In an era defined by rapidly evolving digital trends, many organisations in Nigeria grapple with the pressing need to remain competitive and resilient. Leaders often find themselves uncertain about how to embed a culture of innovation that keeps pace with a technology-driven marketplace. The forthcoming “Digital Innovation: Stimulating A Culture Of Intrapreneurship In A Digital Age” programme, taking place from 19th to 22nd May 2025 in Abu Dhabi, offers a transformative solution for leaders across all types of organisations—be they small local businesses, large indigenous conglomerates, government agencies, or NGOs. By focusing on strategic capabilities rather than mere functional expertise, this TEXEM programme equips participants with the tools to redefine their organisational futures and avoid the stagnation that comes with clinging to outdated practices.
One global example that illuminates the power of strategic innovation is Netflix. Initially established as a DVD-by-mail service, Netflix identified the impending shift in consumer behaviour towards digital streaming long before its competitors. The company’s leadership demonstrated not just functional competence in technology but a far-reaching strategic outlook that encouraged risk-taking, internal collaboration, and a willingness to pivot. Today, Netflix stands as a premier example of how an intrapreneurial culture can help an organisation thrive in a fast-changing environment. Nigerian organisations that cultivate similar strategic foresight and intrapreneurship can likewise transform market challenges into competitive advantages.
Yet, three major challenges continue to undermine the progress of many organisations in Nigeria. First, there is often an overreliance on reactive approaches, where companies wait for market shifts to become critical before adapting. By attending this programme, leaders will learn to proactively identify and seize new opportunities, building a reservoir of strategic options rather than scrambling for last-minute solutions. Second, an absence of structured intrapreneurship frequently hampers the generation of new ideas and products, as employees lack the framework to experiment and fail quickly in a supportive setting. This programme organised by TEXEM UK emphasises how to establish systems and mindsets that nurture creativity and innovation at every level of the enterprise. Third, some leaders struggle to align digital initiatives with broader organisational goals, leading to wasted investments in technology that fail to yield tangible results. The carefully curated sessions and practical learning methodologies will offer approaches to synchronise digital investments with strategic objectives, ensuring maximum return on effort and resources.
Past delegates have shared their experiences from previous programmes. Anne Omezi, Director of ICT at NMDPRA, described it as “an enriching and transformative experience”, adding that she gained valuable insights and skills she is eager to apply. Similarly, Niyi Toluwalope, CEO of eTranzact Group, praised the programme for its engaging nature and profound insights, stating, “It brought together world-class professors, visionary founders, trailblazing innovators, and creative experts with unmatched expertise and rich experiences.”
The cost of the programme is £5,500, discounted to £4,750, with a further reduction to £4,300 for those who complete payment on or before 10th May. This fee covers study materials and certification, offering lasting value that extends well beyond the four days in Abu Dhabi. The faculty, which includes Dr. T. B. (Mac) McClelland, Jr. on 20th May, Professor Rodria Laline on 21st May, and Professor John Peters on 22nd May, comprises thought leaders who have guided global organisations to success.
Who will leverage TEXEM’s proven and tested methodology—integrating scenario planning, data analytics, and practical workshops—to cultivate strategic thinking. Through interactive approaches such as case studies, peer-to-peer discussions, role play, and group work, participants will gain actionable insights to empower their teams, foster innovation, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.
Their collective insights, coupled with a methodology that includes games, case studies, and peer-to-peer learning, promise an immersive experience that teaches the “how” of strategic innovation, not just the “what.”
