Workshop for NGOs and Corporate Organisations

Sustainability Workshop for NGOs and
Corporate Organisations
Overview Leading companies know that: "Business as usual" has changed.

Investors, media and customers want companies to address social and environmental concerns.

Leading companies in the private sector recognize that they should develop strategies to meet these needs while remaining profitable. At the same time, many of the most effective non- governmental organizations (NGOs) recognize that they can achieve widespread and lasting change by harnessing the power of the market.

To achieve these goals, companies
and NGOs are finding ways to work together.

This emerging shift in NGOs/private
corporations relationship creates an exciting new landscape of opportunities for both NGOs and the private sector to collaborate, increase capacity, sustainability and deliver service to the community.

Yet such partnerships must
not be entered into lightly. The choice of
partner (the "who"), the articulated objectives (the "why") and the mode of operations (the "how") are decisive factors in the success of any partnership.

Also, key is that after successfully indentifying corporate bodies whose objectives are in sync with theirs, NGOs will need to be equipped with the necessary tools that will make these companies want to forge partnerships them...

LBS adopts GMAT as Full-time MBA Entrance Examination

The Lagos Business School has officially adopted GMAT as the only form of written assessment pre-qualifying applicants for its full-time  MBA programme. This development, driven by the school's efforts to boost the local and international competitiveness of its students, is a departure from the earlier model giving candidates the option to either write GMAT or the LBS entrance examination.

The official GMAT examination, accepted by over 6,000 schools globally, measures candidates' analytical skills and determines their preparedness for the business school classroom.

"Candidates who take the official GMAT have a very high tendency to perform exceptionally well in class and eventually graduate to become highly sought after professionals" said MBA Director, Dr. Uchenna Uzo.

'The GMAT examination will help us identify candidates with the potential we need to achieve this.'

According to the Marketing Manager of the programme, Segun Abodunrin, the GMAT examination remains the best parameter for vetting MBA candidates in business schools across the world

"It ties in with our aim to prepare managers with our aim to prepare managers with the right skills to thrive and succeed in an emerging continent like Africa" he explained.

Recently, LBS restructured its Full-time MBA programme, stipulating that candidates have a minimum of three years' post qualification work experience as against one. The duration of the programme was also reduced from 21 to 18 months and offers students international exchange programme opportunities.
