The Tekedia Igba-Boi: The Igbo Apprenticeship System program is designed to run for 8 weeks, and is structured to prepare learners on the mechanics of the Igbo business worldview philosophy of entrepreneurial stakeholder capitalism where everyone rises, and not just a few. The program includes pre-recorded videos, written materials, business cases, and live sessions. It is only delivered to a group,and that means a person cannot self-enroll.
As the world looks for how to manage the disruption in global economies as a result of technology which has increased economic inequality, Igba-Boi offers a new path for nations towards a global “onye aghara nwanne ya” [do not leave your brethren behind] under a belief system of stakeholder primacy.
“The Igbos in Africa have been practicing for centuries what is today known as stakeholder capitalism”, we wrote in Harvard Business Review. In Tekedia Institute, we recognize that as the Umunneoma Economics (economics which works for all), and it looks more promising than the Adam Smith Economics. This program will provide the tools, processes and elements necessary to not just understand Igba-Boi, but practice it in markets, in modernized ways. We invite governments, schools, associations, associations, organizations, etc, to register stakeholders.
Email [email protected] with the number of participants; we will provide a quote. The price is very affordable as it is heavily discounted.
