The benchmark for Dubai's best-led organisations.

What BRAVOS is

• Register your company. The assessment tools, the monthly Labs, OFF RECORD and the community come with it.
• Measure. Your people answer anonymously. Your leadership team answers the same questions separately. You see the distance between the two, your score across the seven areas that decide how a company is led, and where you stand against companies like yours.
• Write your case. What you measured, what you decided to do about it, and what happened. You have to write a plan for January anyway.
• Pitch it live to the jury. We help you build the pitch, and the jury is there to understand what you did, not to catch you out.
• Win an award. The top 50 is announced and the winners are recognised publicly with a Bravos Award.

Not an HR conference. Not an award you can buy. Not a networking club.

Belgian companies have used Bravos since 2020. Dubai is the first edition built for this city, by the same team.

What CEOs say about BRAVOS.

Bravos operates under full confidentiality: the scan, assessment, conversations and findings.

"It told us things the board had stopped being able to name."

"For 2 years our board had been circling something about how our leadership team communicated down into the company. Nobody could quite say what it was. The Bravos assessment said it in a single paragraph. That paragraph changed how we run our monthly all-hands."

"We changed how we budget because of what we measured."

"After our first Bravos cycle we cut a line item we'd defended for years, and added one we'd been avoiding. Neither decision was Bravos's idea. But both of them were impossible without the data we got from the assessment. The company is different now."
