Winning In Turbulent Times: TEXEM UK Unveils a Transformational Programme for Nigerian Leaders

TEXEM Unveils Interactive Learning Experience to Equip Executives with Winning Strategies in Today’s Disruptive Landscape

TEXEM UK, a leading global learning and development organisation, has set its sights on empowering business leaders to excel in today’s challenging and uncertain business landscape. In a statement on their website, Caroline Lucas, TEXEM’s Director of Special Projects, emphasized the crucial need for strategic executives to develop winning strategies that will enrich their businesses and organisations. These strategies, she asserted, hold the power to guide leaders in making profitable decisions even in the face of turbulent climates. “This programme is actionable and would reflect the contextual realities that organisations operating in Nigeria and Africa currently face,” the statement explained.

With the world witnessing unprecedented disruptions, the business environment has become more volatile than ever before. In light of this reality, TEXEM is offering a unique opportunity for senior executives and organisational leaders to equip themselves with practical skills and actionable insights through its interactive learning experience themed “Winning in Turbulent Times.” The programme, scheduled to take place from July 12th to 13th, 2023, at The Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos, aims to help participants develop strategies that foster sustainable success amidst uncertainty.

TEXEM’s renowned faculty is composed of distinguished professionals, and participants will have the opportunity to engage in a professional exchange with critical partners and colleagues. This invaluable interaction will offer fresh perspectives and enrich the learning experience, providing participants with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape.

The programme’s comprehensive methodology includes group and individual impactful activities, ever-to-ever learning, games, observation practice, and self-reflection. TEXEM believes that learning should be both fun and engaging and by employing this innovative approach, participants will gain deeper insights into creating growth opportunities and developing organisational strategies to thrive in times of disruption.

One of the key highlights of TEXEM’s programme is the deployment of case studies through the tested and proven methodology. Professor Rodria Laline, Founding Director of Harvard University’s Maximise Your Board’s Potential Programme, will lead this renowned faculty. Prof. Laline’s vast experience as a former Visiting Professor at prestigious institutions such as INSEAD, IMD, and IESE, as well as her role as Co-Founder of Global Chipcard Alliance, brings a wealth of knowledge to the program.

Having collaborated with industry giants like IBM, ING, Hewlett-Packard, and Oracle Corporation during her tenure as CEO of Global Research and Development, Prof. Laline’s expertise is expected to offer invaluable insights to participants. Additionally, her advisory role to the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and her involvement as a board member of The Open Software Foundation further solidifies her reputation as an industry expert.

“We designed this programme to empower leaders with the ability to make well-informed decisions swiftly and adapt to unexpected challenges,” said Prof. Rodria Laline. “By improving their analytical rigour and managing ambiguity better, participants will be better equipped to lead their organisations to sustainable success.”

The challenges faced by organisations in Nigeria are significant, with the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war affecting countries worldwide. In Nigeria, widespread insecurity, soaring inflation, high capital costs, supply chain disruptions, and new cybersecurity threats have compounded the already complex business environment. These challenges have resulted in dramatic forex fluctuations, low or negative GDP growth, and dwindling government and business revenue. The exodus of skilled staff and declining productivity further add to the complexities faced by businesses.

As Nigeria’s corporate landscape grapples with various challenges, TEXEM UK’s programme comes as a timely and much-needed opportunity for leaders to equip themselves with the tools necessary to overcome adversities. The interactive nature of the programme, combined with the expertise of distinguished faculty members such as Prof. Rodria Laline, promises to deliver an enriching and transformative learning experience. By attending this programme, senior executives and leaders will gain a competitive edge in managing their organisations, thereby steering them towards a future marked by triumphs amidst turbulent times.
