I’ve always jumped into new projects and got to know various industries and companies. After my time as an officer in the German army, where I developed technical and leadership skills, I moved to Spain. Together with partners from Italy and Switzerland, I started a Spanish language school for professionals in Madrid. Our customers were already booking us online in the 90s. A diverse program and intense interaction with Spaniards from all walks of life allowed our clients to quickly and deeply dive into modern Spain. The more demanding the clients, the higher the satisfaction. That was our motivation and it became a reality.
After that, I focused on building and optimizing business units and managing international projects. In the solar energy industry in Spain, I set up a customer service department and led it through extraordinary growth during a time of regulatory changes. I was usually the link between finance, controlling, IT, and operations.
At a leading engineering company, I held various leadership roles in industrial service and equipment. This time was marked by transformation and restructuring processes due to takeovers by European and US corporations. In close coordination with the headquarters in Germany, we constantly adapted processes and organization while improving profitability and customer satisfaction.
In Germany, I’m the Spaniard; in Spain, I’m the German. This sharpens my perspective because knowing both business cultures helps me develop sustainable solutions for the success of the headquarters and the local subsidiaries.
As an interim manager and your man on site, I bring all this experience to drive your projects forward. |

The Nedbank IMC 2021 conference paper was developed from the highly successful virtual conference of the same name that attracted more than 1300 delegates across 14 countries. The paper details a practical roadmap for marketers to get back to the basics, to flex their creative muscles and to reimagine their role in business.
‘You don’t need me to tell you that the world we are operating in now is fundamentally different to where we were just 18 months ago. Major changes across industries were implemented virtually overnight and we’ve spent the last few months getting into a new rhythm, a new normal, the next normal,’ so states the paper, adding that ‘Marketers must build back better in the next normal.’
This document is authored by marketing specialist Dr Caitlin Ferreira, a marketing specialist and lecturer in marketing at the Luleå University of Technology, and adjunct lecturer in marketing at the University of Cape Town.
Importantly, the paper invites marketers to view their discipline through the lens of collective introspection, with content grouped around six seminal ‘moments’ that aptly define today’s marketing environment: An opportunity to be better; Have we lost our way?; First and foremost, we are human; Change is the only constant; Being the best version of ourselves and The future of the industry.
CEO of the Nedbank IMC, Dale Hefer, said that while the conference, themed ‘Marketing. The Movie’, was high energy and inspiring, the central tenet remained one of viewing marketing as business. ‘Our conference paper captures this essence, highlighting key messages and actionable takeaways that marketers could adopt to help guide their businesses in a world in flux.’
The paper contains gold nuggets from some of today’s leading global and local marketing stars. Included, among a host of critical actions, are the key learnings from marketing during a pandemic, which is outlined by Marcel Marcondes, US CMO: AB InBev. and a Forbes World’s Most Influential CMO 2020. A ‘creative process’ toolbox to deliver consistent creative brilliance is shared by Susan Credle, who is the Global Chief Creative Officer: FCB. Sydney Mbhele, the Chief Executive Brand at Sanlam and MASA Chairman, suggests the valuable steps to wooing African audiences. Tebogo Motsepe, Head of Brand and Client Insights at Nedbank CIB offers practical steps for marketers to ensure they retain control of the marketing function to deliver a powerful combination of logic and magic.
These are just some of the highlights of the Nedbank IMC 2021 conference paper, which is an accessible and valuable document for marketers to dip into as they navigate the ‘next normal’. |

Diligent & Fortune Director Roundtable Series: A Gen AI Playbook for the Board
In today’s evolving technological landscape, generative AI stands out as both a transformative opportunity and a complex risk for businesses. Leaders have taken note that gen AI is not just hype, and now are grappling with how to implement it. Where does this leave the company’s board of directors? Are members to focus on risk, opportunity, a mixture of both? And how can they navigate implementation if they are not fully educated about the technology itself? As AI adoption accelerates, boards must cut through the noise, ask the right questions, and embrace their role in steering organizations toward responsible and effective use of the technology. Fortune and Diligent hosted a virtual event with an esteemed panel to explore the role of the board in gen AI and gather actionable insights for boards as they navigate gen AI’s challenges and possibilities. The panel was moderated by Jeremy Kahn, AI Editor, Fortune, and Co-chair, Fortune Brainstorm AI; and featured executives Nithya Das, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, Diligent; Omar Khawaja, CISO, Databricks; Florin Rotar, Chief AI Officer, Avanade; and Fiona Tan, Chief Technology Officer, Wayfair.
Das set the stage by sharing research from Diligent, showing that gen AI is sixth on the list of priorities for boards of directors, behind traditional concerns like growth and financials. She noted that gen AI is now ahead of topics like workforce planning and cybersecurity in terms of focus for boards. The AI focus at the board level is not all about innovation and growth. She relayed that boards are carefully considering risks that the technology brings. In particular, “the biggest risk that directors are seeing is the lack of internal capabilities and knowledge among their leadership teams,” she revealed.
