About the course
Organisations increasingly compete through their ability to mobilise talent, develop organisational capabilities, and continuously renew themselves in response to technological disruption, shifting labour markets, and the broader transformation of work. This course examines how people-related decisions shape organisational performance and long-term strategic renewal. Participants learn how to translate strategy into concrete people actions: attracting, developing, and deploying talent; designing performance-enabling team structures;
and building learning mechanisms that support upskilling and reskilling in dynamic environments.
Through a combination of analytical frameworks, case discussions, and applied exercises, the course develops participants’ ability to diagnose people-related strategic challenges and translate them into actionable organisational initiatives. Particular attention is given to the role of data and evidence in people decision-making, including the use of workforce analytics to diagnose performance drivers. The course also examines engagement and wellbeing as critical elements of the organisational infrastructure that enables sustainable performance.
