The future emerges from the conversations we share. For thousands of years, our people have gathered. . . around campfires, in the majlis, and in cafes. . . to listen, talk, reflect, and envision future possibilities. As leaders in the business and academic communities, we play an especially important role in shaping the future. As we explore new ways to meet the economic and social challenges that confront us all, our conversations can be catalysts for positive change.

On , the Gulf Chapter of the Society for Organizational Learning (Gulf SoL) hosted a unique learning experience on Hawar Island, Bahrain. Participants engaged in open conversations and reflective dialogues facilitated by Dr. Peter Senge, the internationally renowned strategist and leadership consultant. The forum also presented cutting-edge tools and methods for embedding learning in the work of our organizations.

The theme of the event was How can we—the Gulf community—prosper in the global economy while sustaining our local traditions? The forum provided a unique opportunity for a diverse group of business leaders, educators, and thought leaders from the Gulf to network, reflect, and learn together while defining a collective vision of the future.

Society for Organizational Learning (SoL)
SoL is an international learning community whose purpose is to promote the interdependent development of people and their organizations. SoL was created to connect organizations, researchers, and consultants to generate capacity for fundamental innovation and change.
The Gulf SoL chapter supports this purpose through three main activities:

	Promoting dialogue among leaders in the public and private sectors of the Gulf region around issues of deep importance to our broader community.
	Building capacity in the disciplines of organizational learning to help members expand their capacity to learn from each other.
	Providing tools to promote the creation and sharing of knowledge among members.
