House Building Finance Company Limited - HBFCL is enacting a wide-ranging programme to build the capacity and skills of its employees. This investment in the people, the most valuable asset of any organisation, is an integral part of its overall ongoing transformation strategy that is helping turn around the organisation into a profitable, client-centric one.
Under the programme, HBFCL recently organised a workshop titled "Leading Change at HBFCL", which was conducted at the Centre for Executive Education of Institute of Business Administration. Participants of the workshop were a diverse group of senior to junior managers at HBFCL across Pakistan, ensuring the spread of learning across the organisation, both functionally and geographically.
Speaking on the occasion, the MD and CEO of HBFCL, Azhar A. Jaffri stated that the organisation is fully focused on its ultimate goal of being the driver of change to mitigate the huge housing shortage in the country, estimated at over 10 million units. To achieve this goal, HBFCL is first bringing about a positive change within itself and the workshop is just one of the initiatives being taken to build a stronger, more motivated and more knowledgeable team.
The two-day workshop focused on the change management process at HBFCL, with the participants conducting strategic analysis of the organisation, developing new product portfolios, participating in HBFCL Customer Value Proposition exercise, brainstorming and conducting SWOT analysis of HBFCL, and Organisational Culture Assessment. The workshop also addressed cultural issues and provided solutions for better results. Dean and Director of IBA, Dr Ishrat Hussain was a guest speaker at the workshop.-PR
