The Master Level Program is designed for experienced (senior) leaders and OD/CM practitioners who are responsible for guiding Bayer through complex, large-scale change initiatives. Participants will become key figures in the Bayer Organizational Agility Community where they will support and develop the organization’s internal capability, and act as a source of expertise and guidance during times of change. Participants are likely to include (senior) Business and Project Leads, HR Country Heads and global/local HR Business Partners. Participants will have the opportunity to make a difference and create impact through their own actions and in their role as advisor and role model to others. It is therefore expected that participants will actively contribute to the Bayer Organizational Agility Community and in future OD/CM projects following their successful completion of the program.
