Processes
Standard Chartered (SC) Bank has a bold ambition to be the number one Learning function in financial services: “having world-class Learning that unlocks the unique potential of our people and helps them contribute their best to Standard Chartered and our clients, both today and as we transform into the future”.
To achieve this ambition, the People Capability (PC) function has reinvented its organisation design to organise around Hives, disciplines and squads. In this model:
Multi-disciplinary “Squads’’ deliver work to achieve the function’s priorities
“Priorities” are the way in which work is organised and relate to unique areas of delivery. Squads delivering on different projects within the same strategic priority are grouped together and called “Hives’’.
All squad members are “Discipline’’ practitioners and are dynamically allocated to squads through disciplines:
Disciplines are the ‘homes’ for practitioners to develop their professional excellence and to maintain a common approach to similar activities and tasks
They provide a stable community for practitioners to belong to (as people move across squads)
They enable multi-skilling and development of depth and breadth or “T-shaped” capabilities.
Currently, there are three Disciplines within People Capability:
