THE MAGNET INSTITUTE
Our Founding Story
The Magnet Institute was founded by BPN's Business Owners Association members with a vision to create a competence centre for providing solutions to the entrepreneurs succession and to managerial training needs in Africa.
As successful business owners, the founding team of The Magnet Institute keenly observed the critical gaps in managerial competencies that directly impacted business development and growth. The lack of ownership and autonomy created a bottleneck in decision-making processes, making it challenging for business owners to invest their valuable time and energy into strategic planning and growth, thereby impeding the overall progress of their enterprises.
Recognizing the profound impact of these gaps on business performance, The Magnet Institute was established to bridge these managerial competency and attitudes gaps and equip managers with the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviours to lead their teams effectively and make informed decisions. As a result, managers become vision-driven and capable of running the business as if it were their own.
Through the programs provided by The Magnet Institute, we aim to cultivate a new breed of service-driven African businesses by raising managers who can address the bottlenecks of growth faced by businesses in Africa.
