Africa's Leading Professional Productivity Membership & Certification Organisation. Advancing Productivity. Developing Professionals. Connecting Africa. Transforming Organisations.
Welcome to the Centre for Public Service Productivity & Development (CeProd) — a professional institution dedicated to advancing the practice, knowledge and application of productivity across Africa.
CeProd brings together productivity professionals, business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, academics, public-sector executives and organisations committed to achieving higher standards of performance, efficiency, innovation and sustainable growth.
We exist to answer one fundamental question:
Our answer is through professional development, certification, knowledge, research, practical productivity solutions, organisational transformation and a strong continental professional network.
Established as a legal entity in Nigeria on 11 December 2008 and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), CeProd has developed into a professional platform focused on building the people, institutions and organisations required to drive a more productive Africa.
CeProd is evolving beyond the traditional training-centre model.
We are building a continental professional ecosystem for productivity.
Our role is to develop the professionals who understand productivity, provide the knowledge and tools required to improve performance, recognise professionals through certification and membership, and connect productivity practitioners and organisations across Africa.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Our direction is built around professional excellence, productivity and sustainable prosperity.
To become a globally respected professional institution for productivity knowledge, certification, organisational performance and advancing sustainable prosperity.
envision a world where productivity excellence is embedded in people, organisations and societies as a professional discipline and a driving force for sustainable growth, innovation and prosperity.
To advance productivity knowledge, develop competent productivity professionals, strengthen organisations and build a continental network of practitioners committed to measurable performance and sustainable prosperity.
Africa possesses enormous human, natural and entrepreneurial resources. Yet the continent continues to face challenges of low productivity, underutilised resources, weak organisational performance, skills gaps, inefficient processes and limited value creation.
In many organisations, the problem is not simply a shortage of resources. The problem is often how effectively available resources are converted into results.
Productivity provides the bridge between resources and results.
For Africa to achieve sustainable economic growth, improve living standards and become more competitive globally, productivity must become a central part of organisational and national development.
This is the challenge CeProd is committed to addressing.
Our work develops professionals, strengthens organisations, generates knowledge and builds a continental productivity network.
CeProd provides a professional pathway for individuals who want to develop expertise in productivity, organisational performance and continuous improvement.
Through our professional development and certification pathways, professionals can develop the knowledge and practical capabilities required to identify inefficiencies, improve performance and drive measurable results.
We also offer the Certified Productivity Professional (CPP) pathway designed to strengthen professional knowledge in productivity and organisational performance.
Professional certification provides a framework for recognising individuals who have acquired knowledge and understanding of productivity principles and their application.
The CeProd professional pathway covers important areas including:
Our objective is to create a growing community of professionals who can understand, measure, manage and improve productivity.
Productivity ultimately has to produce results.
CeProd therefore works with organisations to strengthen:
