Pan African business learning company, the African Management Institute (AMI), has launched AMI Enterprise.
This is a new division dedicated to boosting workplace and professional skills for growth-stage and established companies.
It leverages AMI’s long-standing position in the continent’s training sectors and its Africa-focused approach that has proven to drive performance among leaders, managers, and Africa’s growing workforce.
Kenya’s Asha Mweru Mbowa has been appointed as Managing Director of AMI Enterprise, having been promoted from her role as AMI’s director of operations and talent.
As operations director, she oversaw a 118 percent growth of employees from 2020 to 2022.
Asha said that the promotion continues the precedent set by AMI in which women represent over 60% of all senior leadership positions at AMI.
“We know that Africa’s business and professional talent are the driving factors behind the growth of the continent’s established and emerging businesses,” she said.
Asha also said that it’s time for Africa to do away with the learning methodologies of the past, not rooted in our own experiences.
“We’re excited to expand our enterprise offerings to reach even more professionals and accelerate the pace at which companies working in Africa’s business ecosystem can achieve their goals and put the continent at the center of the global economy.”
The company equips businesses, managers, and Africa’s future workforce with the practical tools and training they need to succeed and drive growth.
This learning approach incorporates virtual and in-person workshops with on-the-job practice and support accompanied by practical online and mobile learning tools.
AMI’s CEO and co-founder Rebecca Harrison said that the establishment of the enterprise will allow them to scale up support for companies as they grow to be a force in the global economy.
The Enterprise also has an academy solution that provides virtual, on-demand, and localized blended learning.
Asha will lead an AMI Enterprise division with a deep bench including sales and learning delivery team members in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa.
AMI Enterprise will compliment AMI Impact, the company’s other internal division which works alongside development partners to deliver large-scale learning and business growth programs to support the entrepreneurial economy.
