We will begin the next edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA tomorrow, Monday, June 9, 2025. In a 50+ page lecture note, I will take time to explain why we have companies, and why companies exist. Yes, we need to understand the necessity of having companies before we can move into the phase of understanding how to run or manage them.
Once that necessity component is established, I will then focus on the three pillars upon which all companies in the world are built upon, and why the improvements in firms revolve around those pillars. The three pillars of People, Processes and Tools are central in everything we do in markets, and all domains of competitions are designed and engineered to shift market positioning around those three pillars. Because if you have the best mix of those pillars, you will win territories as your equations of markets will balance:
Great Company =: Awesome Products + Superior Execution

Innovation =: Invention + Commercialization
But remember, as in construction, pillars must be built on things, and those are the elemental factors of productions. We will examine the role of Knowledge in this building process, and most importantly how that Knowledge is rearchitecting business management. In other words, if knowledge becomes commoditized because of pervasive artificial intelligence, how do we build new competitive advantages in markets and what should managers of business be expected to do?
Good People, from Oriendu Market in Ovim to Wall Street banks in New York, we will use the next 12 weeks to understand the foundational mechanics of markets. I welcome hundreds of young people who have signed up for another academic festival in Tekedia Institute. Thank you and get ready for a co-learning experience as we advance together “to restore the dignity of man and woman” [credit to UNN] by fixing frictions in markets. Welcome to the #BestSchool!
