Thursday, 13th August 2025 — CHRM College is proud to announce the beginning of a new chapter in leadership development following a high-level partnership meeting with Bishop Emeritus Rev. Dr. David Oginde, Founder and Lead Consultant at Catalead Associates Ltd, and his team. The meeting, held at the CHRM College Boardroom, brought together senior leaders from both organisations to discuss strategic collaboration in leadership training, organisational consultancy, research, and joint events.
“Leadership is the engine that drives every successful organisation. By partnering with CHRM College, we are not only expanding our reach but also ensuring that leaders across sectors are equipped with the skills, ethics, and vision needed to thrive in today’s fast-changing world,” said Rev. Dr. Oginde.
Building on Shared Values and Vision
Rev. Dr. Oginde is a highly respected thought leader, mentor, and organisational strategist whose work has impacted institutions across multiple sectors. His proven leadership modules — grounded in values-based, transformative training — have empowered countless individuals and organisations to achieve excellence and integrity in leadership.
CHRM College’s delegation was led by CHRP Odhiambo Ooko, FIHRM, Board Chair, and included Edna Kiptoon, Vice Chair of the Board, CHRP Rev. Canon Stephine Obong’o, Chair of the Alumni Association, and CHRP Margaret K. Kinyanjui, Principal of CHRM College. Together with the Catalead team, they explored how this partnership could create far-reaching benefits for students, alumni, and the HR and business community at large.
“This collaboration aligns perfectly with CHRM’s mission to nurture competent and ethical leaders who can shape the future of work in Kenya and beyond. Integrating Catalead’s leadership content into our curriculum will give our learners a distinct edge in the marketplace,” noted CHRP Odhiambo Ooko
One of the central outcomes was the shared commitment to embed Catalead’s leadership modules into CHRM’s academic and executive training programs. This will ensure that learners and alumni benefit from practical, values-driven leadership training that can be applied immediately in professional settings.
Looking Ahead
The two organisations agreed to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise the partnership, create a delivery framework for the leadership programs, and roll out targeted training sessions and webinars for the CHRM community.
With this alliance, CHRM College and Catalead Associates are poised to cultivate the next generation of leaders — individuals who will lead with competence, courage, and character.
