Learning that holds up at work

Every program follows the same three commitments, so what participants learn shows up in their decisions afterwards.

Taught by practitioners

Sessions are led by directors, executives and specialists who have carried the decisions they teach.

Learned on real work

Participants apply each idea to a live challenge from their own organization, with a sponsor following results.

Measured for impact

Each program sets five levels of impact targets, from session ratings to the return on the investment.

Women in Leadership

A dedicated track for Omani women leaders

Oman Vision 2040 asks for more women in leadership and on boards. NALI built a full track for that goal, with programs for board candidates, senior leaders and young women starting out.

  • A fellowship for senior women leaders
  • An accelerator for young women leaders
