Kuwait Finance House Launches 'ONE VISION' to Empower Future Leaders

Kuwait Finance House (KFH) has launched the “One Vision” (ONE VISION) initiative to develop leadership talent, a step aimed at investing in national competencies and preparing the next generation of leaders across the Group. The program includes 75 employees, comprising promising talents and senior executives, embarking on a six-month developmental journey focused on learning, knowledge sharing, professional growth, and honing leadership skills.

During his speech at the launch ceremony of the ONE VISION program, Ahmed Al-Hamad, Acting Head of Human Resources and Transformation at the Group, emphasized the strategic importance of investing in human capital and elevating leadership capabilities across the bank’s various sectors and departments.

Al-Hamad stated, “We gather today with 75 colleagues from among our talents and senior leaders, embarking on a six-month journey of learning, networking, and growth.” He added that the ONE VISION program embodies KFH’s commitment to developing its workforce and preparing future leaders qualified to achieve sustainable success and support the Group’s strategic ambitions.

He noted that what distinguishes this program is its adoption of a “reverse mentoring” approach, which enhances the exchange of expertise and knowledge between senior leaders and promising talents within a mutual learning process. Al-Hamad explained, “Our leaders will share their experiences and insights, while promising talents will offer new ideas and innovative perspectives reflecting the aspirations of the new generation. This approach creates valuable opportunities for mutual learning and strengthens collaboration and integration across different functional levels within the organization.”

As part of the program, mentors and trainees will participate in six sessions over the next six months, enabling them to exchange expertise, strengthen professional relationships, transfer knowledge, develop leadership skills, and reinforce a culture of continuous learning.

Al-Hamad pointed out that the ONE VISION program aims to develop the leadership capabilities of promising talents, enhance communication between future leaders and senior management, embed a culture of innovation and teamwork, and broaden cooperation across different sectors, thereby contributing to preparing qualified personnel to assume leadership roles in the future.

He expressed his appreciation for the participating mentors, commending their commitment and dedication to preparing future leaders and transferring their practical experience to the new generation of leaders.

Al-Hamad congratulated the participants on their selection to join the program and encouraged them to make the most of this opportunity by remaining open to new experiences, learning, and committing to continuous development. He clarified that the network of relationships they will build and the expertise they will acquire throughout the program will serve as a significant resource for enhancing their professional and leadership skills.

Al-Hamad reaffirmed KFH’s belief that its employees are its most valuable assets, stressing the bank’s commitment to providing meaningful development opportunities that contribute to supporting the institution’s long-term success.

He concluded his speech by calling on all participants to benefit from this experience and work together to ensure the success of the ONE VISION program, thereby enhancing collaboration, development, and shared achievement.
