Participants in CEOs Without Borders enjoy an exiting and
profitable experience and get to help create jobs and wealth
in struggling countries. CWB enables participants to:
-
Discover new opportunities:
Some
Sub-Saharan
African countries offer great business opportunities often
overlooked by investors who want to expand their business abroad. Our programs allow participants to
learn about these markets and get in contact with relevant
local business people and institutions.
-
Learn:
Many markets in the developed world are
becoming increasingly saturated with excess supply and suspended
demand ing prices and profit margins down.
Companies in United States and Europe
can learn a lot by operating in a resource-scarce environment
and learning optimization strategies from developing countries
to help them cut costs and succeed at home.
-
Improve image & reputation:
Participating in innovative and original
projects that help the world's poorest improves your and
your company’s image and builds reputation among your
collaborators and employees in both local and foreign markets.
Participants will receive financial information as well as
documentary and audio-visual material from the projects they
support so that they can share their experiences with their
employees, shareholders and clients.
Those companies that encourage their top-executives (as
individuals or in groups) to participate in cooperation also
can
benefit from:
-
Improved internal dynamics:
Interaction between employees in different departments and
levels of hierarchy beyond the working environment improves
corporate morale and cooperation.
-
Training and testing employees’ management abilities:
Management abilities required to higher
ranks cannot be easily provided through theoretical study;
they are developed with practice. By participating in our
programs, future managers can practice and develop their
abilities, and companies can observe the results.
-
Investing in groups:
Usually, in order to maximize the return
on investment, companies with limited resources choose to
invest in individuals: Future managers are appointed and
afterwards receive training in order to acquire managerial
skills. On the other hand, investing in groups (appointing
managers from a trained group of employees) is more
advantageous for numerous reasons. The employer has more
information about employees’ skills; it stimulates competition
among employees; having more than the strictly necessary
number of prepared employees diminishes probability of a
shortage of managerial resources when (unexpectedly) needed.
Our programs are economic training tools that allow companies
with limited resources to invest in groups without bearing the
high costs usually associated with such investment.
