Our Programs

 

mini-MBA

Takes place over four consecutive days, two hours each day in groups of no more than 25 per cohort. We engage with participants through pragmatic, interactive content and exercises to bring a number of tools and practices to life that enable them to be better owner managers of their business. Participants learn how to achieve faster, managed growth, improved revenue and profitability, greater clarity over their personal goals, drivers and greater confidence in the future. The mini-MBA empowers participants to build a valuable business that will be a vehicle for them to create their own narrative of social change. Creating robustness and resiliance. Learn more about the mini-MBA programme here.

Group workshops

An extension of the support we provide post mini-MBA, they are monthly gatherings of our participants across different cohorts. Their purpose is to create a community for our participants to leverage and engage with to sustain long term change. These worklshops have proven to be great for crowd sourcing support and been a valuable practise to create cross-community bridges amongst groups of micro-entrepreneurs from marginalised communities.

1:1 coaching

Post mini-MBA our focus is on creating sustainable change. In order to do so we support our participants for up to six months through one-one coaching, delivered both face to face and remotely where appropriate. The benefits our participants experience are improved critical-thinking skills, self-awareness and confidence in application of the knowledge and skills gained during the mini-MBA programme. Furthermore it empowers them with an enhanced approach to change management and provides support in tackling complex change issues they face on a day to day basis in their business and life; makes them robust individuals.

Accelerate

Our most recent experiment is Accelerate! it takes formal design thinking and agile training to tech and non-tech startups from marginalised communities. We deliver these workshops remotely providing start-up teams formal training in frameworks including Scrum, IDEO, DT framework as well as how to bring practices from multiple frameworks together using Mobius; a framework agnostic canvas.
