Attend the HR Excellence Bootcamp | Get mentored by Bolaji Olagunju
Business leaders today are desperately in need of highly skilled professionals that can strategise, execute, solve hard problems through people and deliver outstanding business results. That individual should be YOU, the HR practitioner responsible for people. It shouldn’t be the CFO.

INTRODUCING...
The HR Excellence Bootcamp
Time and time again, in our conversations with ambitious HR professionals, we hear their frustrations at wanting desperately to be more strategically supportive of their CEOs.
They want very much to be able to develop and execute high-level strategic ideas that transform their organisation into high-performance businesses. They have the will and the drive to learn the core essentials of strategic people management, yet, they lack the ideal learning environment and experienced instructors.
We’ve also talked with CEOs and business leaders who struggle to find experienced strategic HR professionals who can deliver both short-term and long-term business results.
We built the HR Excellence Bootcamp specifically to address this gap.

From The Desk of Bolaji Olagunju
Dear ambitious HR professional,
If you aren’t currently recognised in your organisation for increasing market share, growing customer base, driving product innovation, increasing sales, and helping your company be more agile, you’re being more transactional than strategic. And as we all know, the age of transactional HR is fast coming to a close. Your organisation is facing greater challenges than ever before, and it needs much more from you, its HR professional.
Regardless of the industry you’re in right now, the market is changing rapidly, and only innovative and agile companies will survive. It is enough to say that we’ve officially reached the age where how you strategically shape the people of your organisation will determine whether your organisation thrives or dies. It is no wonder then that CEOs and business leaders are desperately searching for pragmatic and highly-skilled HR Strategists that can help them achieve hard-to-duplicate and sustainable competitive advantages through well-calculated HR management.
Specifically, business leaders need HR professionals that can effectively:
And so, if you develop the right mindset and the strategic capabilities required to solve the problems that keep your CEO awake at night, you will become your organisation’s top resource for human capital strategy and will NEVER again need to ask for a seat at the table.
However, getting to this stage requires a radically different skill set from administrating. You will have to master some critical competencies to make this leap. We can help!
The HR Excellence Bootcamp was created to help you master the five critical strategic HR skills.
At the Bootcamp, you can look forward to being mentored and coached by me and by some of the best CEOs and HR Strategists in West Africa. You can expect to get an insider’s view of how the most successful HR strategists set strategy, tackle challenges, manage stakeholders, and minimize risks.
Together, we will work to plan, execute, measure, and optimize an integrated business strategy and HR agenda that drives compounding growth for your organisation. We’ll also show you how to collaborate effectively with your CEO, CFO, COO and others on the senior leadership team of your organisation.
At the end of the program, you’ll leave with real results to share with your current (or future) employer plus the ability to call yourself a Certified HR Strategist.
If this sounds like what you’ve been searching for, then enrol immediately, slots are limited.

Bolaji
HOW IT WORKS…
Step 1
Meet your instructor &your assignments
Step 2
Access weekly coursework on demand
Step 3
Submit homework & attend weekly office hours.
Workforce University’s HR Excellence Bootcamp is as challenging as it is rewarding. Each unit is taught by an industry expert and facilitated (virtually) from 8:45am to 1pm in a true, small group, classroom-style format.
You and your fellow students will complete course training and “mini-projects” as well as participate in group discussions relating the course material to real-life business scenarios.
Those who successfully complete the Bootcamp will, in just 5 weeks, emerge with the skills, knowledge, and “in the trenches” experience that only an HR Strategist can possess.
At the end of 5-weeks, the coursework you’ve completed will all culminate in a final capstone project based on a real-life business scenario. Submission and review of this project is required in order to receive your certificate.
Course Breakdown
Over 5 weeks, you will master the 5 core competencies that any HR Strategist (or Head of HR) must possess. Mastery of these competencies is truly the difference between just being a specialist in a specific HR discipline and actually holistically understanding Business strategy to be able to sit in a “Head Of” seat. Each session will mix strategy with execution and you’ll get instructor feedback to give you a clear path to success. Here’s how each week will break down…
