Transformation through revolutionary changes, rather than through an evolutionary process, is increasingly shaping the global higher education scene. Universiti. Brunei Darussalam (UBD), as an exemplary institution in Brunei, has over the years reformed its core activities and focus, in line with changes in technology, and already implemented several game changing initiatives to respond to higher expectations and changing demands from a wide and diverse group of stakeholders. Little or no research has been done to understand and analyse the extent and challenges of transformational change in UBD. The impact on organisational learning and performance with emphasis on global skills and restructuring of curricula will re-shape the global higher education market.