Given the risks, it is important for boards to provide direction for companies. However, guidance has not always been very clear. Khawaja said that he has seen leaders take guidance from boards too literally, which has ended in poor implementation. Instead of simply directing companies to create an AI strategy, he encourages boards to think about a company strategy that is informed by the opportunities of gen AI. “I think it’s important for boards to ask [how we will] leverage AI to de-risk, to accelerate, to expand, to scale our strategy,” he said. Rotar agreed, adding that he thinks it is key for companies to figure out how to derive the greatest value from AI. Currently, he sees that companies are focused on productivity gains, rather than leveraging the technology to drive greater business strategy.
For boards to consider how AI can drive business strategy, though, it is critical to understand the technology. Tan advised that boards begin their AI journey by understanding how gen AI is different from the current AI used in their organization, such as predictive machine learning. Das offered that Diligent has an AI Ethics & Board Oversight course available to board members, and Rotar added Stanford’s “The AI Awakening” course may be useful as well.
Tan noted that, once board members have a foundational understanding of the technology, boards can play a pivotal role. At Wayfair, she described that executives and leaders within the organization typically focus on use cases for gen AI, as they know the nuances of the business and where it will be best applied. The board, on the other hand, can help push AI implementation and bring different perspective, she said. “I think for the board, [the focus] is pushing to ensure we are taking the outside-in approach.” she affirmed.
The panelists on the call agreed that leveraging gen AI to revolutionize business strategy is one of the technology’s greatest opportunities. However, it does not come without challenges and risk. The greatest challenge, they said, is people. Rotar, who has been working with AI for many years, said he spends 85% of his time on people-related topics. “The No. 1 success factor for [gen AI implementation] is people.” He emphasized that organizational readiness and trust in the technology is perhaps the primary challenge. He encouraged companies to help employees see how the technology can help them thrive and become the best version of themselves, which in turn fosters trust, increases wide-scale adoption, and ultimately drives value.
In addition to helping businesses adopt AI, boards have a responsibility to help manage risks in AI. A theme that emerged is the necessity of having a responsible AI framework. Tan suggested, for those who don’t currently have a responsible AI plan, that they take what they already have for technologies like predictive machine learning and augment for the specific risks of gen AI. “I think having [a responsible AI] framework is super important, so you ensure that you don’t have a team that goes rogue and does something you don’t know about.” Khawaja added that it is critical to have a responsible AI framework that is actionable, specifically discussing AI risks and how the company will address and manage those risks.
In closing, Das remarked on the great utility of conversations like these. “We all know that [gen AI] is being used in our organizations” she quipped. Fortune panels, she said, give her an opportunity to discuss these crucial topics and leave with learnings. For example, she said, she will be walking away with new ideas on measuring ROI around gen AI, such as using it to assess such functions as work satisfaction, discussed by Tan.

Harvard Business School (USA)
Course:
Leading and Building a Culture of Innovation
I am extremely grateful for my experience with the ILF. After some encouragement from Geoff Vogt I applied for a grant in 2019. The application and interview process was rigorous but very reasonable and everyone involved was friendly and encouraging. I was awarded the grant right before the pandemic started, and as a result I had to postpone my study until the end of 2023. Even though I was not able to study initially, I still found great value in the ILF through events and networking. Everyone in the network is welcoming and has a wealth of experience and knowledge and I am looking forward to continuing my participation in this group for years to come. I believe we all share a passion to make South Australia the best it can be, and somewhere internationally renowned.
After finally making it over to the Harvard Business School I can say the experience of studying there is something I’ll remember for a lifetime. We learned from some of the best teachers in the world – people with incredible international experience and networks – using the case study method which I found to be fair more engaging and rewarding than traditional study. There are many lessons that I’ve taken back home with me to apply both at Teamgage and with our customers. The course provided clarity around what leadership and innovation really is, and how best to foster innovation across an organisation. There is also something magical about removing yourself from the day to day of your usual role and setting aside time to reflect in a new context, with new perspectives and new ways of thinking.
Another huge part of the value of the course was the group of peers in the program. Our group consisted of 65 participants with a broad range of experience across many industries and geographies. Our group still communicates regularly and I value the connections I made with them.
If you are considering applying for a grant with the ILF, I would strongly encourage you to pursue it. There are many different study options available to you that can meet just about any requirement of topic, form and duration, and you will almost certainly find your experience to be transformative. |

Digital innovation strategy: Framework for diagnosing and improving digital product and service innovation
The perils and promises of the digital world. Digital technology has become increasingly important as companies seek to achieve their business goals. However, recent research has highlighted difficulties in evaluating the value generated by digital technology investments. In the 1990s, the first generation of IT applications enabled companies to streamline their internal operations while providing opportunities for process innovation. More recently, digital technology expanded beyond internal dimensions, penetrating companies’ product and service offerings.
The unique properties of digital technology enable new types of innovation processes that are particularly rapid and difficult to control and predict. Therefore, companies need dynamic tools to support them in managing their digital innovation efforts. To this end, the framework identified five key areas to be measured and evaluated in seeking to manage digital product and service innovation:
- Digital products and services must not only be efficient to use and easy to learn, but also provide a rich user experience. Such user experience can be measured on its levels of usability, aesthetics and engagement.
- Companies need to clearly articulate the value proposition of each digital product and service: How do they create value for the users? The quality of such value propositions is assessed on the dynamics of customer segmentation, product and service bundling, and commissions to channel owners.
- Digital evolution scanning involves gathering intelligence on new devices; digital channels such as web services, mobile operating systems, and social media; and app stores – as well as standards and APIs – in order to identify and exploit opportunities for innovation across emerging use contexts and new user behaviours.
