In June 2025, iCentra hosted the Business Masterclass Series, a three-part virtual experience designed to equip professionals with practical skills in Digital Transformation, Project Management, and Business Agility. The series brought together professionals from across Africa, Europe, and North America, including leaders in the public sector, technology, consulting, development, and business.
Why This Series Mattered
The Masterclass Series was not just another set of webinars. It was built on a foundation of practical insights and delivered by experienced professionals who are actively involved in leading transformation projects across sectors. The format was designed for flexibility and relevance, with sessions held weekly and participants choosing to attend one, two, or all three based on their professional focus.
