What CrossTie Solutions does

CrossTie Solutions Ltd. is a Lagos, Nigeria-based people development and management consulting firm founded in July 2013 by Adebayo Adegun. The company serves corporate organizations primarily in Nigeria with secondary international operations in three African countries, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Its training portfolio includes the Open Executive Programmes (OEP), Executive Leadership Programmes (ELP), Complete Employee Series (CES), Sales Excellence Series (SES), Crosstie Team Bonding (CTB), and the free Crosstie EDGE graduate accelerator. The consulting practice covers culture assessment and transformation, strategy development and execution, business process documentation and improvement, and corporate performance management.

The company's core technology is human-delivered professional services built on a proprietary Six-Dimension Culture Framework used to assess organizational culture and guide transformation initiatives. Delivery formats include virtual sessions, classroom training, self-paced on-demand learning via Crosstie Up, one-on-one executive coaching, and bespoke organizational engagements. Accreditations from CIBN, IFTDO, and CIMC underpin credibility in the banking and finance vertical.

CrossTie operates a professional services revenue model: corporate training engagements and consulting contracts are priced by quote on a multi-year contract basis, while the graduate-focused Crosstie EDGE program is offered free of charge as a talent pipeline. The go-to-market is primarily direct B2B sales supplemented by channel partnerships with training firms, content marketing through the company website and newsletter, and lead-generation via free webinars and leadership conferences. Customer mix spans corporate organizations across more than 12 industries, SMB and mid-market firms requiring flexible consulting, and individual graduates participating in the EDGE program. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds.
