Training center aims to provide advanced courses utilizing internationally renowned experts in various professional fields. Currently, most courses held in Kuwait are conducted by local and international trainers with limited expertise due to the high and unjustifiable costs that would occur if more experienced trainers carry out those training programs.
By accommodating the trainer at the centre, and with the provision of adequate-sized training halls, in-house catering, the end-user will pay less for more value. In addition, the training resource center will be a hub for trainers and academics that can develop new programs customized to local needs.

This paper is part of a thought leadership series dedicated to ensuring Australia and its next generation of leaders remains fit for the future. Reforming international financial regulation details how regulation is being reformed internationally. The global economic downturn uncovered severe weaknesses in the international framework of regulation and it is paramount that Australia moves with best practice to ensure its regulation architecture remains viable. To achieve this there needs to be a subtle calibration between efficiency and stability – a delicate mix but critical to the future evolution of Australia’s financial services industry.
Australia will face many challenges in financial regulation over the coming decades. Reforming
international financial regulation represents a building block to a greater level of understanding of the international trends and how Australia is placed internationally.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
