Developing responsible leaders to inspire Africa's growth
In response to the changing world of work, Lagos Business School’s Human Resources Academy (LBS HR Academy) has been positioned as a transformational change partner to organizations that are looking for new ways to navigate the uncertainty and complexity presented by the covid-19 pandemic. The LBS HR Academy is an innovative approach to the development of human resources professionals that are anything but normal. With three distinct levels (foundation, intermediate and advanced), the academy covers a wide range of knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to fully develop as a seasoned human resource professional in an unpredictable world and business environment. As the director of executive education at the Lagos Business School, I can confidently state that the LBS HR Academy is focused on providing core human resources capabilities required to function effectively in an ever-changing world. Participants will gain valuable experience through the interaction with colleagues on the challenges they face in their businesses. The academy is open to participants from various sectors of the economy, and the networking opportunity offered by the programme, will enrich, and greatly enhance learning and team spirit.
The Director of the Academy, Dr. Akin Oparison, has informed me that “the academy would position participants to strategically make vital decisions that will enhance their growth and benefit their organisations. Using the highly successful case study methodology, a major learning tool which has been perfected by Lagos Business School faculty members, participants will be challenged to produce ‘box-less’ solution-focused thinking. Role-play and simulation games will also be used to help participants revolutionize their thinking and turn them into natural problem solvers.”
The LBS HR academy is designed to help participants who are enrolled at various proficiency levels - Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced, to develop a broad understanding of four key strategic contexts: (1) Business and Commercial Awareness (2) Relationship and People Leadership (3) Human Resource Operations (4) International Human Resources. The programme will run for a duration of eighteen to twenty-four months, depending on the proficiency level enrolled on.
Upon successful completion of the programme and the action learning project, you shall receive a Lagos Business School certificate of competence and membership of the school’s prestigious alumni association.
Lagos Business School (LBS) is the graduate business school of Pan-Atlantic University. LBS has been ranked every year, since 2007 by the Financial Times of London, among the top global providers of open enrolment executive education and in custom executive education since 2015. The latter ranked number one in Africa on the 2020 Financial Times list. LBS’ MBA programmes have held Tier One positions on CEO Magazine’s Global MBA rankings for three consecutive years.
