Teaching and speaking
Taught from what was built here, not what was built elsewhere.
A guest lecture on how African businesses are actually built, taught from the five step framework and the case catalogue rather than from imported examples.
Currently teaching
Strathmore Business School
MBA for Executives
The lecture runs on the five step framework, with 7 written cases behind it. Leonard Mudachi is host & curator of the show and an operator rather than an academic, which is the reason the sessions land the way they do.
What can be taught
The five step framework
See the void, assemble resources, choose a position, build the flywheel, sequence the fork. The full model, taught with 7 cases tagged to the step each one teaches.
Category creation under constraint
What it takes to build a category that does not exist yet, in a market with expensive capital and uneven infrastructure. Drawn from founders who did it.
The operator to investor transition
What changes when the person who built the business starts backing other people's. Where it goes wrong, and what the good ones do differently.
