Strategic leadership in the digital era demands more than short-term fixes or narrow departmental expertise. Nigerian organisations that aim to stay relevant must adopt a forward-thinking perspective that touches every facet of operations, from customer engagement to internal processes.

The “Digital Innovation: Stimulating A Culture of Intrapreneurship in A Digital Age” programme, set for May 19 to May 22 in Abu Dhabi, provides leaders with a high-level framework for shaping organisational mindsets, capabilities, and structures.

This programme organised by TEXEM UK is not about merely upgrading a company’s technology stack or refining functional leadership roles; it is about equipping decision-makers to drive comprehensive and sustainable transformation.

Amazon offers a striking illustration of how a strategically aligned, intrapreneurial culture can yield exponential growth and diversification.

While many viewed it only as an online bookstore in its early years, Amazon’s leadership continually leveraged market insights to branch into diverse arenas, ranging from cloud services to smart home devices.

This expansion was not random; it was guided by the belief that every employee could be a source of innovative ideas, tested in controlled but encouraging environments.

Nigerian businesses of all sizes can replicate this principle by fostering an ethos where experimentation is welcomed and strategic alignment is paramount.

Despite the promise of a thriving digital marketplace, leaders in Nigeria frequently encounter three core obstacles.

First, the pace of technological change often outstrips the ability of organisations to build robust strategic frameworks.

By participating in this TEXEM programme, executives learn methodologies for staying ahead of these rapid shifts, ensuring that new technologies are integrated smoothly rather than disruptively.

Second, many firms struggle with limited cross-functional collaboration, which inhibits the free flow of ideas and stifles intrapreneurial thinking.

The interactive sessions in Abu Dhabi, guided by the expertise of Dr. T. B. (Mac) McClelland, Jr., Prof. Rodria Laline, and Prof. John Peters, will leverage TEXEM’s proven and tested methodology—integrating scenario planning, data analytics, and practical workshops—to cultivate strategic thinking.

Through engaging 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.

Additionally, these sessions will equip leaders with the skills to create collaborative networks that transcend departmental silos.

Often, leaders struggle to translate data-driven insights into tangible actions due to organisational inertia.

This programme addresses that challenge by providing practical techniques for transforming analytical findings into strategic moves that drive revenue growth and enhance operational efficiency.

Past delegates have shared their experiences from previous programmes. Otunba Sonya Ogunkuade, Hon. Commissioner and Special Assistant to the President, highlighted the practical approach of the consultants, stating, “I’ve enjoyed their presentations and the real-life examples they incorporate, making the sessions highly engaging and applicable.”

Similarly, Niyi Toluwalope, CEO of eTranzact Group, praised the programme for its depth and impact, noting, “It was incredibly engaging, offering profound insights from exceptional facilitators. It brought together world-class professors, visionary founders, trailblazing innovators, and creative experts with unmatched expertise and rich experiences.”

By enrolling for £5,500, discounted to £4,750 or £4,300 if paid before 10th May, participants position themselves and their organisations to better absorb the shocks of a volatile market.

Through a pedagogy that includes group activities, real-world case discussions, and observation practice, attendees will discover immediately applicable strategies.

Whether one leads a small community-based venture, a national corporation, a government institution, or an international NGO, the lessons are designed to transcend industry boundaries and scale effectively.

Executives can register by contacting TEXEM at +44 7425 883791 or emailing exec@texem.co.uk. As the Nigerian economy grows ever more connected and complex, the time is ripe for leaders to develop strategic capabilities that will allow them to exploit digital opportunities and mitigate emerging risks.(NAN)
