What is the Course About?
Business Growth Accelerator Program.
The Business Growth Accelerator Program (BGAP) is an intensive, executive education course designed for senior managers, c-suite executives, and business owners, tailor-made to focus mainly on Uganda-Kenyan (i.e. regional) businesses.
The BGAP was developed in collaboration between AVODA Group (Uganda) & Strathmore University Business School (Kenya) to identify and harness practical, regional strategies for Cost Optimisation and Revenue Maximization.
Modules
Cost Optimization Strategies
Cost reduction is about making more out of less. By cutting some of its most significant sources of waste and overspending, a company can increase its earnings—even without increasing sales.
Themes covered include:
- Understanding the WTP (Willingness-To-Pay) Curve
- Harnessing Internal measures for cost reduction
- Capitalizing on External measures for cost reduction
- Saving costs through innovative leadership

Themes covered include:
- Designing an Innovative Business Growth Strategy in East Africa
