Bhavya Rama
Ex Executive : IBM EEIP Programme
IBM through the EEIP sourced the services of YIEDI early in 2019 to deliver on an SMME development programme. To date the working experience with YIEDI has been professional, of high quality, within expectations and timelines and overall highly pleasant.
The team was able to interpret our requirements quickly, analyse them, understand our business and deliver the quality we required/expected.
We have experienced no issues or concerns, in fact commend YIEDI on being so patient with us. We would highly recommend YIEDI for their services.
Mohlolo Selala
Ex Executive Socio-economic Development – Kagiso Trust
YIEDI was able to create a customised programme for us in line with our strategic priorities and business growth objectives. The team is extremely well connected and professional and their programmes are uniquely designed to create maximum value for the entrepreneur and the sponsoring company.
We were very impressed with the value that entrepreneurs receive and how they managed to use the skills acquired to pivot their businesses during COVID 19. They were also able to seamlessly switch over to online delivery when the lockdown restrictions prevented face to face sessions.
We would highly recommend their services and we will continue to work with them on the delivery of our programmes.
Basha Pillay
Ex Executive : Dimension Data
YIEDI has a natural talent for bringing the right people together. They were able to sense major market themes and can practically create structures and ecosystems through which these themes can be explored and leveraged.
Their sense of social development, coupled with their commercial acumen, creates sustainability through visioning and capacity building. Their work incubating start-ups and providing thought leadership to executives has the power to bridge the gap between these two very different communities.
Loshini Govender
Manager Learning and Development : Standard Bank
YIEDI has partnered with Standard Bank on Staff Development Programmes.
YIEDI is professional and goes over and beyond to ensure that the needs of their clients are met.
They are agile and innovative in their offerings. During lockdown they converted their face to face programme to an online programme with 72 lessons and over 50 videos so that we can assist staff with the re-skilling.
