The next edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA which begins Feb 7 2022 will be the best yet! Many new courses are coming. I am excited to share that Charles Igwe PH.D, EMBA, PMP has joined the Faculty of Tekedia Institute. A graduate of University of Benin, Coventry University and Concordia University.

He will be teaching a course titled “Driving Growth and Operational Excellence Using Lean Six Sigma”. The goal here is to use the Lean Six Sigma principles to educate on the mechanics of business growth and operational excellence.

If you are in business, this is a civil engineer teaching business in the most practicable and quantifiable way. One of my finest courses in FUTO was the one that included Engineer Turns Manager. Dr Charles has a 160-page slide here to explain how we can make business growth predictable through probability.

Come with your calculator because you will understand the “Measure of Central Tendency” and how all can improve growth in the firm.

Dr. Charles, welcome to Tekedia Institute and Good People, look at our latest curriculum for the next edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA.

Update – please read this statement from the government on this matter.

There has been a legal brawl between some Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Nigeria against the Federal Government simply for the determination of who has the power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

Statutorily, the local governments are the ones empowered to conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates, for this reason, the LGAs have insisted that their powers to register marriages which are statutorily provided are being usurped by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior.

The Eti Osa LOcal Government Area of Lagos State took the Ministry of Interior and Attorney General of the Federation to court in suit no.: FHC/ LS/CS/816/18 between Eti-Osa LGA & 3 others v. Hon. Minister of Interior & 2 others (Federal High Court, Ikoyi Judicial Division), where they accused Federal Ministry of Interiors of usurping the Local Government’s power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

They prayed the court to declare that the federal government has no business in the conduction of marriages and issuing marriage certificates and order the closure of all marriage registries opened and operated  by the Federal Ministry of Interior or through their agents including that of the Ikoyi Registry.

The case lingered but recently, the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi held in the favor of the Eti-Osa local government and granted their prayers.

The court held that conduct of marriages and issue of certificate is statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law and only the local governments have the power to do such and the acts of the federal government through the Ministry of Interior operating marriage registries is clearly beyond their powers.

The court further held that all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents are illegal and invalid and the Federal High Court also ordered for the closure of all federal marriage registries including that of Ikoyi marriage registry with immediate effect. 

Markets are vector quantities with magnitude (size) and  direction (customer preferences). Unless your products evolve and adapt, you will remain a scalar quantity (only magnitude with no antenna to pick the directional patterns). Make 2022 the Year of Business Adaptability.

Every business model begins with an assumption on knowing and understanding the customer frictions with capabilities to provide products and services to fix them.

But most of the time, those assumptions must evolve. And that means, the greatest companies are those that have mastered the art of adaptability because in this world even the customers are changing.

Understand. Adapt. Win.

Comment 1: Jeff Bezos stated in a letter to shareholders that Amazon will have a ‘Day One Mentality”. This simply means that Amazon will always have the mentality of a startup.

A Startup, by my definition, is a “young Tech or Tech Enabled organisation designed to seek, develop and validate a repeatable and scalable business model”. Therefore, Amazon having a Startup Mentality means that it’s always on an adventure, it just can’t stop, because then it will mature and decline. Companies are Living Entities, I call them “Borgs or Borganisms” (short for Business Organisms) because they possess all the characteristics of living organisms.

Big, Medium or Small; Young, Mature or Old, it’s all a State of Mind, a Lifestyle that can be assumed at will, but for many, it’s a Linear State of Life, a Reality they can’t escape from.

Jeff Bezos chose to keep Amazon Young Everyday by making it assume a Young State of Mind and as such, even though it’s big, it never loses its ability to be Ambitious and Grow, it never Matures and Declines, it never Ages and Dies.

You win by discerning and assuming the right state of mind for every given situation. You can’t stay Fixed in a Fast Changing World.

Comment 2: Product and market Adaptability is one of the key components of a successful company. The product should be able to suit customers changing needs and wants. It is also the key to customer retention and loyalty.

Comment 3: Business Vitality Competency is a business ability to reinvent and grow sustainably reading the market trend.

Relying on the current trend and performance will always short-lived business models thereby making adaptability difficult.

Now a business vitality is not measured in the current performance because the trend that may have produced such current result may not be appropriate to respond to due to the ever present customers’ dynamic requirements.

The common metrics used by businesses (growth, profitability and market share) measure what has happened in the past with little regard for what will happen in the future.

Therefore for a business to maintain vitality and effectively adapt it must take a futuristic look into what demands may look like (not neglecting the present) because customers are the investors according to Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe.
