An embedded, executive-level human capital extension delivering doctoral-level talent architecture, end-to-end succession roadmaps, and vendor governance without full-time C-suite headcount overhead.
Program Overview
Major GCC sovereign wealth funds, central financial institutions, and enterprise conglomerates face significant complexity when scaling internal leadership pipelines and securing executive succession. Internal HR and L&D teams often face bandwidth constraints that prevent them from building multi-tiered, committee-grade talent architectures alongside daily operational demands.
The 10-Hour Enterprise Advisory Retainer provides an embedded, fractional executive extension. Serving as a dedicated Head of Talent Development & Strategy, Dr. Shad Rogers works directly with your executive committee, CHRO, and senior stakeholders to map, execute, and govern institutional talent roadmaps from graduate onboarding through executive director roles.
