A facility can pass every technical test and still miss its production targets if the organization running it was never properly built for the job. This training course starts from that risk, giving participants a practical route to preparing people, structure, and process together so a new or expanded operation performs from day one rather than months later.

Participants will learn how change management underpins organizational preparation, how to plan a smooth workforce transition into new operations, and how to define a clear operating model that fits the new organization's goals. The course also covers aligning structure and processes with operational needs before go-live. It is delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy through its Preparing Organizations for New Operations Training Course.
