Africa First
Our approach and content is built for Africa’s ambitious professionals and teams. With content in 7 languages, African case studies, and experiences led by Africa’s finest facilitators, we put Africa first in everything we do.
I really enjoyed the hands-on approach of the programme, making it practical and easy to apply. I would definitely recommend it!

This experience reminded me of our shared humanity and the importance of our emotions. The emotional intelligence aspect had a lasting impact on me. It's about creating workplaces where being predictable and open leads to trust and acceptance, allowing for better conversations.

These tools are incredibly powerful—I see them as gold. The programme has transformed my understanding of storytelling and its impact. I now fully appreciate how we can craft and use our stories to secure investment and funding opportunities. The Speak Up and Lead course, in particular, has helped me harness storytelling to highlight the values behind our work.

There’s plenty of training content and tools available online, but very little is tailored to the African context. That’s what makes AMI stand out. The facilitators and participants bring local insights into every discussion, ensuring that feedback and guidance are relevant and practical. This has made me more likely to recommend AMI. As an admin at Workpay, I also appreciated their excellent customer service.

As managers, we often take on too much ourselves. I’ve learned how to collaborate better with my team and ensure everyone takes responsibility for their work. I can already see a difference—the team is more engaged and proactive.

I learned how to delegate effectively and build trust within my team using practical coaching tools. The Growth Mindset Learning Lab also helped me improve my presentation skills, making our meetings more engaging. As a result, attendance grew from 100 to 695 in a short time.

Implementing the time management, emotional and communication courses and tools helped me instil trust in the team and increase performance. We were able to improve rotation of duties, decrease faulty meters and increase quality meter production.

Overview
Many managers arrive into their position because they thrived as individual contributors. However, managing requires a different set of skills to deliver results when leading teams to achieve specific goals and targets.
Whether a new or seasoned manager, AMI’s flagship management programme helps individual performers transform into highly effective managers who can lead teams.
AMI's learning approach combines interactive workshops, self-led online learning, team-based activities, on-the-job practice, and real-time feedback, focusing on manager-specific approaches. All experiences ensure managers learn quickly and effectively while on the job.
Throughout the 4-6 month program, participants learn and apply effective tools and approaches on the job. Each participant and cohort works on a strategic “Change Challenge” of their choice to apply new skills and behaviours to effect meaningful change in their role, performance, and the organisation or business they work in.
