…organises training for CSCS staff

As part of efforts aimed at strengthening organisational readiness and accelerate transformation, Inspired2Lead, a leading leadership development and management consulting firm, recently facilitated a comprehensive Change Management Training for all staff of Central Securities Clearing System Plc (CSCS) across its Lagos and Abuja offices.

Led by the Chief Executive Officer of Inspired2Lead, Odeyemi Olayiwole, alongside other faculty members of the firm, the training was designed to equip employees with the mindset, skills, and tools required to successfully navigate organisational change and contribute effectively to the execution of CSCS’s strategic priorities.

The initiative forms a critical component of CSCS’s commitment to building a high-performing, agile, and future-ready workforce capable of driving innovation and sustaining growth in the nation’s  financial market infrastructure ecosystem.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CSCS,  Shehu Shantali, personally flagged off the various training cohorts in both Lagos and Abuja, demonstrating executive commitment to the transformation journey and underscoring the importance of employee engagement in achieving organisational success.

Speaking during the opening sessions, Shantali emphasised the significance of change readiness as CSCS embarks on a new phase of growth and transformation guided by its three-year strategic vision.

He noted that achieving ambitious organisational goals requires not only clear strategies but also employees who are equipped and empowered to embrace change.

The training covered key areas including, understanding the dynamics of change, overcoming resistance, building adaptability and resilience, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, enhancing collaboration, and aligning individual contributions with organisational objectives.

Participants engaged in interactive learning sessions, case studies, practical exercises, and discussions focused on translating strategic priorities into measurable actions across all levels of the organization.

To Olayiwole, the successful transformation is ultimately driven by people.

He added, ‘organisations do not change, people do. Sustainable change happens when employees understand the vision, embrace the purpose behind the change, and possess the capabilities required to execute it. We are delighted to partner with CSCS in preparing its workforce for the future.’

Expectedly, the training will play pivotal role in positioning CSCS to successfully pursue and fulfill the three-year vision and strategic plan of its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Shehu Shantali.

By creating alignment across the organisation and strengthening change leadership capabilities, the initiative lays a strong foundation for improved performance, innovation, and long-term sustainability.

Participants described the sessions as insightful, practical, and highly relevant to the evolving needs of the organisation. Many expressed confidence that the knowledge gained would enable them to contribute more effectively to the implementation of strategic initiatives and organizational transformation efforts.

With the successful completion of the enterprise-wide Change Management Training, CSCS has continued its journey toward operational excellence and  building a resilient workforce prepared to meet the opportunities and challenges of the future.

Over the years, Inspired2Lead has helped organisations and individuals achieve sustainable growth through leadership excellence, organisational development, strategy execution, change management, coaching, and workforce transformation initiatives.
