The Orange Group, one of the top telecom operators, runs an HR Business School to professionalise its HR community.
The school’s aim is to develop the community's skills : 23 job fields, representing 4,300 human resources professionals worldwide.

 

Solution

In the Orange Group, digital technology is a priority that top management is kick-starting with the strategic "Orange digital leadership inside" programme. To get the entire workforce onboard, Human Resources has been given a central role in the digital transformation. But for the HR function to be able to play its role as ambassador, it must first change what it does and the way it operates.

The HR Business School chose Cegos to guide and support it in this project, with an innovative, adjustable course format that lets learners progress step by step with the help of new training methods.

Backed by its solid digital expertise, Cegos co-constructed the course with Orange and delivered the entire course. The training course uses viral distribution and revolves around five building blocks:
