Khushroo Satarawala’s Summary

Understand Business Strategy to evolve HR Strategy

Have worked closely with senior managers on OD initiatives & as a "Change Agent" to bring about a structured, meticulously planned culture change.

I feel that most investments in talent management are being wasted by the use of expensive but flawed programs to find or mentor the right people.
I feel we could spend less time trying to identify the right people, and more time trying to help individuals align four key aspects that will enhance their leadership potential.

These four aspects are:

1)- Beliefs and values we cherish
2)- Intentions or Inner Motives
3)- Promises that we make to all Stakeholders
4)- Actions and behaviors that we display

Continuously learning to use Developmental Assessment Centres & Competency Mapping tools to assist line managers in acheiving Business Results by way of,

• Discovering the potential of the existing workforce.
• Identifying and bridging the gap vis-à-vis the ideal / preferred culture.
• Building cohesive teams
• Benchmarking & replicating star performers
• Objectivity & efficiency in selection process
• Building a DICTIONARY of competencies required in the company / group.
* build "Structured Learning Path's" for various cadre's.

Acquired significant experience on training methodologies and cross cultural sensitivity while being trained to facilitate world class Leadership & performance enhancement programs designed by our international partners for Sr. Managers,
• Huthwaite, UK
• Carlson Learning of USA
• Australian Institute of Management

Life-long learner of Organizational Development (OD) & management trends, who assertively facilitates adult learning with a flexible leadership style.

Can appreciate & adapt to latest technology for PEOPLE Management.

Ability to seamlessly work with the academia and corporate environment
