Doha: The Civil Service and Government Development Bureau has launched the “Knowledge Transfer” initiative with 13 international consulting companies that possess a proven track record of strategic projects in the State of Qatar.
The first phase of the initiative will start from the beginning of next year.
Agreements were signed with MacKenzie Inc., Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Deloitte, Accenture, Ernst & Young, Kearney, KPMG, Oliver Wyman, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Protiviti, Qatar Moore and Roland Berger.
The initiative seeks to raise the level of insight and expertise based on government sector needs across various fields, and through a six-month development programme enabling the local Qatar government work force to observe work practices within the consulting companies and their respective strategic departments. The Knowledge Transfer initiative provides an opportunity for the Qatari government-worker participants attending the programme to learn about the various specialised work environments from highly qualified international experts and specialists in strategic project management. The benefits of the development program will ensure that participants acquire valuable skills and experience within their specialities and are able to apply their new skills at their workplaces.
President of the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau H E Abdulaziz bin Nasser bin Mubarak Al Khalifa said that the Knowledge Transfer initiative represents an excellent opportunity to learn and benefit from vivid examples and global experiences at the level of local strategic projects in multiple sectors. The initiative enables public sector employees to hone their skills by acquiring new job practices and experiences across the private sector, according to the foundations, standards and requirements that have been identified and studied in advance to achieve the desired goals.
