MBRPLD has invited Kazuo Tanigawa to introduce to the Young Leaders participants some of the successful HR practices and strategies that have helped establish Toshiba as one of the world's leading business organisations. The Blue Ocean Forum has been developed as one of the key components of the Young Leaders Program, which is a level of MBRPLD that aims to qualify young leaders through training programs and workshops in line with the strategic plans and long-term aspirations of Dubai.

Adel Al Shared, CEO of MBRPLD, said:
"We have prepared a very exciting session for the Blue Ocean Forum to kick start our activities for the new year, as participants of the Young Leaders level will have a rare opportunity to discuss leadership strategies with one of the most widely experienced and successful corporate executives. Mr. Tanigawa has been with Toshiba for nearly 40 years and has witnessed its ascent to be one of the world's leading high-technology firms. His vast experience in handling various senior-level positions will be highly invaluable as he shares his expertise and knowledge to the Young Leaders participants."


Sultan Lotah, participant said, "Toshiba has successfully distinguished itself as one of the leading innovators and successful business organisations in the world. It would be interesting for us to know more about the company's corporate practices and strategies, particularly in the area of HR administration."
