I recently completed the INSEAD program "Strategy in the Age of Digital Disruption," and I wanted to share my experience:   - The program focuses on digital transformation and provides insights into developing effective strategies for navigating digital disruptions. - It's an online course, offering the flexibility to learn from anywhere. - The program spans 6 to 8 weeks is pricey but worth it. - Interesting part is the Action Learning Projects (ALP) a hands-on consulting project applied to an existing company, allowing participants to apply course concepts in real-world business scenarios. - While demanding in terms of time and attention, the program is considered a worthwhile investment for those seeking to enhance their understanding of digital strategy and transformation. - Thanks to Professor Peter Zemsky and the INSEAD Executive Education team for offering valuable knowledge and a well-organized structure to guide participants through the learning journey. #Strategy #DigitalTransformation

I’m excited to share my new article in جريدة المال Al Mal Newspaper last Thursday where I explore how digital transformation is not just a buzzword, but a powerful force reshaping the traditional teller role in bank branches. As technology continues to evolve, it’s transforming the way banks operate, with a shift towards more automated services and a focus on enhancing the customer experience. In the article, I discuss how: • Digital solutions are automating routine transactions, allowing tellers to move beyond basic tasks and take on more advisory roles. • The integration of technology is improving efficiency while providing customers with quicker and more convenient service options. • Reskilling and upskilling are becoming essential for bank staff to adapt to this changing landscape, making the role of the teller more dynamic and impactful. I’m grateful to Al Mal Newspaper for publishing this piece and for recognizing the importance of discussing how digital transformation is impacting the banking sector. Let’s continue to drive conversations that help shape the future of banking! 🏦✨ #DigitalTransformation #Banking #FinancialServices #Tellers #CustomerExperience #Innovation #AlmalNewspaper #FutureOfBanking #Automation #Reskilling #BankBranches

Based on many of his theories that I enjoy learning and executing; from my experience successful #digitaltransformation requires a balance of leadership principles, technological acumen, and organizational agility based on the same. Adapt these lessons to your specific context and industry, and keep learning and evolving! #thoughtleadership #digitalleadership #Programmanagement PS: Don't use #AI to summarize this. Its worth a read :)
