hen learning talent and erformance connect: KAUST’s Precision Learning model in partnership with Thinqi


At King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, leadership development across a workforce of more than 100 nationalities demanded more than generic training. Working with Thinqi, KAUST built a closed-loop system connecting evaluation, learning and measurement in a single cycle, an approach the team now calls Precision Learning.


One of the world’s leading research universities, KAUST’s cultural richness sets an extraordinarily high bar for leadership, and the institution’s existing approach to developing its leaders was no longer fit for urose.
