Ooredoo Partners With HBKU For Strategic Learning Initiative


(MENAFN- Gulf Times)

Ooredoo has been developing a Strategic learning Framework to consolidate its approach to staff development, paving the way for the delivery of specialist law courses.
To this end, a programme of legal training has been established, leading to course provision delivered jointly by Ooredoo Qatar and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU)'s College of Law.
Ooredoo chief legal, regulatory & governance officer sheikh Ali bin Jabor al-Thani and general counsel Martin Schulz were involved in the co-creation of this programme, which echoes the major themes of the newly-released Ooredoo human resources strategy.
Seven modules will be offered at Ooredoo headquarters in West Bay, covering topics like legal writing, fundamentals of commercial law, contract law, data protection, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and the rules and regulations of Free Zones in Qatar.
Delivered by members of the HBKU Law faculty, the classes will be predominantly in a lecture format, supported using case studies.
“Learning and development are increasingly taking centre stage in the global economy and its workforce,” said Ooredoo Qatar chief human resources officer Eman Mubarak al-Khater.“As part of our organisation's strategy to focus on people and culture, collaborations such as this one with Hamad Bin Khalifa University add to a Strategic Learning Framework which enhances our employee value proposition, all the while building up our future capabilities.”
“My HBKU Law colleagues and I applaud Ooredoo for its decision to invest in the continuing education of the Ooredoo legal team,” HBKU College of Law dean Dr Susan L Karamanian said.“We welcome the opportunity to address legal topics of overall relevance to Qatar, particularly as to contract law, including contract drafting, and those of specific relevance to Ooredoo, such as data privacy, legal aspects of free zones, and anti-money laundering.”
Also in attendance at the inception of this programme were Schulz, senior manager (Leadership Development and Succession Planning) Fitzgerald Aguila, and HBKU College of Law professors Ilias Bantekas, Hilary Bell and George Dimitropoulos.
Ooredoo Qatar believes that strategic learning will help to foster a learning culture, inspiring others to learn while addressing functional competency gaps.
In turn, this renewed learning culture will aim to influence day-to-day operations as part of succession planning, individual development discussions and development philosophy.
