Dear SANEC member or associate,

 

Itim International and SANEC cordially invite you to a master class on successful strategies for professionals in Africa. The seminar is designed for Senior Management that is involved with African business, government and institutions. The seminar uses cognitive learning of the extensive scientific research, to real-life case studies, action learning and simulation games. Opportunity will be created to exchange experience between participants.

 

Goals

Africa’s increasing economic and social strength is creating opportunities for institutions and business. At the same time people management is a challenge and almost all organizations come across issues of performance, leadership, diversity of teams and motivation. The best strategies are adapted to context and take the way people are programmed along, their assumptions, logic and working habits. Understanding your own cultural background against these diverse values will help you to be prepared and more effective. An itim executive master class is the result of more than fifty years of academic work of Prof. Dr. Geert Hofstede, one of world’s most cited researchers. Over seventy itim experts, with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, are available to conduct these master classes, to take you from an international presence to true global effectiveness.

 

The seminars help you to

 

  • Understand the common values and cultural assumptions valid for African countries using the Hofstede's model as a framework
  • Reflect on your own values and cultural assumptions Identify cultural specifics for different regions and regions in Africa 
  • Identify specific cross-cultural challenges and their solutions 
  • Apply the cultural awareness through case studies and interactive discussion
