Learning is a vital foundation for innovation, growth and sustainable performance. In the GCC, where organisations are operating in rapidly transforming economies, the ability for both businesses – and the people within them – to learn fast has never been more critical. Developing national talent and supporting Emiratisation priorities make this agenda even more urgent in the UAE.

This event will explore the key elements of an effective learning ecosystem, and how to bring them together to maximise the strategic contribution of learning. We will consider how to align learning with business strategy, strengthen stakeholder engagement and governance, design learner-centric solutions, harness technology, foster a culture of continuous learning, and use data and evaluation to demonstrate impact. Attendees can expect practical insights and strategic challenge, with a focus on application within the regional business context.
