Batelco partners with LBS to groom young Bahraini talents

MANAMA, June 14, 2021

Bahrain's leading telecom services operator Batelco has partnered with the globally-recognised London Business School (LBS) to provide a tailored, first-of its kind executive talent programme in Bahrain, which will see a number of Batelco’s aspiring young talents developed for senior roles within the organisation. 
 
The partnership marks the first time that the LBS has created an executive talent programme to develop the next generation of leaders for the telecom industry in Bahrain.
 
The two-phased programme consists of 6-months of training, covering six modules to develop strategic leadership skills, by attending virtual training sessions with renowned members of the LBS faculty. 
 
The participants will later get to visit the LBS campus in London, where they will have the opportunity to put the learnings from their training into action through engaging discussions and a final project, said the statement from Batelco. 
 
The Batelco participants will also be making site visits to technology leaders in the United Kingdom to learn from their experiences and success stories, it added.
 
LBS Dean François Ortalo-Magné said: "We are delighted to form a new partnership with Batelco to develop its talented future leaders. Our first such strategic learning partnership in the kingdom, this builds on our global experience and also our experience of working with many executives within the kingdom who have attended our degree and executive programmes, contributing to the strength of our local alumni network."
 
"We are looking forward to the development of an enduring and successful relationship that delivers sustainable individual and organisational impact for Batelco," noted Magne. 
 
Batelco Chief Human Resources Officer Faisal Al Jalahma said: "We are extremely proud of our first of-a-kind tailor-made executive talent programme developed in partnership with the LBS."
 
"This is part of Batelco’s ongoing commitment to elevate industry skills and expertise of promising young Bahrainis from within the company and follows the launch of our Leadership Development Programme in 2020," he added.
 
Al Jalahma said the core objective of the programme was to support Batelco with its succession planning by building competencies from within the organisation, "through nurturing a strong young team who can fulfil leadership roles in the future and create success stories both for Batelco and for Bahrain’s telecommunications sector."
 
"The LBS programme is designed to build industry-specific capabilities with young team members who can lead Batelco’s future digital strategy. Additionally, the knowledge gained will ultimately contribute to an enhanced experience for Batelco’s customers," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
