Hi All!
Recently I have been involved in various activities of establishing an academy for East Africa or Tanzania. Due to idea that there are efforts to form East African Community, then there is a need to catch the whole East Africa idea. I am bit confused on the name. We thought to establish Information Systems academy or E-learning Academy. But after much debates, we thought either e-learning is part of information systems, hence we need to establish Information systems academy, but we still confused. The aim of the academy is to provide innovative research, consultancy and learning in a technology enriched environment. We have failed to come up with name and slogan, we need your help. Initially we have the following names below, for which we need your comments and help- to refine and suggest one name either from the list or form a new name completely- we will much appreciate. YOU CAN COMPLETELY COME WITH YOUR INNOVATIVE NAME AND SLOGAN!

Initial names:
- Academy of Information systems East Africa
- Academy of e-learning East Africa
- Tanzania Information Systems Academy
- Tanzania e-learning Academy

Please help us to recommend a name and slogan! be free to form your own name and slogan- we will absolutely award you in a Long run, such as inviting you you in our conferences to come . PLease help urgently

ALso can you comment which between information systems and e-learning can we use ! all is yours to try your all creative imaginations

    If the choice is limited to E-LEARNING and INFORMATION SYSTEMS, my vote would be for E-LEARNING because it is more specific to your mission. Information systems would encompass much more than e-learning, and specific names and positioning platforms are almost always more effective than general ones.

    What you might want to do is think about the end benefit of your primary target audience and speak to that benefit in the name. Who is your primary target audience? For whom are you naming the organization? What is the objective? How will you know if the organization is successful?

    Thanks, for letting the ball start rolling out! normally the choice could be more than e-learning and information systems. Without to use Information Technology or ICT, but we thought is better to target the forgotten academic field which is INFORMATION SYSTEMS yet is very important area too. You can suggest an terms so long you give us reason of why use E-learning, or INformation systems, or Information Systems or else. But OUr idea was either to use information systems or e-learning, but you can go more than these names and recommend to us so long you defent it

    The objective:
    1. To promote and increase the current level of Technology networking skills and capacity within the organization in East Africa
    2. To provide training and learning to students, public and the community
    3. To Linking students, people with industry and government to promote student-training excellence in line with their needs, including research projects

    The Vision: To provide quality, dynamic and progressive integrated research, consultancy and integrated training to meet the market standards in the ICT Sector

    I think this helps, now can you suggest the names please and slogan- please help out now!

    Is this a for-profit venture or a not-for-profit? Who are the shareholders and what do they want out of this?
  • Posted by tmtossy on 10/3/2009 at 8:27 PM Author
    This is a nont-for-profit , the shareholders are the Information Systems researchers ranging from e-learning, e-health, etc. What they want is to create an academy with the following objectives:
    1. To promote and increase the current level of Technology networking skills and capacity within the organization in East Africa
    2. To provide training and learning to students, public and the community
    3. To Linking students, people with industry and government to promote student-training excellence in line with their needs, including research projects

    (Aside: E-Learning better describes what you're proposing to do short-term. However, technology changes quickly and I have some concern that your name will be quickly outdated, whether you choose e-learning or information systems. Your goal is to improve skills, and your technique is e-learning.)

    Jay thanks

    Therefore you are saying is better to choose e-learning than information systems - remember that the founders are all speciacilities from e-learning, e-healthcare, etc. Can you say something- or why can we not use information systems which is more broader and includes all areas? Please help !!!! ANy more idea

    Titus - it doesn't matter what the founders are specialists in. It matters who you're trying to get as clients. From your brief description, it sounded that e-learning is a better fit, since information systems implies learning how to better use computer hardware/software, rather than using computers to help teach information in a variety of disciplines.

    Jay this is powerful! now let finish the deal by discussing on which one among the two East AFrica E-learning Academy or E-learning Academy of Tanzania. Our target was to insure we operate in East Africa, because also I am doing my great commissioned research covering East AFrica. I dont know if you have any idea on this! Also let see if we can come up with
    1. Slogan
    2. positioning statement

    Jay you seem to be so experienced on this, please keep helping

    Others bring up some ideas too!

    HI again;
    Jay and all, when I was trying to chat with other founders it came to our attention that the idea you raised is true, but our clients here will have almost different perception- for example if they hear e-learning the quick comes to them is that is all about learning and training using technology, while for us we would like to be beyond that- deploying ways to make technology work and serve people through either researches, consultancy, training, events etc. And seems Information systems is also a forgotten discipline in east africa, we would like to bring it into life. Hence, it will be better if we can avoid world e-learning and put more general word - say Information systems. Can somebody say something and help us- we really getting more confused!!!! Please help

    Waiting your help

    No sleep at all! here is about 12.15am, but till waiting your responses. I have been discussing with founders for the past 4 hours about the name. We have decided the following, for which we want to help:

    1. To go with Information Systems (IS)
    2. To position ourself for TANZANIA

    we thought the name could be any along those line of 1 and 2 above- very eye catching name- with slogan- we dont know which name? we thought:
    - Tanzania academy for Information systems
    - Academy of Information systems of Tanzania
    - National Information systems academy
    - Tanzania Information Systems Academy
    - The National Academy for Information Systems

    We are completely confused- your help is highly needed for this matter- please come up with suggestions. YOu will be highly rewarded in a long run

    We are waiting for your urgent help!!
