Gulf SoL promotes three main activities:

1) exploring core questions through dialogue,

2) expanding and deepening connections across the SoL community, and

3) building capacity through application and practice of organizational learning principles.

Core Questions

Gulf SoL promotes dialogue among leaders in the Gulf region around issues of deep importance to the broader community.

Through conferences like The Shaybah Café, The Hawar Dialogue, and The Jeddah Dialouge, we create a space for reflection and engagement around issues that matter. Through these we hope to create new cross-organizational projects for collaboration and positive change. Gulf SoL will actively support the development and progression of these projects by leveraging a global network of SoL members and practitioners.

Community Connections

Gulf SoL provides tools and convenes events to promote discovery and sharing of knowledge.

We support open collaboration and exchange between members though meetings and conferences, and through our website http://www.gulfsol.org. With online discussions, document sharing, event calendar, and member profiles, our website provides a virtual workspace for our communities to create and share knowledge.

Applied Learning

Gulf SoL builds capacity in the disciplines of organizational learning.

We promote the development of Gulf SoL members through support of ongoing projects and through workshops. Workshops are conducted by consultant members both as public offerings and as customized sessions for member organizations.

The following workshops are currently offered:

• Organizational Learning Core Competencies
• Visionary Leadership
• Systems Thinking