- As digital innovation requires new skills, companies need to evaluate their mechanisms for supporting continuous learning of the unique properties of digital technologies in order to set up dynamic innovation teams.
- As digital innovation processes are often ignited when organisational members extemporise with digital technology in a learning-by-doing fashion, assessing the available space and time for improvisation and the mechanisms for co-ordinating such efforts is key.
The process of implementing the framework presented involved making informed decisions that cut across three dimensions:
- the company’s products,
- its digital environment, and
- its organisational properties.

By obtaining composite measures for each area, the framework enables companies to effectively manage their digital product and service portfolio over time. While implementing the framework enables companies to harness an expanded scope of digital innovation benefits, such an effort requires planning and preparation. Sufficient time must be allocated for the process, and because it involves change throughout the organisation, unintended consequences are likely to occur along the way. To support the first step of the implementation process, Nylen and Holmstrom presented a diagnostic tool that allows organisational members to score their current operations. This enables the firm to get started in evaluating and measuring its digital innovation efforts. The outcome of implementing the framework is a readiness for digital innovation whereby companies continuously adjust their operations in order to harness the benefits of digital innovation.
Digital innovation: What’s new?
As information is increasingly digitised and mobile devices accelerate in pervasiveness and processing power, an arena and architecture for innovation are opened up – one in which physical and digital components are combined. The unique properties of digital technology enable new types of innovation processes that are distinctively different from the analogue innovation processes of the Industrial Era.
Can digital innovation be managed?
Digital technology generates highly complex innovation challenges. Therefore, the question arises: How can digital innovation be managed? Or, rather, can it be managed at all?
A rich body of management research has investigated the relationship between technological innovation and radical change. New technologies can profoundly challenge existing markets. However, the competencies of established companies actually stand in the way of innovations. Scholars have elaborated on macro-level strategic models that can enable companies to overcome this dilemma. For example, companies can learn how to deal with radical and incremental innovation simultaneously by building ambidextrous structures and accumulating dynamic capabilities. While these established strategic models for technological innovation management are useful, recent studies use new digital technologies, such as digital cameras, as objects of research. Still, the distinct and unique characteristics of digital technology tend to fade into the background. To this end, extant research on digital technology and organisations suffers from two limitations:
- It tends to not fully open up the black box of technology. When working towards managing digital innovation, this is an important first step to take; companies that seek to innovate their product and service offerings with digital technology need managers well-versed in the specific nature of digital technology.
- Research on technological innovation tends to adopt a macro-level perspective on its object of study, often resulting in high-level descriptions of strategic recommendations. To address this gap, Nylen and Holmstrom turned their attention to the key areas to be addressed when managing digital innovation processes as they unfold in practice.
Digital innovation processes
While digital innovation is a means for new entrants to leverage digital technology in order to challenge incumbent companies – ultimately causing radical industry-level transformation – it also provides opportunities for incumbent companies to enhance and expand their product and service portfolios. However, a key challenge for any business seeking to manage digital innovation entails understanding the unique properties of digital innovation processes.
When engaging in digital innovation, incumbents and new entrants face challenges and opportunities that showcase an exceptional complexity. One key aspect of this complexity is the rapid pace of digital innovation processes. Ultimately, this rapid pace is enabled by the malleability (the ease with which something can be reconfigured) of digital technologies. The rapid pace of digital innovation processes is particularly challenging as companies engage in the design of ‘hybrid’ or ‘smart’ products, via which digital components are embedded in traditional products. An example can be found in the ways in which a major car manufacturer faced complex challenges when embedding GPS systems while separate analogue and digital innovation processes unfolded simultaneously at a radically different pace.
One of the reasons why digital innovation processes are particularly difficult to control and predict is the ‘generativity’ of digital technology. When users leverage digital technologies as components or platforms to create new products and services beyond the original design intent, it can result in cascades of innovation, whereby each innovation provides a platform for the next cascade. Finally, digital technologies constantly evolve towards higher processing capacity and lower cost. As digital technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous and affordable, hindrances are removed for engaging in digital innovation, thus enabling new constellations of actors to generate, develop, and fund novel digital products and services.
When exploring how companies can address the complexities associated with digital innovation, the characteristics of digital technology need to be put in the foreground. These unique properties of digital innovation processes call for companies to challenge established views and assumptions about the role and configuration of their product and service portfolio, their relationships to the digital environment, and how organisational properties are configured to support innovation work.

Digital innovation in context
The first online shopping websites were often poor translations of printed mail-order catalogues. E-commerce has since evolved, expanding the frontiers of digital service innovation. Now, online retailers such as Amazon offer more than convenience and cheaper products – by offering recommender systems as well as products at the far end of the long tail, they provide truly novel retail goods consumption. Online digital service innovation investments have also enabled traditional companies to gain strategic competitive advantage.
A new family of products is currently emerging as digital components are embedded in traditional products such as toothbrushes and heat pumps. Frequently referred to as ‘smart products,’ the embedded digital components enable companies to complement physical goods with online and mobile services that use the data generated. While the promises of smart products and ‘the internet of things’ is hotly contested, it is predominantly discussed in the context of home appliances. However, smart products are also emerging in the context of industrial manufacturing equipment. Here, embedded digital capabilities enable real-time monitoring and service forecasting instead of scheduled servicing.
