My experience
Africa Leadership University School ofBusiness Intensive experience was a pivotal experience I’d love to
relive over and over. Thankful I will. I was astounded by the level ofthoughtprocess putinto the program to
make the Intensive a life changing experience for participants from the composition ofthe Pan-African
Group, to the mix of Home Learning Team it was all a seamless flow targeted to engage and educate the
nextgeneration of African leaders. These groups, teams and breakoutsessions were instrumental towards
encouraging the bonding process thatmakes for successful peer learning. Itconsolidated as much as
obliterated previously held concepts aboutleadership, business and Africa in general.
With 68 participants from 25 countries, a total of 850years of cumulative experience, one can only imagine
the fusions and fallouts from such mixture. I felt really at home with everyone and I’ve come to respectthe
crop ofyoung Africa professionals presentatthe event. For me it was like attending a ‘Davos’ ofideas
without the political undertone. The choice ofspeakers and facilitators was such that prior held opinions
were either thrashed or re-enforced depending on where you stand. The program was designed to pack as
much value in one week. Itleft us all asking for more.
I was particular struck by the level ofenergy and involvementwith all the activities. Whisked away by the
motivating rendition of Isabel Kumwembe, one ofthe participants at ALU MBA, sharing her entry
submission atthe opening gala. The fun, learning and camaraderie at the Frontiers Rwanda outing. And
the rooftop rendezvous where ‘Founders’ could lettheir hair down in the midstof it all.
I can hardly wait for the next intensive.
