Organisational Strategy

The alignment of strategy, vision, and values is paramount to organisational performance. We work with leaders to align strategy and vision, develop a clear sense of purpose, and ensure these are reflected in the activities of employees.

"The OD Company were working with us to review our HR Policies and how they align to our culture and organisational strategy. They were knowledgeable across all HR core functions and were able to deliver policies that were relevant and aligned to our needs, but also trained the HR team and provided them with tools to enable them to write HR policy in the future."
- HRBP, Telecommunications.

"The credibility of the partners is amazing as they demonstrated a great understanding of organisational strategy, before we proceeded they suggested we run workshops to provide opportunity for employees to design our values. They engaged our employees to think about what type of organisation they want to work for and belong to. Through the workshops they were able to deliver a sense of purpose and belonging. The employees were very excited to have been part of this and also we then aligned these to our organisational strategy so it was embedded into our culture. What was a really exciting part of the project was providing the employees with the ownership of the organisational strategy and values."
- HRD, Semi-Government

"Thank you to The OD Company – an agenda-less meeting for our board was an unusual suggestion, but it was one of the most valuable, communicative and interesting experiences. All our board members are looking forward to the next one!"
- CEO, Financial Sector.

Culture Assessment

An engaging and inspiring culture is paramount to organisational success. We are committed to understanding an organisation’s culture, it’s strengths, and it’s challenges. We use both qualitative and quantitative measures to assess organisational culture. We customise programmes specifically for the needs of our clients to help shape its culture into the desired state.

"The OD Company use a great cultural assessment tool, which allowed us to see what our organisational culture looked like and where we could improve. In partnership with them we were able to work with the leadership team to identify and implement initiatives to drive cultural change. We were very happy with the work that we achieved in collaboration with The OD Company."
- HRD, Semi-Government.

"We had a problem with our culture, but we didn’t quite know where. When we scoped the project we chose The OD Company as we felt they understood our unique challenges and could provide robust solutions."
- VP HR, Private

Executive Coaching

In order to be highly effective, executives must accurately identify their strengths and areas of development, examine the impact of their behaviour on others, and regularly and intentionally reflect on their values, goals and effectiveness. We focus on developing an executive’s full potential by coaching them to think and act beyond existing limits and paradigms.

"Najat created a safe and trusted place for me to think beyond what I knew – the experience was not only life changing but actually allowed me to rethink my career and I am now in the right place."
- Line Manager, Financial Services

Alexis created workshops for our HR team to deliver to our internal stakeholders. She coached the HR team to ensure they were able to train using the materials and were comfortable facing their stakeholders. The HR team responded well to her personable and approachability, creating a safe environment for the team to grow and learn."
- CAO, Education Sector

Leadership Development

The link between great leadership and employee satisfaction and performance is well documented. We design and deliver high quality, engaging programmes for leaders and their teams.

"The OD Company successfully created a coaching culture in our organisation. The organisational change has been immense. They developed a training program to raise awareness of coaching for line managers and employees. This has created a shift in how our organisation delivers their Qatarisation and development programs."
- Director, L&D Semi-Government.

"We ran an employee engagement survey and one of our key areas that we lacked in was leadership. The OD Company were contracted to help us design and deliver a program for our leaders. The program consisted of understanding our values and culture of our organisation, followed by a leadership assessment which was customised for our leadership competencies and then a program was delivered to build the leadership gaps. The work was professional, timely and they were not afraid to bring unique ideas to the table. We have seen some great results with our leaders and look forward to running our next employee engagement survey to measure the impact."
- COO, Semi-Government.

The OD Company offer accreditation, coaching and workshops to develop the HR team and enable them to drive strategies and initiatives within the organisation. We are passionate about advancing the HR function within Qatar and positively contributing to the Qatar National Vision 2030.

"We worked with The OD Company when we started to review our HR Strategy and realised we needed something that was more aligned with our organisation’s vision. The OD Company provided an assessment for all my HR team allowed us to identify their skills and capabilities. They also ran workshops with the business and HR Team separately to ensure we were balancing the needs of the business, being strategic, and, simultaneously building the capability of the HR team."
- Head of HR, Healthcare Sector.
