2. Reflections on learning during this period |

What I learned | I believe that this is just the initial phase of my transformation and I intend to acquire increased knowledge and undergoing substantial changes in two main directions. These include;
Individual Skills– This would entail areas of improving my overall focus, address all issues faced, analysis lens and flexibility Knowledge– Bloom taxonomy, components of learning process= UAE, changes management models, ageing workforce, business sector growth. |
||
Evidence | After an in-depth knowledge acquisition for different situations informed by data, theories and best practices matching on the organisation culture. For example, today, the operations are in digital-based transformation stage. Hence, from the time of attending my fist unit (7C001), I have been able to acquire relevant insights on change curve and assessing organisations. From this, I now possess an understanding of effective people behaviours and where to be involved and how to manage them informed by the different models (Kotter’s & Lewin’s). | ||
Conclusions | The program has positively lead to my individual transformation at a personalised level and it will be instrumental in taking my organisation to a higher level | ||
3. Other things from which I learned (Something that you did not plan for but that is worth reflecting upon and learning from.) |

What happened | As I joined CIPD level 7 my first assignment was unit 7CO01 (Work and working lives in a changing business environment). To achieve a pass, I had through a process as advised by the training center;
– Completing preparation activities was feeling excited to do this preparation such as reading the required chapters from the book, accessing the CIPD hub and doing some pastel analyses which went really good in terms of understanding the unit, being ready before starting the course, what I understood here is that completing the preparation activates helped me in all the aspects and increased my level of engagement during the session, therefore, going forward will ensure to continue doing the required preparation activities. – Attending the virtual sessions we had to conduct virtual sessions considering the current situation of covid all over the world, I was afraid at the begging that it will not be effective as required since we are used to the traditional class room training sessions and wasn’t confidant that I will be able to interact and get the required benefit from the session. however, as we started it was really surprising to see that the session was more than effective after the training instructor sit all ground rules, this was good in terms of focus on the presented materials and no one interrupting during the session without permission which increased the level of understating. From other hand being not seen and muted give us the chance to get engaged to other tasks during the session especially we attend from office throughout working hours, next time, I might consider, keeping out of office message to avoid any kind of interruption during the session. – Sitting timeline, deadlines & enough quality study time at the beginning I thought I still have enough time to start doing my readying and researching which was good, but the bad thing is I didn’t consider the required study time (8 hours per week) and considering the fact of the work nature I ended up with a very limited to the submission deadline especially it was during our hold month of Ramadan where we are fasting and having limited time to do a lot of activities. I should had planned ahead and followed the sit schedule to avoid such rushing at last before the due date. Next time I will ensure the same without any doubt. – Action learning sets & group meetings as advised by the training instructor we were requested to create a group meeting once a week to review the learning outcomes and share the knowledge. Although I trusted this is really helpful, still due to the busy and tight work schedule it wasn’t easy for us to conduct a regular meeting to review and discuss the progression, which eventually went wrong as by the time of submission I was not able to review my assignment with anyone since all was really busy and tight as well as other peers in terms of time and close due date. – Reading & research although I knew that 4 questions only are required to be answered, still I started doing my reading and research for all the 16th learning outcomes, as I was not sure which questions will be required and was afraid that I will not have enough time to do the required research for the selected questions on time. Therefore, I believe it was good I started the reading early as planned as this supported and saved a lot of time for me during writing my assignment. Going further I will definitely adopt the same way maybe with the addition of creating sort of notes and mind mapping to save more time. – Writing the assignment with all the above mentioned process, writing the assignment was still challenge where I had to present understating of all the learning outcomes, covering all the assessment criteria’s with what I consider limited word count, therefore what I did is I started writing the assignment without considering the word count aiming to the distinction/ merit marking guidance, after completing the same I started working on linking my writing to the assessment criteria’s which helped me to reducing the word count by |

- This was established after the post-negotiation review which brought out fundamental lessons about the supplier and our company’s negotiation pattern.
- As for certain important aspects, we indeed secured favourable financing conditions; yet, problems arose in attempting to synchronize delivery schedules since such conditions are affected by external supply chain factors.
- The supplier had the better BATNA and acted in a cooperative but very assertive way, and elaborated why the correct approach to negotiations is more equal.
- Further, the experience showed how flexible one has to be, how innovative, and how it pays to be more interested in long-term partnership rather than quick profit. Therefore, it will be useful in the future to improve the techniques of negotiation, improve the knowledge about the actions of suppliers, and improve intercompany and supplier cooperation.
- This will ensure that in future procurement negotiations; better outcomes are achieved.
- ROSHN should ensure that all negotiations within the next 6 months include specific metrics for delivery timelines, quality standards, and service levels, aiming for a 90% satisfaction rate in supplier compliance with these criteria. This approach will help secure more balanced and sustainable agreements.
- Over the next 12 months, ROSHN should develop a supplier relationship management program with bi-annual assessments to track and improve partnership quality. Target at least a 15% increase in supplier engagement scores by the end of the year to gain favorable bargaining positions during market downturns.
- Within 1 month of each major negotiation, conduct debriefing sessions to analyze performance, identify strengths, and address weaknesses. The goal is to improve negotiation effectiveness by at least 10% in the subsequent quarter through targeted adjustments based on these evaluations.
- Within the next 4 months, involve at least 80% of key stakeholders in sourcing strategy meetings to ensure alignment and gather input on critical decisions. This engagement aims to reduce misalignment issues by 20% within the year, resulting in smoother implementation of sourcing strategies.