The effects of digital innovation are particularly pervasive for companies that engage in information-based products that can be fully digitised. While the mainstream media industry is in the midst of such a restructuring process, it seems the music industry has somewhat stabilised after a transformation that was ignited at the turn of the millennium. Record labels had optimised their operations by selling one product – vinyl albums (and later CDs) – and then distributing copies. It was an efficient means of delivering music artists’ recorded work to the public from the 1940s onward. In the late 1990s, the emergence of peer-to-peer networks such as Napster confronted the music industry with unexpected challenges. When the audience wanted to listen to new music in novel ways, the industry’s somewhat closed approach to innovation was exposed. Although customers were moving in another direction, many major record labels continued to consider their core business the production and sale of music CDs. Historically, labels controlled their own value chain from end to end: from signing new artists to distributing his or her music to record stores. Unwillingness to challenge this definition, along with certain insensitivity towards customers’ interest in MP3 files, hampered digital innovation.
The music industry failed to manage digital innovation. As did Kodak, which failed to re-orient its business as digital cameras emerged. We have, however, also seen how digital innovation can enable established companies to move into new domains. A classic case of such digital portfolio expansion is IBM’s shift in focus from hardware to software and services as PC diffusion accelerated in the early 1990s. Another example of such digital portfolio expansion is Apple effectively becoming a music distributor with iTunes. Along with new entrant Spotify, Apple contributed to energising the business ecosystem in the music industry through digital service innovation. Although the internet once seemed hopeless as an arena for paid content, Netflix rebutted such notions while invigorating the film and television industries. Netflix took digital service innovation a step further by not only distributing digital content but also producing it. Going back to the music industry, additional links in the value chain were eventually reconfigured due to digital innovation. For example, software such as Garageband enables cheaper and highly mobile music production, while free-of-charge alternatives such as Soundcloud illustrate that iTunes and Spotify are not the only gateways.
As companies engage in digital innovation, they face a number of uncertainties. For example, questions arise about what factors govern the adoption of digital products and services. In addition to defining the boundaries between different products and services, companies need to consider how each product and service can generate revenue in different ways through balancing free and premium components. Companies are also challenged to keep constantly up-to-date with how new digital technologies relate to their business and to identify new opportunities for innovation. In organising their digital innovation efforts, companies need to cultivate and source new skills both internally and externally while co-ordinating improvisational efforts in multiple digital innovation projects.
A managerial framework for digital innovation strategy
In seeking to manage digital product and service innovation, there is uncertainty occurs across three dimensions:
- the company’s products,
- its digital environment, and
- its organisational properties.
Therefore, companies need a holistic view of digital innovation when navigating the rapidly changing digital innovation landscape. The framework presented by Nylen and Holmstrom enables companies to gain such a holistic view of digital innovation, helping them to motivate and keep track of their digital innovation efforts. The five key areas included in the framework are:
- user experience
- value proposition
- digital evolution scanning
- skills
- improvisation.

Digital innovation strategy: User experience
Since the late 1990s, consumer goods and services such as home appliances and air travel have been increasingly purchased via e-commerce websites, which compete on more than just price. Here, website navigation has to be smooth, while based on filtering functionalities that allow users to seamlessly navigate massive product databases and arrive at the desired product in a few clicks. Measuring efficient browsing and usability is, however, not enough – the customers’ experience of interacting with these sites is key. While the user experience design is a central differentiator and competitive force, most websites have a substandard user experience design. In digital innovation, measuring the user experience involves not only usability issues, but also the aesthetic properties of digital products and services. Users are affected by appearance, so these aspects need to be carefully leveraged and aimed at evoking a positive emotional response from the user.
It could be argued that the consistent aesthetics of Apple’s hardware and software under the reign of head designer Jonathan Ive contributed to raising the user experience high above competitors, thereby contributing to Apple’s market dominance.
The user experience can be measured by the way the company’s digital products and services evoke engagement. When seeking a way to create digital products and services that are engaging, companies need to explore and tap into values that can make the experience of their digital products and services meaningful to users. Creating an integrated user experience that evokes engagement is particularly important when moving beyond websites and desktop applications. The smartphone application Foursquare is a successful example of the role of engagement in the user experience design. While supporting location-based check-ins, Foursquare rewards the user with both virtual badges and titles while showing the user how she is doing compared with friends. User experience is the first key area that companies need to measure in order to motivate and keep track of their digital innovation efforts. This is done through obtaining a composite measure of the levels of usability, aesthetics, and engagement in companies’ digital products and services.
Digital innovation strategy: Value proposition
In the Industrial Era, dominant designs provided a structure that enabled benchmarking and unified pricing. In the digital age, however, companies increasingly innovate on malleable intangibles that can be rapidly reconfigured. Therefore, while digital product categories are fragile and negotiable, the ongoing reconfiguration of the firm’s business model has been highlighted as critical in a context of digital innovation. In this context, the business model defines the ‘architecture of the revenue’ while addressing the processes of value creation involving the value network around the firm, including suppliers, customers and third parties.
