BAPCO president Dr Mustafa Al Sayed has been awarded the Robert Adams Medal by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).

The award is in recognition of his contribution in enhancing management science and human resources development.
The presentation was held at a ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel and Spa which, was attended by RCSI officials and Shura Council chairman Dr Faisal Al Mousawi.
Dr Al Sayed received the award from RCSI president Professor Niall O'Higgins.
Following the presentation, Dr Al Sayed gave a lecture on his management theories, namely, MOSIF and CREAMOC.
MOSIF (Mission, Objective, Strategy, Implementation and Feedback) and CREAMOC (Creativity, Motivation and Organisational Culture) are the management terms coined by Dr Al Sayed after years of extensive research.
He highlighted the key elements of successful organisations.
"During the last century management focus has been on human behaviour, work environment and conditions," said Dr Al Sayed.
"To achieve organisational success in the new millennium, we need to focus on people, machine and business processes in an integrated cohesive management framework."
Dr Al Sayed concluded, based on his research, that company's performance improve when:
• Creativity is a tool that individuals and organisations could be trained to use;
• The power of "group creativity" that can be achieved through teamwork and committees is even more effective.
"The research demonstrates clearly that, CREAMOC, the combined and inter-related effects of creativity, motivation and positive culture is a powerful tool for the transformation of an organisation," said Dr Al Sayed.
"This, together with MOSIF, provide a significant contribution to the field of management."
The ultimate analysis shows that when an organisational culture is transformed, where the workforce is motivated and creativity is nurtured, business performance is bound to improve, said Dr Al Sayed.
The previous recipient of this prestigious award in Bahrain was former Health and Education Minister Dr Ali Fakhro in 1998.
