THE TRAININGS COURSES
we can deliver a solution to suit your organization’s
unique needs. Our training courses can be tailored or completely customized, combined with consulting.
1.Management & Leadership in the New world, Preparing your workforce for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Find out how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is transforming the type of work people do,
and how it is done. While 4IR offers new opportunities, Africa and its people (businesses
and organizations) currently stand to be left behind without such trainings.
This training course teaches government MDAs and all organizations how to take a more
proactive role in preparing their workforce to ensure they are 4IR ready.The workforce of
today’s world. At the same time, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) —the marriage of
physical assets and digital technologies—is transforming how and where work is done.
For today’s worker (government civil and public and business), this revolution will
significantly shape their roles as the future workforce, consumers, and competitors.
Automation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and robotics mean all organizations must
rethink how and where work is done. These developments have the power to reshape
organizational structures, cultures and processes. As organizations are forced to consider
the implications of the future of work, they should undertake this training course which
will provide powerful strategies in areas such as new workplace needs, culture, and
engagement.
2.4IR for Government Civil and Public Sector Workers
Find out how the 4IR has placed public sector leadership squarely in the spotlight, as
leaders will now have to provide policy directives by having a sound and ethical
knowledge of the 4IR. The rapid pace of change requires governments to understand
the technological domain and its consequences for society. An ethically adept
government which can comprehend complicated issues such as the personal ownership of data, security of social infrastructure and the rights and responsibilities attached to it,
requires a new cohort of public leaders. These leaders will have to comprehensively
understand who benefits from the 4IR, the possible global financial disparities as a
consequence of the 4IR, and the type of workforce needed in the 4IR. The Fourth
Industrial Revolution will bring massive change and opportunity to the way we work, play
and build relationships. Often overlooked in the analysis of how diffusion of new
technologies occurs are the thousands of public officials – such as government policy
developers, regulators and health and safety inspectors – that form a key interface
between technology and the public.
The speed and constantly adapting nature of Fourth Industrial Revolution products and
services – from 3D printing-enabled clothing and consumer goods, to nanotechnology-
enabled medical interventions and even weapons – will place great strain on existing
regulatory systems. The inability to control and the time pressures to respond to diffusion
into the real economy will be constant. In addition, the linear relationship between new
technologies and the public, which used to travel largely through the regulatory system
before emerging for public consumption, is breaking down. The public tests and
experiences new technologies before their social and environmental impacts are fully
known. Adapting to these new realities, and harnessing them, is critical for both the
sustainability of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the relevance of public institutions in
our cities and nations. Five skills will be critical for public officials to engage effectively
with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
3.Introduction to Data Science for Economic and public policy formation
Learn that there are many sectors that are being disrupted by Data Science: e.g.
economic policy, finance, insurance, healthcare; public policy. They are highly
regulated sectors so they also need thorough documentation of modelling processes.
Many economists go into client-facing roles in those sectors, so they become well-
accustomed to summarizing the output of quantitative projects to clients and develop a
thorough domain knowledge (e.g. of regulatory issues). Data plays an important role in
the lives of public policy makers. Data can help answer the following questions:
•What are the effects (intended or unintended) of our policies on different groups?
•How much will these policies cost?
•Can we predict whether this policy will be feasible? Can we really get it done?
•Will we have buy-in from our stakeholders?
Social media, review sites, search terms, cellphones, the Internet of Things, GIS and
drones, CCTV cameras, satellites, traffic sensors—there is a large amount of data now
available for policy analysis. Data science uses statistics, computer science, quantitative
methods, and big data tools to create more effective public policies. It melds machine-
generated data (e.g. sensors) with citizen-gathered data to predict events. it mines social
media and the Internet for behavior patterns. They create beautiful data visualization
programs to demonstrate the effects of decisions to politicians. Their findings have major
applications in:
•Infrastructure/Smart Cities (e.g. reducing traffic congestion and vehicle pollution)
•Law Enforcement (e.g. predicting street violence and reducing crime rates)
•Public Health (e.g. quashing epidemics before they spread)
•Government Fraud (e.g. finding tax dodgers)
•Education (e.g. improving high school graduation rates)
•Employment (e.g. increasing workforce quality)
•Housing (e.g. creating permanent housing for the homeless)
This course will expose the government MDAs worker to the new and critical world of
data science.
4.Artificial Intelligence perspectives for Directors in Governmentlic Policy formation, Analysis & Diagnostics
Learn about how Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to
rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to
improve decision making especially economic and public policy making. AI is already
transforming every walk of life. This training course discusses and exposes AI’s application
across a variety of sectors with emphasis on economic and public policy formation.
Despite its widespread lack of familiarity, AI is a technology that is transforming every walk
of life. It is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate
information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making. This
training course explains AI to an audience of policymakers, opinion leaders, (especially
from the economics, finance, accounting and budgeting sectors) and demonstrate how
AI already is altering the world and raising and transforming the important questions for
society, the economy, and governance.
5.Artificial Intelligence perspectives for Directors in Government
Learn how times have changed. AI is now widely considered a “general purpose technology, Nigeria has to consider it the same now and quickly. AI is seen as the solution to managerial, commercial, and even societal problems. What is still receiving less attention and awareness is the impact of AI on governance. In this training course, we discuss novel applications in national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities, etc… and address issues such as data access problems, algorithmic bias, AI ethics and transparency, and legal liability for AI decisions. We contrast the regulatory approaches of the U.S. and European Union.
