Closing the skills gap

We have a deep belief in human potential and we are passionate about helping our clients achieve more with their people. Bridging the skills gap in Africa is a critical challenge that must be overcome if the region is to flourish. IDM is an institution that is dedicated to this goal. Our experience covers multiple industries and disciplines and now extends to 13 countries across Africa, including all its major markets.

About us

IDM helps organisations adapt and thrive in diverse and rapidly changing markets. From diagnosis to design and delivery, we create impactful solutions that provide tangible outcomes, both for the individual and the organisation.

Our blend of services puts our clients in control and ensures that employees have the skills and capabilities that they need when they need them.

Our team

Our approach is to partner with leaders, individuals and teams to help them make the behavioural shifts that drive business performance. Our pool of experts allows us to meet all the needs of our clients.

Our difference

Simple, fast, reliable re-skilling and up-skilling for a diverse, modern workplace.

If your people are key to how your business performs, then being confident you’re unlocking their full potential should be a top priority.

All businesses want to perform and succeed, but it’s not always easy. Up-skilling and re-skilling is a key part of sustaining performance, but getting that right can be a challenge. Business leaders - from corporates down to SMMEs - want to know that training and development efforts are taking their people’s skills and abilities to the next level.

IDM gives our clients that confidence - that their people are on the right learning path, a path that efficiently builds the right skills in the right people, accelerating skills acquisition and reducing the time-2-performance.

Partnering, flexibility and choice

We partner with you to shape solutions that are tailored to your specific needs and budget requirements. Whether it’s speed in deploying a ready-to-go course or programme, or a turn-key L&D or talent management service, we work with you to co-design a solution that fits.

Impact

We use bespoke metrics, based on extensive experience and research, to track and assure ROI on L&D and capability spend. We combine digital diagnostics with blended learning and carefully curated sets of nudges and micro-learnings in the workflow, to accelerate the speed of employee skills acquisition.

Quality and assurance

IDM is SETA and City & Guilds accredited. We offer a wide range of programs that are recognised both within South Africa and across the region.

We have worked throughout the African continent. Here are some examples of our experience.
