Research

 

Participatory and action-orientated research.

​

We pursue Participatory Research on Management and Leadership in Africa as a responsive approach to the emerging demand for evidence-based social dialogue, debates and knowledge-driven learning.

Our Research Agenda blends both theory and practice. While we work closely with academic researchers, there are also conscious efforts to privilege participatory and action-orientated research that bring and include community members in the research processes, and all our research processes begin and end with social dialogues such as demand driven webinars as well as intentionally cultivated debates. 

 

Objectives of Our Research Agenda:

​

  • Contribute to the generation of knowledge on African management and  leadership and customer service and etiquette. 

  • Develop knowledge products for the Training trainers.

  • Support the co-creation of cutting-edge research-based training programs and enrich our existing learning offers.
