Developing a Best-in-Class Training Academy for Sustained Growth
Amidst the landscape of financial inclusion challenges in Africa, we embarked on the development of a Training Academy for our client. Our mission was twofold: to fast-track market penetration in the insurance sector and establish a low-cost, scalable platform for growth. Focusing on capacity building and skills enhancement, our initiatives aimed to address key challenges, enabling the client to navigate this transformative journey.
