a nurturing environment that will allow our people to seamlessly realize organisational needs and aspirations, while also valuing their own personal and professional growth. I believe this new blueprint will enable us to focus on the key areas needed to transform our organization to achieve
greater success.
Better days ahead
While we continue to navigate the new normal, the future will see us growing stronger and better, even
if uncertainties continue on a global level. In the long term, we at ICD aim to bring about a systemic change in the way the private sector is involved in the global development agenda as there is still much to do. This is the moment to use our unique capacity to work across boundaries, connecting capital, people, ideas and best practices, both locally and globally.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely
extend my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to our former Group President, H.E. Dr. Bandar Hajjar, for his invaluable guidance during his years of remarkable service. I wish him all the best and every success in his future endeavours. To our new Group President, H.E. Dr. Muhammad Al Jasser, I am positive that his strong leadership will take the IsDB Group to new heights. He most definitely has ICD’s utmost support and dedication in achieving the new, articulated aspirations of the IsDB Group, and we at ICD look forward to being involved in every step of the way with renewed vigour. I would also like to thank our Board of Executive Directors--as always, I am grateful for your continued support which has been invaluable to the many successes we have enjoyed to date.
To the entire ICD family: Let’s not lose sight of our purpose and our fulfilling mission of supporting and developing the private sector as a powerful engine for inclusive growth and stability. I am humbled by some of the stories of how my colleagues are ensuring exceptional continuity of service to our clients in often difficult circumstances, and I have no doubt that they will continue to go the extra mile to make
a positive difference.
All the best for the coming year and I wish you all the possible success, In Sha Allah.
Faithfully,
Ayman Amin M. Sejiny
