MBRF's Dubai International Program for Writing launches ‘Book Criticism' workshop in Jordan - Middle East Business News and Information
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) launched a training workshop titled 'Book Criticism Workshop,' which will be held in Jordan under the Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW), one of MBRF's flagship initiatives. The workshop aligns with DIPW's objective to nurture Arab talents, refine their skills, and prepare them to actively develop and disseminate knowledge. The key goal of the workshop is to develop participants' capabilities, further enhancing their reading and writing proficiency in literary narration and criticism. The workshop has been designed to equip talents with tools to master four levels of reading: elementary, inspectional, analytical, and Syntopical reading. Furthermore, the workshop aims to refine participants' writing performance across diverse forms, from artistic summaries and book reviews to article and report writing, while guiding them in preparing study outlines, drafting research papers, and authoring books using a methodical and well-structured approach. Dr. Jamal Maqableh, workshop instructor and professor of Arabic literature and criticism at the Hashemite University in Jordan, said: 'This motivational workshop is a part of MBRF's constant efforts to empower and support literature enthusiasts. It offers the younger generation an exceptional opportunity to develop their skills and broaden their intellectual horizons, which will further enable them to reach higher level of skill and creativity. In addition to offering a set of useful tools and techniques, the workshop provides an opportunity to interact with authors, writers, and literary figures and gain insights from their experience and knowledge, which will help them better differentiate between different literary forms, genres, and fields as well as different levels, styles, and orientations of writers.' This edition of the workshop is unique in incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which are now prominent for their capability to accelerate recall, documentation, and text generation, despite these technologies' inability to perform deep critical analysis. These tools help reduce workload by managing a significant portion of preliminary tasks, enabling researchers to work at a more advanced level. This ensures that investing in these capabilities can redefine the boundaries of intellectual creativity in the AI era. The workshop encompasses reading books, presentations, discussions, debates, follow-ups, and viewing and listening to relevant recordings. Moreover, it aims to equip participants with the requisite skills for deep reading and precise writing through an integrated training regimen that progresses through successive stages, from comprehension to critical evaluation. Additionally, the workshop focuses on training participants in diverse critical methodologies, including classical criticism and contemporary movements, as well as expanding the study of literary theory, the philosophy of criticism, and its multiple applications. In addition, the workshop provides participants with exceptional opportunities to hone their skills in text summarization and analysis, as well as in writing articles, reports, critical reviews, and research proposals, while adhering to linguistic, stylistic, and organizational standards. The workshop also includes hands-on training in using AI throughout all stages of reading and writing, not to mention fostering the development of a 'productive dialogue' between humans and machines. This integrated approach not only enhances the participants' abilities to engage with texts but also helps reshape the dynamic between readers and texts in the digital era. Moreover, the workshop prioritizes reading and critiquing books, presentations, and studies, particularly emphasizing the works of Emirati and GCC authors. It also explores contemporary literary and intellectual topics tied to cultural transformations in the Arab world. At the workshop's conclusion, participants will submit their works, which include articles, studies, reports, and research, all of which will be fully developed, refined, and prepared for publication through both individual and collaborative efforts.

The world's first manual integrating ISO standards for knowledge, innovation, and AI launched by MBRF
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) launched a first-of-its-kind 'MBRF Manual for ISO Integrated Knowledge Management, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Standards.' The manual aims to drive government and commercial excellence and achieve integration between knowledge, innovation, AI, and smart technologies, in line with MBRF's ongoing efforts to support sustainable economic through technological leadership. Furthermore, the Integrated Manual offers ways to merge the three key internationally accredited standards, namely, ISO 30401 (Knowledge Management Systems), ISO 56001 (Innovation Management Systems), and ISO 42001 (AI Management Systems), marking a crucial milestone in the development of advanced management systems. The manual also addresses complex challenges faced by organizations in the digital age, particularly in regard to the management of expansive datasets, the urgent need for innovation and the burgeoning role of AI in enhancing services. His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: 'This trailblazing step highlights our keen awareness of the integral link between knowledge management, innovation, and artificial intelligence, which are the primary enablers of institutional success in the digital era. The manual's launch symbolizes the establishment of an integrated management system. By aligning key aspects like operational management with this robust framework, entities can streamline crucial processes and foster a culture of innovation, while leveraging AI ethically and effectively.' His Excellency further stated: 'The manual highlights the UAE's long-standing vision to nurture a knowledge-based economy with a global competitive edge, thereby enhancing efficiency and opportunities. Hence, we view technology not merely as a strategic tool but as a gateway to a better future shaped by highly integrated and innovative management ecosystems.' The manual is based on the Integrated Management System (IMS), which brings multiple management systems under a unified framework to elevate operational efficiency, streamline procedures, and achieve institutional integration, while ensuring auditing and regulatory compliance. Notably, this is the world's first-ever manual to successfully combine these three ISO standards into a single document, underscoring MBRF's leadership in creating new models for managing knowledge-based institutions. During the launch, MBRF announced a comprehensive training program for government departments, aimed at empowering them to obtain various ISO certifications. The program provides an overview of the three standards, the interrelation between knowledge, innovation, and AI, along with practical training on designing integrated management systems tailored to specific organizational needs. The comprehensive training program will also explore strategies for developing operational policies and procedures, as well as promoting quality, institutional performance, and global competitiveness principles. The program will be supervised by MBRF's Chief Knowledge, Innovation and AI Advisor. MBRF is one of the first organizations to have created such a role. The manual serves as a powerful strategic tool for institutions to build smart and flexible operational systems that can keep pace with ongoing trends led by digital transformation and the growth of the knowledge-based economy, while meeting future demands. It also contributes to the objectives of the 'UAE Centennial 2071' and Dubai Government's digitalization initiatives by embracing the principles of integration, innovation, and the ethical use of AI in policy and public service design. Furthermore, the manual acts as an open invitation to both public and private sector entities to transition from traditional administrative models to more cohesive and proactive ecosystems.
