The Songhai Group, a corporate development company, has signed a three-year deal with uniBank Ghana Ltd, a leading Ghanaian bank, to roll out a company-wide business execution programme dubbed THE Practice School @ uniBank.
Songhai will partner with uniBank to help implement resulting initiatives aimed at developing top performing leaders in banking and finance.
Songhai will run a quarterly programme under its Practice School platform (THE) called The Practice School at uniBank guided by the bank’s own strategic priorities and customize content to further improve business execution across all of uniBank.
In describing the partnership, Vincent Kwapong, a Songhai Managing Partner and MIT-educated Business Simplification expert, stated: “This is the best validation of what our Corporate Practice School is all about. uniBank put about 10 employees through our MBX immersion programmes and most of them ended up being given higher responsibilities months after the programme. We are happy to partner with this uniquely Ghanaian bank to create transformational leaders for its next growth phase.”
According to Ekow Nyarko Dadzie-Dennis, Executive Director at uniBank, “As the bank continues to build on its enterprising leadership in the financial sector, developing an executive calibre middle management team becomes even more critical. Team members need to be equipped with decisive critical thinking capabilities that are geared towards meeting the business needs of our clients.”
As part of the agreement, all uniBank employees going through THE Practice School @ uniBank will have access to executive coaching from Songhai partners and be able to take advantage of The Practice School’s proprietary platform, www.mbax.com.
Songhai is a corporate development company founded by MIT-educated business leaders with combined 40+yrs experience in business execution from Fortune 50 companies. Its focus is on delivering management excellence to companies in Africa and helping them build business platforms with potential to dominate their respective industries and compete in international markets.
On the other hand, uniBank (Ghana) Limited is a wholly owned Ghanaian bank authorized to undertake a broad range of banking Services. The Bank opened its door to customers in January 2001.
uniBank’s vision is to be the leading and preferred Bank offering comprehensive financial solutions to its chosen customers (SME and Personal Banking markets) in a professional, caring, responsive and profitable way.
