Ben Bridges Consultants Understand Human Learning and Customize Programs
The rapidly changing nature, and intricacies in instructional delivery systems of contemporary education and training calls for expertise as well as the need to eliminate guesswork.
In upskilling the workers and the leadership there is additional benefit in engaging external consultants to help provide insight and guidance on how to increase productivity at the shortest possible time and sustain the mindset for lifelong learning. Digitalization is the pivot of education and training and the future of work.
This has been more relevant in the post-COVID-19 era. Ben Bridges consultants have provided customized upskilling programs using different instructional delivery to workers and leadership namely online, blended, simulations, and face-to-face.
We used standalone learning objects (LOs) to address different conceptual issues funded by different agencies in health (Hewlett- Packard (HP)), climate change (Open Society Foundation), TVET concepts (Tertiary Education Trust Fund). We have also facilitated the train-the-trainer program for academics at the University of Nigeria on online instructional delivery and trained the trainers in companies (G. W. Lisk Inc.).
We are in Business to Improve your Business.
Business organizations are like living organisms that are prone to varied changes associated with growth and aging. These changes require maintaining a growth mindset, evaluating routine practices, and promoting healthy communication between workers and leadership. Ben Bridges provide services on how to manage these changes and emphasize the importance of effective organizational culture.
We facilitate training programs on diversity, interracial relationships, optimal utilization of soft skills, emotional intelligence in the workplace and change management including the use of newer technology.
These programs were jointly developed after conducting a needs analysis of the nature of the challenge and the baseline data is used to develop the customized programs.
We have proven records in clarity and strategic planning for organizations that can promote management by objectives. For example, we consulted for Edge Web Services’ (EWS), a startup IT Company, to develop its strategic plans that included organizational structure, revenue streams, corporate /community relationship, and international initiatives. Our consultants facilitated the establishment of Business Development Centers (BDCs) for Africa Development Bank (AfDB) in 11 Technical Vocational Education & Training (TVET) institutions in Nigeria.
We can sustain your Productivity Irrespective of Technology/Process Changes
The need for change in the production process and technology is imperative in sustaining the manufacturing process. We will understudy your production process to recommend suited technology, software application, and production technique.
Based on the occupational and professional experiences of Ben Bridges consultants, we would shepherd new technology and techniques that can enhance productivity as well as sustain organizational growth. We do occupational and task analysis to improve the clarity of the production process and application of the correct knowledge/skillset.

There is a lot of socio-political engineering involved in public policy formulation, development, and implementation.
Ben Bridges consultants have been involved individually and severally in writing policy working paper, policy draft, facilitating critic workshop, and major stakeholders’ meetings.
For example, the consultants had recently written a policy paper for the International Labour Organization (ILO) on the country study on the “Potential for Skills Partnerships on Migration in Nigeria. Also, we consulted for the Nigerian government and Africa Development Bank (AfDB) in developing the National Policy on Product Innovation and Commercialization.
The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has put countries and international development agencies in a frenzy towards meeting the goals by 2030.
These governmental and international development agencies fund most of these projects through the grant-making processes, namely call for proposal, expression of interest, project monitoring, and evaluation.
Thus, organizations that wish to participate in these processes would need grant writing skills for accessing the development funds. Ben Bridges consultants have written, won, and managed millions of dollar grants for different international development agencies including the World Bank, UNESCO, AfDB, and OSF.
We worked on monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) of projects funded by international development agencies. The consultants facilitated a grant writing workshop at the University of Technology, Jamaica.