Indeed, digital innovation has contributed to demolishing several established Industrial Era business models. Digital innovation is associated with new logic and configuration of revenue streams. In Nylen and Holmstrom’s framework, the value proposition of digital products and services is evaluated by assessing three elements, beginning with customer segmentation. This involves analysing the customer base in order to make strategic decisions about how to reach different groups of customers with the products and services in the firm’s digital portfolio. Customer segmentation enables companies to start reflecting on the pricing and positioning of their digital products and services.
Having segmented the customer base, companies need to decide how the products and services in their digital portfolio can be differentiated and bundled. This includes the specific configuration of the balancing of premium and free, and the role of advertising in each of the firm’s digital products and services. iTunes, for example, challenged the music industry’s established bundling model by pricing tracks instead of albums.
In contrast to traditional product licensing models, companies engaging in digital innovation are faced with commissions of channel owners. For example, the Apple Store and Google Play both take a 30 per cent commission on sales, while e-commerce storefront services vary in their commissions. Therefore, companies need to consider how the commission of channel owners can be negotiated.
Digital innovation strategy: Digital evolution scanning
Digital technology seems to evolve out of itself, starting with a few simple hardware and software components, combined in several rounds over time into more and more sophisticated and integrated ones, forming systems of increasing complexity.
During the past decade we have seen how this evolutionary process is constantly speeding up. This is not only manifested in ever-shorter release cycles of digital devices, but also in the explosion of social media and communication services and applications. Companies need to monitor these developments in order to ensure compatibility by implementing timely upgrades of their digital products and services. However, this monitoring moves beyond compatibility concerns when companies seek to harness the full scope of digital innovation.
Digital evolution scanning involves identifying new opportunities for innovation. As digital innovation emerges in these acts of recombination, companies need to continuously consider how they can be active participants. That is, how can they exploit these opportunities and generate an aggregated value through creating digital products and services that use existing components?
In doing so, companies need to keep up-to-date with and analyse the progress of digital technology and associated usage patterns. This is done through gathering intelligence on which new hardware devices are on their way to market, including components such as memory, processors and chips, and devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets. Companies need to expect this evolution to continue and assess how it relates to their business.
Furthermore, digital technology has enabled a reinvention of sales and distribution channels. Companies can now position and integrate their products and services with an abundance of mobile operating systems, social media sites, and app stores. Facebook is currently a key actor for many companies that use the platform to a varying degree, ranging from small businesses that push information out to their customers, to large players that use Facebook to pull new customers in through formalised partnerships. Finally, digital evolution scanning involves observing new user behaviours. To this end, new markets can emerge as users sometimes unexpectedly adopt a digital technology into a new use context.

Digital innovation strategy: Skills
Skills
The core competencies of incumbent companies can actually stand in the way of innovating when entering new markets. This is also a challenge in digital innovation, but as production of quality products and content remains key, digital innovation requires new skills without making all existing skills obsolete.
Industrial Era companies should seek to leverage and translate skills obtained from developing analogue products. Measuring this key area involves taking stock of the ways in which learning is supported and promoted throughout the organisation. Digital innovation involves continuous learning whereby new digital technologies are explored in order to create an understanding of their unique properties. This can involve establishing conditions for retraining and incentives for existing staff to acquire digital skills. Companies should be alert and identify organisational members that are drifting from their established roles towards improvising with digital technologies. Such talent is important to pick up in order to secure the appropriate skillsets for future projects, ultimately achieving sustainable digital innovation management.
While new roles can emerge from within the organisation, companies may recruit externally for specialised digital staff that complement existing staff. In combining such roles, it is a key challenge for managers to assess the current status of organisational members’ skills, ensuring that they can be fruitfully assembled in dynamic innovation teams with the right combination of skills for each project.
While managers may engage consultants to achieve quality digital service designs in individual projects, developing in-house skills ensures the agility needed to handle the rapid pace of digital innovation processes.
Digital innovation strategy: Improvisation
In the Industrial Era, product development was a slow and costly procedure. Trained organisational members in formal engineering and designer roles exclusively handled this activity. In contrast, digital technologies are ubiquitous in contemporary companies. By promoting improvisation throughout the organisation rather than trying to impose central control on all digital innovation processes, contemporary companies can harness complexity through combinatorial innovation.
In the digital realm, an improvisation is often an act of reconfiguration. The malleability of digital technologies affords a higher degree of improvisation than their analogue counterparts. Improvisation involves risk-taking, and the low cost of digital technology also means a lower cost of failure. Therefore, managers need to ensure they provide staff with an improvisational space in which structure and flexibility are balanced in such a way that the constraints maximise creativity while evoking ‘generativity’. Google, for example, allocates 20% of employees’ working hours to individually initiated projects.
It is critical for companies to establish mechanisms for capturing the successful outcomes of such efforts. Meanwhile, in order to deal with overlaps and waste, co-ordination is a key measure.
Digital innovation strategy: Delivering digital innovation
When successfully implemented, Nylen and Holmstrom’s framework enables companies to continuously adjust their operations in order to optimise digital innovation efforts. It should be noted, however, that because each company is unique, the ways in which each measure is operationalised and deployed may differ substantially. Tailoring the framework involves deciding whether to use quantitative or qualitative measures. Indeed, digital technology opens up multiple ways of capturing data. For example, in the product dimension, companies can negotiate with customers to share their data in order to gain insight regarding usage and purchasing patterns. In terms of the environment, companies need to investigate how they can capture or ‘scrape’ web data from technology blogs and similar venues to obtain intelligence on developments in digital technology that complements their existing business intelligence practices.
