Ashridge to discuss whether impact of face-to-face learning can be replicated in a virtual environment

Dubai, United Arab Emirates 18, May 2017

Ashridge Executive Education will showcase their latest research on ‘Developing Global Leaders in a Digital World’ during an event that will take place on the 25th of May at Hult Business School Campus, Dubai Internet City.

At the event, Sona Sherratt, a senior faculty member at Ashridge, UK, and one of the authors of the latest research report, will unveil the research findings, exploring the comparative impact of face-to-face, blended, and virtual learning and their impact on leadership development. As well as getting to know key research findings and its implications for organizations, the audience will also be presented some of the critical incidents used in the research.

Sherrat designs, teaches and directs on several global executive education programs with clients such as Swarovski, Avis, and Continental.

According to Sherrat, “One of the best ways to test beliefs and theories is by undertaking comprehensive, applied research projects, with real participants, in real time. Exploring the comparative impact of learning methodologies has aided Ashridge in gaining in-depth understanding of the future of leadership opportunities and challenges in the digitized world. Ourhalf day event in Dubai is designed to challenge oneself, explore this topic and learn how to apply the findings to an organization as well as network with peers.”

The free to attend event is only for those in organizations, actively involved in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Learning and Development. We hope this will facilitate a more relevant and stimulating conversation for our audience on the day.
