Dubai, UAE [19th Nov, 2025] — Biz Group, the Middle East’s leading learning and development organisation, has announced an exclusive regional partnership with The Josh Bersin Company, the world’s most trusted human capital advisory firm. This collaboration brings Galileo™ Suite, the global AI-powered knowledge and productivity platform for HR and L&D professionals, to the Middle East for the first time, along with access to The Josh Bersin Company’s world-renowned research, advisory, and professional development resources.

Empowering Middle East HR and L&D Leaders with Global Intelligence

Galileo Agent is the world’s first AI powered expert assistant for HR, pretrained on 25 years of The Josh Bersin Company research and enriched by trusted partner data, giving HR and L&D teams evidence-based answers, frameworks, and benchmarks on demand. Powered by Sana’s enterprise AI platform, Galileo provides secure, enterprise grade access to Josh Bersin Company’s research, tools, and case studies, and enables organisations to add their own content to create private HR assistants.

With a growing shift from course centric learning to dynamic, AI first enablement, Galileo Agent and Galileo Learn help organisations deliver personalised, inflow learning, simulations, and coaching tightly integrated with work and knowledge management.

“The partnership with The Josh Bersin Company marks a major milestone in advancing how Middle East organisations learn, lead, and perform,” said Hazel Jackson, CEO of Biz Group. “Our shared mission is to help businesses build human capabilities that drive measurable impact. By bringing Galileo to the region, we are enabling HR and L&D professionals to make smarter, faster, evidence-based decisions that truly move the needle.”

What Galileo and JBC bring to clients

  • Instant, trusted answers and strategic guidance across all areas of HR, with citations and source links, trained on the largest curated HR corpus and on trusted partner data.
  • Evidence-based benchmarking and maturity models to assess and improve HR, L&D, leadership, wellbeing, and employee experience—plus intelligent benchmarking agents to generate action plans.
  • Talent intelligence and labor market insights: skills, jobs, and salary data from Lightcast; turnover benchmarks from Visier; global employment practices from Oyster—all embedded in Galileo.
  • AI-first learning and enablement: Galileo delivers dynamic, interactive, hyper-personalised learning experiences. Organisations can also integrate proprietary content for company-specific academies and programs.

Uniting global research, trusted benchmarks, and local expertise to accelerate workforce transformation.

The partnership comes at a critical time as countries across the GCC invest heavily in workforce development under national transformation visions such as Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE National AI Strategy. Organisations are seeking innovative ways to build skills, leadership, and productivity at scale.

By combining The Josh Bersin Company’s global research and AI technology with Biz Group’s local expertise and human-led delivery, the partnership bridges the gap between global best practice and regional execution.

“We are delighted to partner with Biz Group to bring our research, insights, and technology to one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving regions in the world,” said Josh Bersin, CEO of The Josh Bersin Company. “The Middle East is on a fast track to becoming a global hub for innovation, and this collaboration will support organisations in building the skills and systems needed for long-term growth.”
