It will comprise videos, flash cases, written materials and webinars delivered online. When we finish, we will issue a certificate from the Tekedia Institute. 

Register and join us. You will emerge transformed with tools and capabilities that engineer confidence, performance and growth.  Accelerate your leadership ascent with me! .

We have received many emails from the community asking about the mini-MBA program I mentioned here. Certainly, we do not run any formal MBA program. My point is simply that by reading Tekedia, people do develop and accumulate capabilities that could help their careers.

At the moment, I do run a program which is designed for senior executives in companies. It is expensive I must note. The program is structured for these leaders to reach out anytime and discuss business issues. Think of being a professional confidant, assisting them as they work on the mechanics of business systems. It is subscription-based and goes for thousands of dollars yearly. These leaders also receive regular perspectives on what we see in their sectors and on their firms. Through this mini-MBA, I want to share those insights with more people.

Theme: Innovation, Growth & Digital Execution – Techniques for Building Category-King Companies

Introduction

Over the last few decades, digital technology has emerged as a very critical element in organizational competitiveness. It has transformed industrial sectors and anchored new business architectures, redesigning markets and facilitating efficiency in the allocation and utilization of factors of production. The impacts have been consequential: nations like Nigeria are moving towards knowledge-based economic structures and information societies, comprising networks of individuals, firms and states that are linked electronically and in interdependent relationships. In this program, we will examine this redesign within the context of fixing market frictions and deploying growth business frameworks in a world of perception demand where meeting needs and expectations of customers are not enough.

Program Time: Feb 10 – June 10, 2020

Venue & Format: Online via videos, articles, webinars, and flash cases. Program is self-paced which means you consume the materials at your own time and pace.It is completely online.