Many factors influence companies’ digital innovation efforts. While factors such as political policies and regulations were always important in a context of innovation, this is also the case in digital innovation. Nylen and Holmstrom’s framework, however, focuses on the new key areas to be prioritised due to the unique properties of digital technology. Another limitation of the framework is that it does not cover internal process innovation enabled by digital technology.
While being able to deal with the rapid change associated with digital innovation processes is key in contemporary companies, this is clearly still unchartered territory for many businesses. This fact underlines the importance for all companies to have in place appropriate tools for managing digital innovation. And while Nylen and Holmstrom’s framework is informed by recent research and industry developments, the academics hope to inspire additional managerial accounts and further scholarly study in this exciting domain.

With innovation firmly in the driver’s seat, we ponder the transformative forces at play, and how it will shape the forward movement of humankind
Words by Karan Karayi
To move forward is the ceaseless mantra of humankind, and it has been so since time immemorial. Today, perhaps more than at any other point in the history of humankind, we are witnessing a slew of innovations reshaping the future of mobility as we know it, or never have. Across startups and traditional OEMs, some of the sharpest minds are looking to push the boundaries of possibilities.
However, as Indians everywhere would loudly attest, having a 1.4 billion strong population (and counting) comes with its own unique set of challenges, chief among which are congested cities. With approx. 1.45 billion cars to be found across the world, one might imagine India’s per capita car penetration would be strong, but you’d be wrong. India’s car penetration is less than 35 per thousand in 2023, which is less than half the average for emerging markets. By comparison, there are 868 vehicles per 1,000 capita in the United States, 635 in Norway, 391 in Mexico, and 219 in China.
However, according to TomTom Traffic Index data on the time wasted in rush hour traffic in 390 major urban areas worldwide, India has two cities in the top 10 most congested cities in the world, as measured by time wasted in rush hour traffic (slow clap for Bengaluru and Mumbai). Ralf-Peter Schäfer, Vice President of traffic at TomTom, explains that the fundamental problem is that “too many people want to drive at the same time in the road network”. With a growing numbers of cars on the road and a lack of public transport infrastructure, “If you don’t make a massive investment in transit [systems], then the consequences are higher congestion,” he adds.
While a conscious effort is being made to move away from the legacy of privately owned vehicles towards public transportation or shared mobility options, it is not one that will be swift. This can be seen in the enduring popularity of four and two-wheelers of all stripes owned across India.
Trends to keep an eye on
Change can often be a funny thing. Sometimes, it can be upon us in a flash, becoming commonplace before we know it. At other times, it takes years to take root, and before we realise it, the world as we know it is altered.
The events of the last few years encapsulate both of these characteristics of change amply. The pandemic made us realise just how problematic commuting (especially in urban areas) detracted from the overall quality of life, with many being open to the idea of greater flexibility and peace of mind in the manner in which they get around.
The rise of micromobility
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve no doubt noticed the surge of two-wheelers dotting the Indian landscape. Expect this to grow unabated; according to a report by CRISIL, two-wheeler sales are expected to grow more rapidly than all other automobile categories between 2023 and 2028, at a CAGR of 9% to 11%, ultimately reaching a total of 25.9 million to 26.1 million units during this period. By FY32, sales are expected to nearly double to 30.7-30.9 million units from 16.3 million units in FY23. Put it down to buoyant consumer sentiments and rising disposable incomes, as also a desire for more flexible and palatable mobility options.
Electric mobility on a charge
The biggest beneficiary of the small-is-big switch in mentality has been the EV two-wheeler space, which has come to life in the last few years. Studies by equity research firm Elara Capital showed that the average monthly registration rate for electric two-wheelers for the first half of 2023-24 stood at 66,600 units, a figure that represents an upward swing after the blip brought about by the government slashing subsidies on electric two-wheelers. In comparison, the average monthly registration rate for all of 2022-23 was slightly lower at 60,500 units.
“Electric two-wheeler volumes continue to see a steady improvement. We expect this contribution to inch up further in H2 this fiscal and in FY25 as companies launch models at a competitive price to offset the subsidy reduction impact, and by reducing the battery capacity and implementing cost reduction measures from suppliers to benefit from scale,” said Jay Kale, an analyst at Elara Capital.
Autonomous mobility, the new norm
With the advent of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, computer vision, and robotics, autonomous mobility is no longer in the realm of science fiction. We’ve already seen these technologies start to become mainstream, and it will continue to be so as our understanding of its application and expertise in the underlying technology grows. This will allow vehicles to reliably navigate even complex environments with great accuracy and minimal human intervention, thus ensuring convenience and comfort without compromising on safety.
Currently, most vehicles sold with autonomous capabilities in India and the globe come with Level 2 or Level 3 ADAS features. This means the vehicle can self-adjust speed, brake when necessary, and even switch lanes, but the “driver” must periodically have his or her hand on the steering wheel for rapid intervention if needed. In time, Level 4 (being able to operate without driver input in most situations) will be commonplace, with the aim being to create Level 5 (or fully autonomous) vehicles.
