The new division leverages AMI’s long-standing position in the continent's training sector and its Africa-focused approach, proven to drive performance among leaders, managers, and Africa’s growing workforce. Kenya’s Asha Mweru Mbowa has been appointed as Managing Director of AMI Enterprise, having been promoted from her role as AMI’s Director of Operations and Talent, where she oversaw a 118% growth of AMI employees from 2020 to 2022.

We know that Africa’s business and professional talent are the driving factor behind the growth of the continent’s established and emerging businesses,” said Mrs. Mweru Mbowa who is based in Accra, Ghana. The Africa-based learning company equips businesses, managers, and Africa’s future workforce with the practical tools and training they need to succeed and drive growth. AMI’s proven learning approach incorporates virtual and in-person workshops with on-the-job practice and support accompanied by practical online and mobile learning tools. Programmes are delivered by experienced world-class and African-based facilitators. “AMI was founded nearly a decade ago with a vision for enabling Africa’s ambitious enterprises to thrive through practical management tools and training. We’ve grown rapidly, supporting leaders and managers at thousands of organisations, from Raddison Blue and Uber to Africa’s own rising stars such as M-KOPA and RwandAir. Our practical business learning is proven to accelerate Africa’s entrepreneurial economy. The recent establishment of AMI Enterprise as a core division will allow us to scale up our support for these companies as they grow to be a force in the global economy,” said Rebecca Harrison, AMI’s CEO and co-founder. “There’s no one more qualified than Asha Mweru Mbowa to lead AMI Enterprise as we respond to the rapid growth and demand across Africa for AMI’s corporate and growth-stage business training programmes.” AMI’s Enterprise clients can select from AMI’s 4-6 month flagship leadership, management and workforce performance programmes, shorter 1-2 month focused professional power skills programmes, and AMI’s E nterprise Academy solution which provides virtual, on-demand and localised blended learning for hundreds of participants.

AMI learning programmes incorporate African-contextualized content and case studies based on African businesses and management experiences.

She served as an Investment Advisor with Novastar Ventures and in key leadership roles with Kenya’s business education company, Sinapis Group. Asha is active as an experienced entrepreneur and is the co-founder of Women Work Kenya, a technology-driven company focused on the advancement of African women entrepreneurs and professionals through digital communities and access to growth opportunities. She also serves as an Advisory board member of LendHer Capital and Profish Ghana Limited. Mrs. Mweru Mbowa is currently pursuing a Masters in Liberal Arts, Management from the Harvard Extension School and is a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business and Information Technology from Strathmore University. She will lead an AMI Enterprise division with a deep bench and an ever-growing footprint across the continent, including sales and learning delivery team members in Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Senegal, and Nigeria.

Founded by Wandia Gichuru and Anne Marie Burugu in 2011, Vivo is East Africa’s fastest-growing fashion business. The company designs and manufactures all their clothing in Africa and is now East Africa’s largest ladies’ fashion brand. With branches across Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, Vivo felt the need to improve their management approach to maximise business growth. They identified issues within their management team, such as missed deadlines, turnaround times and poor communication. To address these challenges, Vivo partnered with AMI and introduced the Management Development Programme. Fourteen managers joined this six-month programme to develop essential skills for handling workplace challenges. Before the programme, some team leaders struggled to motivate their teams, leading to communication problems and missed deadlines. The programme’s tool, “Getting The Message Across,” helped managers improve their communication skills, making it easier to convey messages and link outcomes to objectives. Vivo values customer satisfaction, but delivering consistent service across multiple branches was challenging. The programme helped Emily Gor, the Regional Manager, create a community ofproblem solvers. “Continuous customer service training has improved our readiness to respond to client inquiries and concerns,” said Gor. “As a result, the motivated sales team has increased customer satisfaction to 85%, sales conversion rose from 14% to 15%, and the average basket size grew by 113%. Additionally, 95% of the stores achieved at least 80% of their monthly targets.” The programme addressed operational inefficiencies, leading to better productivity and financial savings. It helped the team reduce stock discrepancies by 70%, minimising losses and improving processes. Vivo managers continue to implement the practices they learned ensuring ongoing improvements in their operations and team dynamics. The results show that AMI was the right fit: 93% of participants feeling more effective at work and 100% indicating they would recommend AMI.

As she helps her employees solve problems, Patie tracks her fashion business money better All Stories Patie M Position: Business Owner Company: Patie M Apparel Programme: Grow Your Business Country: South Africa As a fashion designer who studied building construction, Patie quickly got employed in the clothing industry upon graduation. It was then that she identified a need for more clothing businesses, so she quit her first job and opened Patie M Apparel in 2017. Patie M Apparel designs and creates swimwear and lingerie for young working women as well as custom designs for men and young children. The business also trains young men and women in her trade in a 6-week programme that equips them with technical skills in sewing and pattern-making, along with some basic business knowledge. This is a significant part of the business that Patie begun. She aspired to not only train her own employees but to help girls in her community, including teenage pregnant girls without access to opportunities and education. After the training, some girls either stay to work in her business with her or start their own. So far, three trainees have gone on to build successful businesses and four trainees (a man and 3 women) are currently employed at Patie M apparel. As she updated her social media pages one day, Patie learned about the AMI training on social media. Through the training, Patie was able to work on her financial management. Now, she tracks her paperwork and takes note of financial details in order to keep a trail and make better business decisions. She has also started delegating work to her team. “Before, I gave an employee a task and the moment they encountered a problem, I’d solve it for them and end up doing the work. But the AMI programme taught me to support them in finding solutions. That way, my do-it-all tendency was overcome, for the good of my business.”
