HR Strategy for Organizational Transformation and Development

Program Overview

Mergers, restructurings, privatisation, digitalisation and new national strategies are transforming many Gulf organisations, and HR is expected to lead the people side of that change. This programme focuses on HR strategy during large-scale transformation: assessing transformation readiness, designing the people workstream of a transformation programme, managing restructuring and workforce transition, integrating cultures after mergers, applying change models such as Kotter's eight steps and ADKAR, redeploying and reskilling staff, and protecting engagement and key talent through uncertainty. It also covers governance, risk and measuring transformation outcomes.
