Overview

One of the main challenges we have in East Africa is the level of skill in our core employees, those who work with our clients and in the delivery of work in our organisations.

Whereas an effective organisation requires a sound strategy and effective management, we recognise that employees are indeed the heart of every organisation; and are key in influencing performance.

To aid in the enablement and development of these individuals we offer the Business Foundations Programme.

Introduction

In the course of running/ owning a business, you will learn valuable lessons, make mistakes, and gain a lot of experience. Unfortunately, sometimes some lessons are learnt too late. When these skills are gained early, they boost your effectiveness, professional growth and the overall underlying value of your business.

A complete understanding of business structures and functions that apply to any organizations is essential in making informed solutions and delivering long term value.

This programme provides a solid understanding of the business value chain, business etiquette, effective customer service and interpersonal communication skills.

For Who

This programme is designed for key personnel within organisations that may be at a supervisory level or work as individual contributors.

Individuals who conduct the work and provide the service the organisation is designed to offer.