6.Data Analytics for trade policy and facilitation
With the exponential growth and availability of data in recent years causing such a big phenomenon within the global trade community, how we capture data is becoming more important than ever before. There are various statements out there about data being “the new oil, and like oil, data needs to be refined before it gets value”. Having easy access to data has become essential in gaining more insight and visibility into the global trade supply chain in order to control and facilitate the movement of goods through the European Union. Due to the increasing rate and complexity at which the global trade environment is growing, both Customs and traders are being faced with more challenges than ever before and must take advantage of innovative and new technologies to gain insight into big data. The need for real time data is the key in been able to transform big data to identify opportunities, trends, detect errors and drive insights.
7.Legal Aspects of Artificial Intelligence in business, household and public sector
The subject matter of this stationary workshop is the discussion of legal framework applicable to Artificial Intelligence with international focus. By discussing the application of Artificial Intelligence, various types of Artificial Agents in many spheres of life will be considered, including: business activity, household, and the public sector. During the workshop different definitions of Artificial Intelligence will be considered and discussed from a legal point of view. The workshop will also encompass liability issues connected with the use of Artificial Intelligence, including robots. Various concepts of liability will be assessed. During the workshop various examples of the application of Artificial Intelligence will be included. In addition, recommendations for future legislation will be presented and analyzed. At the outset of the workshop a knowledge test will be conducted.
8.New Essential 4IR Skills capability building for Civil and Public sectors
Learn why amid 4IR and digital transformation, workforce capability building is vital at
every level of the organization. Learn a smart, four-tiered approach taught by DACC
International and SBS Swiss Business School, used by the OECD which helps leaders
develop tailored learning journeys. Understanding the dynamics of 4IR changes is
fundamental to assess the requisite skills for accessing economic opportunities and
identifying which opportunities will likely exist in future. Digital transformation impacts not
only workers but also individual businesses, industries and national economic prospects.
Study disruptive changes to business and management models which now have a
profound impact on the employment landscape over the coming years. Many of the
major drivers of transformation currently affecting global industries are expected to have a significant impact on jobs, ranging from significant job creation to job displacement,
and from heightened labor productivity to widening skills gaps. In many industries and
countries, the most in-demand occupations or specialties did not exist 10 or even five
years ago, and the pace of change is set to accelerate. By one popular estimate, 65%
of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely
new job types that don’t yet exist.1 In such a rapidly evolving employment landscape,
the ability to anticipate and prepare for future skills requirements, job content and the
aggregate effect on employment is increasingly critical for businesses, governments and
individuals in order to fully seize the opportunities presented by these trends—and to
mitigate undesirable outcomes.
9.Emotional intelligence for growth in the 4IRg for Civil and Public sectors
Be exposed to knowledge that the Fourth Industrial Revolution introduces integrated adjustments to the way we interact with the world around us, including new advancements like the Internet of Things, the Internet of Systems, artificial intelligence, and more. We’re looking at not just technological assistance, but a flourishing form of technological assimilation. Find out why a large majority of the organizations we surveyed in developed and emerging economies, (83%) believe that a highly emotionally intelligent workforce will be a requisite for success in the years to come.We also see that demand for EI skills will multiply by, on average, six times across countries in the next three to five years. Demand for emotional intelligence skills will be high across all sectors, the highest being financial services (insurance and retail banking).
10.Research and Economic Development in the 4IR
Be exposed to interactive discussions and lectures on The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)—characterized by the fusion of the digital, biological, and physical worlds, as well as the growing utilization of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, 3D printing, the Internet of Things, and advanced wireless technologies, among others—has ushered in a new era of economic disruption with uncertain socio-economic consequences for Africa.However, Africa has been left behind during the past industrial revolutions. Will this time be different? So far, it does not appear that Africa has yet claimed the 21st century, as it still lags behind in several indicators essential for a successful digital revolution . Improvements in Africa’s ICT sector have been largely driven by expanding mobile digital financial services: The region had nearly half of global mobile money accounts in 2018 and will see the fastest growth in mobile money through 2025. But artificial intelligence (AI) and block chain are also attracting interest in Africa, as they have the potential to successfully address social and economic challenges there. And there are so many other areas in which 4IR technology can be transformational.
11.Socio Economic Development in the 4IR New World
Be exposed to interactive discussions and lectures on how Africa has her own sets of
values, beliefs, traditions, and habits known as our sociocultural values. These values
shape how Africans approach risk, how Africans view careers, how Africans perceive
money, wealth, status and the African idea of an ideal lifestyle. Because of this, we know
that sociocultural values are main and critical factors that impact economic
development within a continent or country. We know that African sociocultural values
are what shapes what African believe their status and place should be in world and
international Affairs.
Learn that Economic development is achieved when a society shifts away from
thinking’s, beliefs, traditions and practices that keep it as mainly raw mineral exporting,
agricultural-based living standards consumer nations into industrialized and business-
driven societies. Because sociocultural values influence how we, as people in society,
interact with the world, they also influence how we approach the process of economic
development. Be inspired by the vision of all Africans living in a highly socio-economically
developed Africa. Learn the critical importance of constantly implementing innovative
socio-cultural and socio economic initiatives/interventions to transform African socio
cultural values towards achieving a highly socio economically developed Africa.
12.Strategy and Management Embracing Digital Transformation
Designed to equip leaders with the essential skills and knowledge needed to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Participants will explore digital transformation leadership, data-driven decision-making, and innovation strategies to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. The course will also cover cybersecurity and risk management, strategic partnerships, and financial acumen.Through interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and networking opportunities,attendees will develop actionable insights to drive growth, profitability, and organizational success in an increasingly digital world.
13.Management & Leadership in the New World: Preparing Your Workforce for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
