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: continents like Africa 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 7– May 7, 2022
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. Where you live or your time zone would not be an issue as program is not live-delivered.

Target Audience: This program is designed for professionals and students across functional areas like sales, marketing, technology, administration, legal, strategy, finance, etc across all business sectors and domains.
