Systemic Leadership: Mastering Organizational Excellence
In today’s complex, fast-evolving global environment, traditional leadership approaches are no longer sufficient to address the intricate challenges that organizations face. Systemic Leadership: Mastering Organizational Excellence offers a comprehensive journey into mastering leadership through systems thinking principles, equipping leaders with the tools they need to drive resilience, sustainability, and long-term success.
This program, led by Engr. Mohammad A. Albuzaid, builds on the concepts from his book Systemic Leadership: Thinking Differently in a Complex World. Participants will explore how systems thinking provides the framework for leading organizations in ways that promote adaptability, enhance decision-making, and unlock innovation.
About the Program Leader
Mohammad Abdullah Albuzaid is the leader behind the Systemic Leadership: Mastering Organizational Excellence course. With over 30 years of leadership experience in systems thinking, organizational performance improvement, lean methodologies, and engineering, Mohammad combines technical expertise with advanced leadership skills that have helped him lead and execute major projects in the oil and gas industry. His unique approach enables him to drive transformational change and deliver practical solutions that help organizations achieve operational excellence.
Proven Leadership in Oil and Gas
During his tenure at Saudi Aramco, Mohammad demonstrated his ability to lead high-impact projects in one of the world’s most complex industries. He played a pivotal role in a pioneering organizational improvement initiative that involved applying lean thinking methodologies to the Remote Terminal Units (RTU) function, which connects Saudi Arabia’s vast oil and gas pipeline network to the central control system at Dhahran’s OSPAS (Oil Supply Planning and Scheduling). Through his leadership, these critical systems were optimized, improving both operational efficiency and the overall safety of oil and gas flows.
Advanced Leadership Across Industries
Mohammad’s leadership extends beyond the oil and gas sector. He has demonstrated his ability to lead organizations of any size, from startups to large enterprises. His proven track record of stepping into high-profile positions and filling transformative roles enables him to guide organizations through complex organizational transformations and performance improvement initiatives.
Developer of Innovative Leadership Models
Unlike other problem-solving techniques like Root Cause Analysis (RCA), which stops at identifying the direct causes of problems, Mohammad’s SSX (Systemic Solutions for Complex Problems) model takes you several steps deeper. The SSX model goes beyond what is typically considered the **”root causes”** and dives into the **systemic root causes**, providing a deeper diagnosis and addressing the hidden dynamics that drive organizational problems. By targeting these deeper systemic root causes, Mohammad’s approach ensures the implementation of **permanent solutions**, rather than temporary fixes.
- QTL (Quality Transformational Leadership): A model designed to foster leadership excellence and transformational change through systems thinking and continuous improvement.
- SSX (Systemic Solutions for Complex Problems): A methodology that focuses on utilizing systems thinking to solve complex organizational challenges, improve efficiency, and deliver sustainable success by addressing the systemic root causes of issues.
Focus on Changing Mental Models
Mohammad is known for focusing heavily on changing mental models. He believes that positive mental models are the foundation of all meaningful organizational change. According to Mohammad, preparation for knowledge and skills transfer is essential because without a shift in mental models and belief systems, any investment in knowledge and skills is merely a waste of time and money. His leadership approach, therefore, prioritizes aligning mental models with the organizational goals to ensure successful and sustainable transformation.
Practical Implementation and Permanent Solutions
Mohammad offers his expertise to organizations looking to boost their performance, enhance leadership, and overcome chronic management and technical issues. He works closely with organizations to practically implement the QTL and SSX models, providing permanent solutions by diagnosing and addressing the systemic root causes of challenges, ensuring lasting improvements and sustained success.
Note: Mohammad can extend his services to your organization through practical implementation of the advanced methodologies covered in this program.
