What participants say

Testimonials

The way the content was presented — using real examples from our work — made a very complicated subject feel completely manageable. I left knowing exactly what to do next.

AN
Amara N.
Programme Officer · NGO

This was the most practical training I've attended in years. I could apply what I learned the same afternoon. The data dashboard we built together is now part of our weekly review.

Blessing M.
Business Owner · SME

Cynthia has a rare ability to meet you where you are. She didn't assume we knew anything — and she didn't talk down to us either. Our whole team came away more confident.

ZK
Zanele K.
Head of Operations · Corporate

The spreadsheet cleanup was done in less than 24 hours. What would have taken me days of back-and-forth was returned clean, structured, and with a clear note explaining every fix.

Rudo M.
Founder · E-commerce SME

We finally understand what our data is telling us. The DMMA assessment opened our eyes to gaps we didn't know we had, and the roadmap gave us something concrete to work with immediately.

Data Lead · INGO

I went from dreading our monthly reports to actually looking forward to them. The automation runs itself. I just open it and the numbers are already there.

Questions

Frequently asked

How many people can attend a session?
Workshops work best with groups of 10–30 participants. Smaller teams are welcome — smaller groups often allow for deeper, more contextual work. Larger organisations can be accommodated with a multi-session approach.
Do I need a technical background to attend?
No. All training is designed for non-technical audiences — managers, programme officers, business owners, and team leads. The focus is on understanding and using data, not on building technical systems.
Can sessions be customised for my organisation's context?
Yes — and this is encouraged. The most impactful sessions use your organisation's own data, processes, and real challenges as the working material. During the discovery call, we discuss your specific context and tailor the content accordingly.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Most sessions are available both virtually and in-person. Virtual sessions are fully interactive and designed to keep participants engaged. In-person sessions are available across Sub-Saharan Africa.
What's the difference between a workshop and the WIDB programme?
The workshops listed here are available for any organisation or team. The WIDB (Women in Digital Business) programme is a structured cohort-based programme specifically for women entrepreneurs in Africa, backed by the ILO, ITC, and Microsoft, and awards an internationally recognised certificate.
How quickly will I get a response after enquiring?
Within 2 business days. For urgent requests, you're welcome to reach out directly via LinkedIn or email.
