The AMI Intervention

AMI Sits at the Intersection of Three Disciplines

  • How do people actually learn and embed new skills? Kolb's experiential cycle, Jennings' 70:20:10, Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve, and the four stages of competence, moving from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence, underpin everything we design.

  • What drives firm growth in African markets? We build on research by McKenzie, Bloom & Van Reenen, and Woodruff to identify the management practices that drive productivity and survival, and design every programme around them.

  • What drives human behaviour and change? We build Owner Mindset — the fuel of persistence, agency, and learning from failure that keeps people in the cycle when it gets hard.

AMI’s 4-stage practical learning approach drives real-world application and outcomes. Every learning journey combines human support from learner success managers, facilitators and coaches with AMI's AI-enabled learning platform and peer learning, tailored to each learner's needs.

AMI Continuous Learning Model

Our Evidence-Based Method: A Four-Stage Process, On Repeat

Approach WHeel.png

AMI’s continuous learning model follows a four-stage cycle, which repeats over the course of each programme. The ultimate goal is tangible business outcomes, through a focus on the application of behaviours and practices that are proven to win.

​

Our tech-forward approach starts with a ‘Discover’ diagnostic phase to ensure every learning journey is targeted and relevant. Learners then engage in live interactive ‘Learning Labs’ led by Africa’s top facilitators. Between workshops, they access practical tools and training from our digital learning platform, and apply new behaviours and practices on the job, and in the business.

​

The result is improved performance - for learners, and their organisations.
