GBSH Consult announces GBSH Business Acceleration Academy (GBAA) Program

PRETORIA, South Africa - Dec. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The GBSH Consult Group  announced the establishment of GBSH Business Acceleration Academy China at the Agenda for Prosperity Trade Mission in Sierra Leone 2013. According to CEO - EMEA of GBSH Consult, Mrs. Catherine Lindiwe, “The goal of the newly established academy is to help companies systematically and efficiently enhance their strategy and organizational and operational capabilities in order to achieve or maintain the leading position in the rapidly changing business environment.”

GBSH Consult Group Chairman and Founder H.E.Dr.Ambassador Tal Edgars officially introduced the academy. “The global economy is changing at a rapid pace. Companies need to have not only a clear strategy but also excellent organizational and operational capabilities if they want to achieve lasting success. With rapid economic development in Africa, the business environment is gradually becoming more mature, and competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Both local companies and multinational companies operating in Africa are facing a series of new challenges and starting to realize the importance of improving their internal capabilities,” he said.

GBSH Consult Group established the academy to fulfill this growing business need and to help companies build capabilities, share knowledge, and develop outstanding business leaders. As an extension of the firm’s Enablement Centers and Trainings, GBSH Business Acceleration Academy provides companies with effective training and capability-building services that leverage GBSH Consult’s strong global resources and rich project experience in Africa.

GBSH Business Acceleration Academy in fact combines three sources of value for companies: corporate training, an information platform, and core capability development.”

GBSH Business Acceleration Academy has developed several sets of training courses for both local companies and multinational companies. The courses are designed specifically to address the unique challenges that those companies face and to provide the capabilities that they need. Through three training formats—short-term, standalone training; project embedded training; and a long-term, ongoing advisory—the academy helps companies equip their mid- to high-level managers with needed core business skills. In addition, GBSH has partnered with various external institutions to provide practical training courses, incorporating the firm’s extensive expertise on strategy and real project experience with the partners’ topic expertise.

As an information platform, GBSH Business Acceleration Academy offers a consolidated source of information for businesses, providing a way to share the latest GBSH research findings and insights with company executives.

GBSH Business Acceleration Academy also helps companies build sustainable core capabilities. It supports their efforts to grow in size and strength through long-term project engagements that leverage both GBSH’s professional consulting teams and the abundant resources of the firm’s Enablement Training Centers.

Compared with other available training programs, GBSH Business Acceleration Academy offers four unique advantages. First, the training courses are based on real business-project experience, not abstract theories: course content includes a large number of actual case studies, which makes the training more practical for companies. Second, because GBSH has been operating in Africa for years, collaborating with businesses from all industries, course materials are truly Africa specific: they are based on GBSH’s in-depth understanding of the business environment in Africa and the globe instead of blindly referring to benchmarks from other parts of the world. Third, GBSH Business Acceleration Academy offers additional services, such as business-insight sharing and capability building, which are closely linked with strategy development and have a strong practical focus. And fourth, the academy leverages GBSH’s extensive global resources: a dedicated team from the firm’s Enablement Training Centers, a large and experienced group of lecturers, proprietary tools and research centers, an extensive case database, and resources from numerous partners—all of which help to expand the coverage and depth of the services provided by the academy.
