74 THOUGHTS ON Digital Board for Tekedia Mini-MBA Edition 2 (June 22 – Oct 22)

  1. I am glad to be a part of this mini MBA edition 2. i am certain i will make a tremendous contribution to the advancement of the company where i work.

      • Prof,
        I observe you have a lot of live data and information on many companies and systems. For someone who wants to carry out a details market research in Nigeria, what are the sources of data and information. I ask this given that information throws out a lot of garbage.

  2. So anxious and excited to be part of this journey, This is actually my first time of coming out of my circle box,hope this 4month journey will be worth the while,thank you in advance

  3. Dear Prof, Ndubuisi,
    I registered to participate in the mini-MBA starting tomorrow, what time is it starting?
    I reside and work in Ghana, which is 1hr less than Nigeria, can you please advise me the time schedule please, to plan my self and my calendar..

    Highly expectant participant,

  4. To show how serious I have taken the Tekedia Mini-MBA, I decided to use it as a break since I have not gone for vacation for the past three years, installed unlimited internet access, established a company, resigned from my work, all just to concentrate on the course for the next four (4) months. I hope to have a positive story to tell after the completion of the course by God’s grace.

  8. Good Morning Prof,
    I really enjoyed the lectures delivered yesterday at first hearing, with that I believe by the time I go through it all over again, I will understand it more. Interestingly how the lecture on Digital Transformation, Innovation & Strategy has pointed out what I should be doing on my newly born business, I’m trying to start a business on buying and selling of already made clothes for women and children, food stuff and as well as other things which my customers will be asking for. I believe that at the end, I will get the directions I need to commence my business and as well as sustain it.

    Thank you.

  10. This year I decided to start my entrepreneurial journey with Tekedia Mini-MBA. I am so excited to take this decision. Over the years I focused primarily on software development without entrepreneurial skills and this slows down my success financially. One day I stumbled on a book, a Jewish business principles book and I read a passage that says that successful people are entrepreneurs and to be successful you need to transition your professional skills into entrepreneurship. The insights gained in this week1 of the program has already created an upsurge believe in me that the future is better than I earlier thought

    Thank you so much prof.

  12. I can’t join the Whatsapp group because the group is full and can’t find the link to join the telegram and slack groups. Please assist.

  13. Navigating to this page from the home page is not that easy when using a mobile phone. The “mini-MBA” link on the menu tab still links to mini-MBA 1st edition. I think that should updated.

  15. Hello Prof. I have registered for this second edition Mini-MBA. I was sent the email with instructions on setting a password. I can login to the site ,see the courses but can’t access them to begin. This is the second week. I’ve emailed the team, they keep sending me the same email. This is not the first time I’m taking an online course. This is not only frustrating,but time wasting. I wish I could send you snapshots of the pages I get redirected to whenever I click on the “login as a member” option. Please sir, help resolve this as soon as possible.

  16. Please how can I get access to the slack or WhatsApp team, to enable me interact with other course mates??? Please help thanks

  18. Hi Prof.
    I had access difficulties this morning with the webinar. Is there an offline version recorded which I can view?
    Thanks KR John

  19. Hello Prof….. I seem to be missing a lot in this program, I have not been punctual with the live classes for reasons not intentional… Please how can I have access to the webinar and the class discussion… Thank you

  20. @Prof. N. Ekekwe, when will the Week 3 link become active? I believe there is a webinar at 11 AM today to make up for some of the issues from Saturday. Are you planning to put up the Week3 link after this webinar?

  21. Goodday Prof,is there a platform like whattapp group or telegram group ?will like to join to get update.secondly,due to nature of job missed live sessions,is there a link to watch the session video.Thank you sir for this great opportunity the journey so far has been great and insightful.

  22. Good Afternoon Prof, my objectives for the programme is in three folds: 1. Becoming a better process champion in my present responsibility, 2. Establish an investment club and 3. Leveraging on digital channels to optimised supply chain. Within three weeks, the objectives are getting clearer Thank you for putting up this progrmme.

  23. Good morning Prof, how do I asses the early bird bonus for second edition ( Africa’s Sankofa Innovation and the free cyber security)?

    Thank you.
    Ijeoma Uduma Etea.

  27. This is my response to John’s feedback:
    (https://www.tekedia.com/in-one-side-of-processors-and-out-the-other/)

    In one of our sessions, I used the “Intel Inside” campaign as a case study on perception branding. One of our co-learners, John Mc Keown, has some perspectives. He has called it “Inside Out” branding and also did some postulations on the effectiveness of the Intel Corp campaign.  Reading his feedback, we are largely on the same page.

    AMD, then a major competitor of Intel on processors for laptops and desktops, had protracted years of stock value erosion. Wall Street did not give it any chance as Intel took over the air, even though AMD technology was not evidently poor.

    So, in that case, Intel “slaughtered” AMD with that campaign through an effective change of the perception of users and Wall Street. AMD stock tanked; Intel stock rose. But nothing changed on core technologies – a campaign was the difference.

    • You submit Lab if you paid the extra N10k. Otherwise, you keep it. Lab #1 comes next week, we will provide instructions in lecture notes on how to submit the Lab for Review/feedback for those who paid for that.

  29. Am impressed prof. the lectures are have been great. The books subjected by Edward Hudgins, PHD. are great books, and his presentation is mind stimulating. The live discuss and subsequent video post was a superb idea, timing might be a great challenge for some of us.

    How can we get the hard copy of the Dangote Book? most of us might not be chanced to read it online …. is the e-copy available?

  32. I started this Mini-MBA as an employee (100%) Regional Sales and Marketing Manager, I am finishing as a prospective employer of labour.

    During the course, I noticed a friction which I could fix comfortable while still being employed, I took advantage of my already existing contacts in my present industry to set up what would become “the most audacious wine outlet East of the Niger” That is, Embassey Wine World.

    We are launching on the 8th of November 2020, our flagship office is at #43 Udi Street, by Owerri Road Umuahia (opposite Shoprite main gate) Abia State.

    We hope to “satisfy our customers by providing Original Products at the Best Prices”.

    Many thanks to Tekedia Academy for the new constructs learned while the programme lasted.

  33. We have just completed the last of our drilling contracts in West Africa and coupled with the harsh economic realities of Covid-19, many of us were redundant. I had a passion to set up a consulting outfit but with limited vision. However, half way into this project, I already knew what I wanted. It is a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company. We provide Business Process Services in various fields (like HR & Training, Marketing, Accounting, Supply Chain, Admin & Management etc.) to start ups and SMEs. We target people in paid employment that want to set up side hustles and we can provide full management services. Our services are on commission. We are in Lagos and Port Harcourt and we have started having interested clients already. We will still require a lot of support in many areas and partnerships.

    Many thanks to TEKEDIA. I will be willing to attend many more of your quality courses. Before I was blind but now I can see. INNOVATION

  34. Good day,

    Is it possible to make the professor’s book (AFRICA’S SANKOFA INNOVATION) accessible here on the MINI-MBA SESSION 2 digital board, like it was done with the DANGOTE SYSTEM book on week 6, to make it easily accessible?

  35. Thanks for your quick response professor. I managed to gain access to your book via the above link. After reading the preamble, I think it is a powerful book that every African should read and have as a tool to drive innovation here in Continental Africa by the Africans here and in the diaspora.

    • Your course is still here – you will have access till June next year. Take your time and go through it now that you have time. We understand that some received promotions and could not find time. But now that things are re-settling with holidays coming, you can get all done.
