Stanbic Uganda Holdings Limited (SUHL) has partnered with Refactory, a training academy offering industry-led skilling services for the technology sector, through its fintech subsidiary, FlyHub.
The five-year partnership aims to equip local business leaders, entrepreneurs, government, and civil society organisations with the necessary skills to navigate the digitization process.
Through a series of Masterclasses, business leaders will undergo tailored training modules to help them understand how they can best steer their teams as they invest in information technology assets. The trainings will help participants evaluate themselves and see where they need to begin and what potential tools they need to go to the next level.
The trainings will be tailored to address the actual needs of the participants, and four targeted Masterclasses shall be organized – one per quarter over the next five years, with each intake targeting at least two dozen business leaders.
The partnership will help demystify digital transformation for businesses by creating a toolkit for institutions and individuals to evaluate themselves. Participants will either take the choice to find suitable solutions for themselves from the market or engage FlyHub and Refractory to build and deploy the desired solutions in their respective organizations.
In addition to designing the masterclasses, FlyHub and Refactory will collaborate in developing toolkits that will be availed to all customers of Stanbic Uganda Holdings to use in the process of examining their respective organization’s digital transformation readiness.
What they said:
FlyHub Chief Executive Joel Muhumuza said, “This partnership will help demystify, through the masterclasses, what digital transformation for businesses means by creating a tool kit to allow institutions, and individuals to evaluate themselves and see where they need to begin, and what potential tools they need to go to the next level.
