As an APP Supplier, IIA Learning-Academy helps me scale and grow my businesses. I use this platform to access a library of courses, practical tools and social features that guides me in developing my businesses.
Invest in Africa (IIA-Kenya) has partnered with the African Management Initiative (AMI) to help its entrepreneurs scale and grow their businesses! You will have access to AMI's library of courses, practical tools and social features.
This is a 1-year programme where participants will be guided through the key steps of developing their business – understanding the market demand, who their customer is and how to reach them; how to create a cost-effective product or service; developing, testing and refining their business model; how to get funding for the business and manage their finances; how to stay productive, focused and resilient as they get their business going.
Participants are provided with a branded online 'Academy' to anchor the learning experience. The AMI academy hosts materials drawn from AMI's library of 50+ online courses and over 3,000 practical tools as well as localised case studies. AMI's platform is easy-to-use and optimised for mobile, meaning you can learn anytime, anywhere.
A core part of the programme is peer learning. Learning with AMI is fun and interactive, drawing on the power of peer learning and social networking. Participants have an online profile to showcase their skills and learning achievements to their peers. Participants can connect, engage, share best-practices and learn from each other, ensuring that the learning sticks.
Learning is successful when it translates into improved performance and results on the job. AMI integrates with a learning, development and performance management tool that combines 360 competency analyses, competency maps, performance and goal planning to track your progress on your goals.
