Digital Innovation Programme to Foster Intrapreneurship in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi: A strategic programme aimed at helping leaders in modern business remain relevant and forward-thinking is being organised by The Executive Minds (TEXEM) in Abu Dhabi. With the theme “Digital Innovation: Stimulating a Culture of Intrapreneurship in a Digital Age,” the programme will focus on sustainable solutions and extensive departmental expertise.

According to News Agency of Nigeria, Dr. Alim Abubakre, a senior executive at TEXEM, stated that the initiative will cover all aspects of operations, from customer engagement to internal processes. Scheduled for 19th to 22nd May 2025 in Abu Dhabi, the programme offers leaders a high-level framework to shape organisational mindsets, capabilities, and structures. Dr. Abubakre emphasized that this TEXEM UK programme goes beyond merely upgrading a company’s technology or refining leadership roles; it aims to equip decision-makers to drive comprehensive transformation.

Dr. Abubakre highlighted Amazon as an example of how a strategically aligned, intrapreneurial culture can lead to significant growth and diversification. Initially perceived as just an online bookstore, Amazon’s leadership used market insights to branch into various sectors, from cloud services to smart home devices. This expansion was intentional and guided by the belief that every employee could contribute innovative ideas.

The programme will address core obstacles that hinder leaders from tapping into the thriving digital marketplace. These challenges include the rapid pace of technological change and limited cross-functional collaboration, which stifles intrapreneurial thinking. Interactive sessions in Abu Dhabi, led by experts like Dr. T. B. (Mac) McClelland, Jr., Professor Rodria Laline, and Professor John Peters, will utilize TEXEM’s proven methodology. Participants will gain actionable insights through case studies, discussions, role play, and group work.

Dr. Abubakre added that the sessions will equip leaders with the skills to create collaborative networks and transform data-driven insights into strategic actions. Attendees will learn practical techniques for converting analytical findings into moves that drive revenue growth and enhance operational efficiency.

Past delegates have praised the programme for its depth and impact. Niyi Toluwalope, CEO of eTranzact Group, noted the programme’s engaging nature and the profound insights it offered from exceptional facilitators. By enrolling, participants can better prepare themselves and their organisations for the challenges of a volatile market.

The programme, priced at £5,500, offers discounts for early payment. Executives interested in participating can register by contacting TEXEM or emailing [email protected]. As Nigeria’s economy becomes increasingly connected and complex, now is the time for leaders to develop strategic capabilities to exploit digital opportunities and mitigate risks.
