Consultancy to guide the Change Management elements of the People Capability Strategy (PCS)

Background

As described in UNDP’s Agenda for Organizational Change (AOC), the challenges of the 21st century development landscape, including dwindling resources, demand that UNDP repositions itself and lifts its performance “from good to great”.  The vision is for UNDP to be a forward-looking, cohesive, knowledge-based organization that leads the development arena, with governance accountabilities and mechanisms that promote the continuous refinement of the organization’s strategic priorities, and with agile and flexible operations that respond effectively to evolving development needs in the countries that we serve.
Fulfilling this vision requires a UNDP workforce that not only possesses the right mix of competencies to deliver on strategic priorities, but one that is also able to adapt to ever-evolving development demands.  Equally, UNDP must ensure the engagement of its people and create an environment that enables them to contribute to their full potential, to deliver on organizational priorities. In this context, the AOC called for a People Capability Strategy (PCS), conceived as UNDP’s Integrated Talent Management strategy. The PCS aims at bringing change to how the organization conducts talent management.
Objective:
The objective of this consultancy is to drive the Change Management elements of the PCS, which entail changing leadership behaviours in UNDP as well as driving change to make the Office of Human Resources (OHR) the most effective and efficient human resources provider it can possibly be.
The Recipient(s):
