Define Properties Confirms Intent with Appointment of World Leading Consultancy
Harrington Middle East
Recently launched property development company, Define Properties, has assigned specialist international consulting group, Harrington Middle East, to assist the company in redefining the property development practice and increase its organizational performance.
Define Properties officially launched early last month, announcing that it had sold its first complete project, off plan, after enabling works had begun, vowing that it was here to do “the right things, the right way”.
President and CEO of Define Properties Tarek Kandil says that Harrington Middle East’s appointment reinforces Define Properties’ strategy in the market and positions it as more than just another Dubai based property developer.
“We entered the market this month with a stated vision of doing the right things, the right way. Our signing with Harrington Middle East is the first step towards confirming that we intend to back our words up with solid actions and execution mechanisms,” says Kandil.
“As a first move since our Corporate Launch, we will work on building and strengthening our internal systems before we move onto anything else.”
“Harrington Middle East, headed by Dr. James Harrington, is one of the most respected and highly regarded consultants providing consultation on performance management and business excellence. With the Harrington team on board we will be sure to do the right things, the right way.”
Harrington Middle East is to provide Define Properties with a full range of services including performance management and knowledge solutions. Together with Define Properties, Harrington Middle East will revise the business cycle to balance between speeding up the development process and achieving the best quality of deliverables.
It is believed that excellent knowledge management will be a key to the breakthrough approach that Define Properties is engaged in with its desire to be the most competent real estate developer in the UAE.
As CEO of Harrington Middle East, Dr. James Harrington believes that Define Properties’ “well thought out approach to property development management is very much in line with Harrington Middle East’s approach to effective and efficient management of processes”.
“I have reached a point in life where I can be very selective about the assignments that I accept,” he says. “I only accept those assignments I believe will break new ground and embrace creative open minded concepts, that add real value to the consumers and investors.”
“During my many conversations with Tarek Kandil, he has convinced me that he wants to challenge the paradigms that the property development community has been following. He wants to set new benchmarks in providing high quality projects in record building time, at reasonable costs.”
“Both of us are committed to doing the right things right, every time,” adds Dr. Harrington.
