Not more training; real executive capability that shows up in real work.
BMI is building a faculty bench of practice-led experts who can help leaders close the gap between learning and execution. If you bring domain depth, African-context relevance, and a commitment to measurable capability — we want to hear from you.

“BMI is intentionally designed as a platform, not a closed catalogue.”
Open to practice-led faculty who can build measurable executive capability
Three ways to engage with BMI.
Whether you want to contribute a single session, lead an entire programme track, or shape BMI's direction at a strategic level — there's a mode that fits.
Session Faculty
Contribute focused expertise through single sessions or short-format delivery within a BMI programme.
Track Faculty
Lead or co-lead a programme track across a full cohort cycle, from content to capstone assessment.
Advisory Faculty
Shape curriculum design, quality standards, and strategic direction through ongoing advisory engagement.
The BMI delivery model and learning experience.
Self-Paced Learning
Recorded executive briefings and structured assignments you complete on your own schedule.
Live Virtual Cohorts
Faculty-led live sessions with peer interaction, applied cases, and real-time feedback.
Physical Executive Cohorts
Intensive in-person programmes for senior leaders requiring immersive, high-touch delivery.
Every BMI programme follows the 6D Capability Conversion Model™ — a structured pathway that moves leaders from Diagnose and Decode to Design, Decide, Deliver, and Demonstrate.
Everything you need to know before you apply.
From domains and delivery to assessment and compensation — the full picture for prospective faculty.
Expression of Interest →Yes. BMI is intentionally designed as a platform, not a closed catalogue. If you have a distinctive, practice-led programme that can build measurable executive capability, BMI welcomes you to propose it and deliver it under BMI’s standards, quality review, and governance discipline.
- Executive masterclasses and clinics (single session or 2\u20133 sessions) focused on a defined leadership problem and a practical tool
- Applied executive labs (case-led, output-driven) where participants build a decision memo, risk register, roadmap, or portfolio artefact
- Board and Exco briefings including simulations and scenario-based oversight exercises
- Corporate cohorts tailored to one organisation's priorities, including diagnostics, applied case work, and capstone evidence
- Futures briefings and scenario sessions that help leaders stress-test assumptions and build strategic options for long-horizon risk
All faculty-proposed programmes go through a light design review and QA process. We check alignment to BMI domains, clarity of outcomes, 6D linkage and outputs, African context relevance, assessment/portfolio evidence, and delivery readiness (recorded lesson quality and live session design where applicable).
BMI programmes can be delivered through three pathways: self-paced learning (recorded executive briefings + structured assignments), live virtual cohorts, and physical executive cohorts.
Most faculty contributions combine: a short recorded executive briefing, one live virtual cohort session (typically 60 minutes), and applied case prompts and output review where applicable. BMI provides templates and programme coordination support to reduce admin load and protect quality.
BMI is built as an executive capability sprint, not a lecture series. Participants work on a real organisational challenge, apply practical tools and African-relevant cases, learn through peer critique and faculty guidance, and build evidence of capability through workplace outputs and a final portfolio.
Every BMI programme follows the 6D Capability Conversion Model™; a structured pathway that moves leaders from Diagnose and Decode to Design, Decide, Deliver, and Demonstrate. The goal is to turn insight into decisions, decisions into execution, and execution into proof.
Participants leave with a capability portfolio they can use and defend at work; decision memos, risk registers, governance routines, adoption roadmaps, and 30/60/90-day action plans.
BMI certification is capability-based, not attendance-based. Participants must complete required outputs and meet assessment thresholds set for each programme.
Every BMI certification ends with a structured capstone defence and portfolio evidence of capability.
Live sessions should not be passive lectures. They should include executive framing, applied cases, tool demonstration, participant practice, and focused feedback.
Recorded lessons should feel like concise executive briefings, built around a hook, concept, African scenario, practical framework, application prompt, and a closing task linked to a 6D output.
BMI reviews live plans, decks, case studies, activities, and recorded lessons before delivery or publication. Materials are revised or re-recorded if they fail quality standards.
BMI permits responsible AI use but requires judgement and disclosure. Participants must not submit unreviewed AI output as final judgement.
BMI is developing a Futures Intelligence stream that will mature into an Africa Futures Lab. Faculty may contribute through foresight briefs, scenario work, research-led clinics, and convenings that translate insight into decision-ready intelligence.
Faculty can engage as Session Faculty, Track Faculty, or Advisory Faculty, depending on fit, availability, and programme needs.
Compensation is structured by engagement mode, cohort size, and assessment load (session honorarium, cohort fee, capstone review fee where applicable; advisory retainer options).
BMI reviews fit by domain and delivery standards, then schedules a short alignment call to confirm engagement mode, scope, delivery pathway, timelines, and compensation terms in writing.