And it’s not just autonomous mobility; expect these advances to also impact consumer-oriented products and services, such as self-driving delivery services, drones, and ride-sharing apps with autonomous capabilities, as we can already see happening in the Western world.
The unstoppable march of technology
It’s not just AI either; a motley cocktail of digital technologies are making an intoxicating case for cars as computers on wheels. A mix of the ubiquity of 5G, advanced robotics and cobots, the cloud, and edge computing are reshaping the dynamics of the automotive industry. From powering pre-sales, to monitoring manufacturing quality, streamlining the purchase process, and more, technology is equipping industries with an array of functionalities to drive data-driven decision-making and deliver incredible value. Suddenly, the whole idea of vehicles as software on the move isn’t that far-fetched an idea.
Together, these changes are painting a picture of change that is rooted in being smart, sustainable, efficient, and forward-thinking. Straddling the new-age and the traditional, these opportunities across the mobility landscape offer the chance to dive headlong into a brave new world with great velocity, and it is one that must be focused on with great intent. |

Many startups are now getting support in Morocco either at the seed or growth stage, but support programs and organizations are too few, and not good enough to help the birth of a real entrepreneurial culture worthy of the American model.
In this piece, we will look back on a selection of initiatives supporting tech entrepreneurship, and draw lessons for the startups, and suggestions for improvement for support organizations.
We’ve decided to limit ourselves to eight initiatives, but there are many more. Give us your opinion on those, and other initiatives in the comment section.
The community-driven initiatives
Startup Maroc has managed to import the successful Startup Weekend American program to Morocco, and organized a 12-stop roadshow in 2014 that has reached 1,200 young Moroccans. Startup Maroc has also organized various startup competitions thanks to its sponsors OCP Entrepreneurship Network, including Maroc Startup Cup, a 6-month business model competition offering a $1,100 USD to the winner
What have they really done? Startup Maroc has managed to spread the entrepreneurship culture to students, and to tell them about business models, business plans, and minimum viable products. But too many projects don’t last a year. Participants need more mentoring and tracking after the competitions to improve the impact the organization has.
Its slogan “Let’s build a startup community in Morocco!” says it all. StartupYourLife, is a community of young Moroccan entrepreneurs who share resources and experiences. Its Meet Ups are regular events that bring together the community, but cofounder Kenza Lahlou wants to go further. She told us during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, that 2015 will see a more complete program with mentorship and competitions.
What have they really done? StartupYourLife piqued the media’s interest, and managed to bring enthusiasts, angels, and potential investors together. But a lot still has to be done to bring to the community the media coverage it deserves, and StartupYourLife needs to gear up its plans.
Seedstars World is a global competition that wants to identify startups within high potential on startup scenes in emerging economies, and give them access to an international network of investors and mentors. This year saw the launch of Seedstars Casablanca in May, in partnership with StartupYourLife. 18 startups took part in the competition, and three were given prizes, for a total amount of $11,000 USD. The winner will take part in the finale that will take place in Geneva in the hope of getting an investment that could reach $500,000 USD.
What have they really done? Seedstars program permits help to local startups for their expansion. Sadly, it went almost unnoticed this year (only 30 startups applied), maybe because it was communicating in English.
Located in the heart of Casablanca, the coworking space New Work Lab has become the place for entrepreneurs to meet, and attend meetups, like the Pitch Lab sessions, that offer startups real visibility. The founder, Fatim-Zahra Biaz, has been awarded Wamda’s Karim Jazouani prize this year. Her recent partnership with telco Inwi should make 2015 a really interesting year.
What have they really done? The coworking space offers the community a place to meet, work, and exchange. Clearly, Biaz has reached her goal.
The private and institutional organizations
Maroc Numeric Fund is an institutional fund of $11m USD dedicated to high-tech companies, and has already invested in several projects. For more than a year now, the fund has chosen to focus on more mature companies with tickets going from $450,000 to $900,000 USD.
What have they really done? MNF is the organization giving the biggest financial help to Moroccan startups, but some of the startups they invested in have failed, and this discourages some entrepreneurs [editors note: the failing rate of MNF is actually in line with the one VCs are seeing in the rest of the world].
Maroc Numeric 2013 is a strategy that the Ministry of Digital Economy started in 2009 to make the country an emerging nation in the ICT field. With a $580m USD budget, the program was to launch 18 initiatives whose descriptions were left voluntarily vague, but ranged from investments to subsidies in fields like SMEs and education.
What have they really done? After five years, the results are not so astonishing. If 87% of public schools now have basic multimedia equipment, and most red tape is now digital, much is left to be done to update the IT system in public institutions, as well as human resources training .
The Imtiaz program, for high-potential companies, has helped 170 companies for some $68m USD, but it’s far below the need of the makers, and the eligibility criterion are too strict.
Maroc Numeric Cluster is a strategic plan that the Ministry of Digital Economy initiated in 2010 to help innovative projects, in the fields of mobile, computer security, banking, digital rights, multimedia, and software, to see the light of day.
They’re mostly known for the Mobile Monday Maroc, conferences that brought together the players from the digital scene to discuss gaming, mobile banking, and internet, and for co-organizing Trophées de l'Innovation IT.
