Program Professional Framework
HR Role in Innovation and Creative Thinking
Program Overview
Innovation depends on people practices: who is hired, how ideas are rewarded, whether mistakes are tolerated and how leaders behave. This programme focuses on how HR can build an innovation-ready organisation: assessing innovation culture and climate, embedding creativity and curiosity in competency models and recruitment, developing creative thinking and design thinking skills, setting up idea management schemes, recognising and rewarding innovation, and designing psychological safety and experimentation into ways of working. It draws on ISO 56002 innovation management guidance and on government innovation agendas across the Gulf.
