From Training to Transformation

Authored by Dr. Laurence Brown, this paper examines the evolving challenges facing HR and L&D professionals in the GCC as organizations pursue Vision 2030 and ESG objectives. It critically assesses the inadequacy of traditional corporate training models in addressing the expectations of a multi-generational workforce and highlights the necessity of agile, coached facilitation as a timely, contextual, and learner-driven alternative. By situating workplace learning within broader socio-economic shifts, the paper provides both a conceptual framework and practical pathways for fostering sustainable organizational transformation.
