What can NTN GLOBAL CONSULTANTS programmes do for you?

Here is what some of the former participants had to say about the programmes.

“It was indeed a pleasure and refreshing experience meeting you in Dubai. The program was exciting, educative and an eye opener to me. Lessons learnt were fantastic. I will really look forward to seeing you in Ghana to impart such great knowledge to our colleagues on the SSNIT board.” - Alex Frimpong, CEO, Ghana National Employers Association, Board Member & Committee Chairperson, SSNIT, Ghana

“NTN GLOBAL CONSULTANTS’s Leading the Board programme helped me understand more deeply how to navigate the governance issues board leaders are facing today. NTN GLOBAL CONSULTANTS’s instructors, in particular, Dr. Olu Ajayi, were top notch, and the people they brought in to speak with us were experienced executives who were able to engage us with tried strategies. As the Director-General of a regulatory body, I found the programme particularly useful to my organisation. Our clients are large public companies, and we help them identify their current and emerging governance issues. Finally, the course was of great usefulness to me personally as a leader. - Gilliard Ngewe, Director-General, Surface & Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA), Tanzania

“As we worked through the exercises, I came to understand that the issues I struggle with are the same ones that challenge directors who have served on boards for years. To be an effective board member, you really need to vet your conscience and speak up, even if your idea is contrary to the prevailing sentiment within the group. Board members must also be cognizant of conflicts of interest that exist among board members, and also within themselves. Making Boards Work: Board Evaluation & Board Effectiveness was, without doubt, the best board development programme I have attended.” - Professor Joshua Alabi, Vice-Chancellor, University of Professional Studies (UPSA), Ghana, & Chairman of SSNIT

“NTN GLOBAL CONSULTANTS’s Leading the Board takes corporate governance to an entirely new level with a new leadership framework – so we know when to lead, when to work with management, and when to avoid micro-management! This approach is cutting edge, as was the thought leadership that emerged during our peer-to-peer discussions. An energising experience and a ‘must-attend’ for all board members.” - Hon. Danson Mungatana, Chair, Kenya Ports Authority

“Leading the Board provides the essential road map for corporate leadership. With gripping accounts and compelling illustrations, Dr. Olu Ajayi shows how directors can lead in strategic partnership with company executives. This is a game changer, required programme for all who seek to bring out the best in their boards.” - Sherif Fakhry Younes, Company Secretary, Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, Dubai, UAE

“There is nothing like learning from three world-leading practitioners on advancing board capabilities to get the company to raise its game.” - Walid Ali Falah Al Mansoori, Board Member, Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, Dubai, UAE

“Amazing! Dr. Olu Ajayi is most impressive and a powerful inspiration. I have got more than my money’s worth! I found the information provided immediately useful to my work context. I came in looking to get a certificate, and left with a vision. Unlike previous courses I have attended which were merely conceptual, this is a transforming experience.” - Geraldine Ssali, Acting Director-General, NSSF, Uganda

“This programme, complete with compelling anecdotes and practical information, brilliantly explores how creative, flexible, and innovative processes for transforming organisations. Highly educative and powerfully translates the learning from the programme into an action plan for transformation.” - Peter Issaka Azuma, CEO, Ghana Maritime Authority

“Leading the Board is full of real-world examples that directors can use to improve their leadership and decision making—an impressive one-stop shop outlining board member roles, responsibilities, and actions, including the boundaries that boards and companies often fail to recognize. The checklists for putting this advice into action are comprehensive and practical - the best I have seen.” - His Excellency Adamu Saidu Daura, Council Member, Umaru Musa Yaradua University, Katsina, Nigeria

“The programme was certainly worth attending and I am sure can only benefit others. I will certainly be NTN GLOBAL CONSULTANTS’s Ambassador and look forward to joining the change management programme. Also thank you very much for the hospitality extended and more so for taking time to come with me to the Lion King performance which was undoubtedly fantastic.” - Andrew Kanime, Deputy Board Chairman, Namibian Ports Authority

“The programme has helped to enlighten my approach to board membership and leadership. It has also increased my understanding of the necessary distinction between strategy, its execution and the tasks each member of the board of directors should be performing” - Professor Iddi S. N. Mkilaha, Director-General, Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission & Board Member, SUMATRA, Tanzania

“Brilliant! Very useful insights combined with practical and relevant knowledge in essential fields; and excellent delivery by Dr. Olu Ajayi.” - Judy Obitre-Gama, Board Member, Bank of Uganda