What have they really done? Although rare the MNC’s events are good events, but the Cluster should go beyond organizing events, and should take part in developing the sector by promoting R&D, training, and innovation. [Disclosure: MNC works with The Nexties, the media outlet of which I’m the editor in chief].
OCP Entrepreneurship Network is a program created by the famous Moroccan corporation OCP to foster entrepreneurship in Morocco, and enable small companies to grow and become sustainable. They offer technical and financial help through a large network of partners including Startup Maroc, Endeavor Morocco, Mowgli Mentoring, and Réseau Maroc Entreprendre.
What have they really done? The program is starting to have a positive impact on the community, but as the Moroccan expression goes “one hand only cannot clap,” we need more corporations to follow the lead of the Office Chérifien des Phosphates.
Of course this list is far from being exhaustive. We haven’t mentioned the Centre Marocain de l’innovation, and its Intilak and Tatwir programs, whose impact has been the subject of a few articles lately (here and here), Endeavor Morocco, who launched less than a year ago, mentorship networks like Mowgli, and Réseau Entreprendre, telecom operators Inwi, and Méditel’ programs, the support organization CEED Morocco, or the student networks Enactus, Injaz Al Maghrib.
So, how can we improve the situation
Those last five years have proved that the development of an ecosystem for tech companies requires the development of a community, through interaction and events. Ideally, a lobby should defend the interests of the various players, and work to make the administrative, fiscal, financial and legal environment more innovation compatible.
This half-decade has also shown that offering funds is not enough. A quick look at MNF results proves that young entrepreneurs need mentorship and followup more than funds. The digital economy startups need incubators, technological hubs, and accelerators, to become a vector of social and economic improvement.
As for the entrepreneurs, they should know by now that they cannot depend on public funds, and the support of the government, as money will always arrive later than planned.
What do entrepreneurs expect from the government and corporations?
The digital economy and innovation can only grow if a financial revolution takes place, this would require the development of digital transactions, mobile payments, participative funding, and tax concessions both for microenterprises, investors and VCS.
Banks should also pay more attention to the technological market; and entrepreneurs should meet them half way, learning the bank language, and coming with solid business plans, precise financial projections, and a strong database of clients.
Finally, this culture has to be promoted among students, and private companies, and universities should work hand in hand to make finding internship, and sharing experience easier. |

Collaboration and Productivity Trends to Adopt in 2024
Kehinde Ogundare
Given the significant challenges both the Nigerian and global economies face, businesses have had to work harder than ever to survive, ensure business continuity, and stay competitive over the past few years. One of the key aspects that businesses had to focus on in this regard was improving employee collaboration and productivity to manage staff experiences in the workplace amid all the challenges across the tech landscape.
While some of the pressures may ease in 2024 with more awareness of technology, it’s unlikely that it will all be plain sailing for businesses. Naira to Dollar fluctuation remains an issue, and many of the geopolitical issues that characterised 2023 may also spill over into 2024. Apart from this, the world of work is rapidly evolving, as remote and hybrid models are as common as on-site models today. Keeping employees connected and engaged amid this sea of changes needs to be an employer priority. One way businesses can sustain collaboration, productivity, and engagement levels among employees is through the use of effective workplace technology.
Below are a few work trends and collaboration technologies that businesses should pay attention to if they want to make the most of 2024.
Automation is everywhere (including in employee expenses)
Over the years, we’ve seen the automation of many business processes. Those advances will continue at an even faster pace in 2024 and beyond. One area that’s particularly ripe for innovation around automation is employee expense reporting. For employees, remembering to log expenses and keep all of their receipts can be a painful experience. For the people charged with reconciling those expenses at the end of every month, doing so can likewise be incredibly time-consuming.
Automating expense reporting can help organisations manage employee travel, make payments faster, and provide comprehensive analytics for expense reports related to travel, spending, and reimbursements.
The rise of productivity tools and collaboration platforms
Tied to automation is the rise of productivity tools, which one can think of broadly as pieces of software that simplify tasks, streamline workflows, make team collaboration smoother, ease communication, and improve access to work info. In other words, they help employees do more in less time.
Most businesses today use productivity tools of some kind. Organisations looking to add to their arsenals of business tools should look for software which—aside from providing a unified platform that supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication—also integrates contextually with business applications like CRMs so that workers can initiate ad-hoc conversations easily right in the business apps’ interfaces.
Ticketing applications enhance customer satisfaction
Today’s customers expect to be able to contact an organisation on the channel of their choosing and to get an immediate response when they do so. That’s not always easy for organisations to accomplish when they have to respond manually to inquiries through each of those channels. Doing things that way makes it difficult to ensure that every ticket is answered accurately with the right context and on time.
Ticketing applications can save a lot of time on that front by automating the process of assigning customer inquiries to the right agent. They can also make replying to tickets intuitive, provide accurate sentiment analysis, and ensure that issues can be seamlessly resolved across departments, among other things.
Paring back the technologies that don’t make sense
As exciting as these technological advancements are, it’s possible to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of collaboration and productivity tools available. As a result, some tools that seemed essential at one stage can end up not being useful.
Organisations should therefore spend at least some time in 2024 auditing the tools they use. They should axe any that aren’t in use, thereby saving the company money and further streamlining productivity and collaboration. Additionally, they should see if they can replace any of the tools they’re using with something in a productivity suite that they’ve adopted.
Even as businesses are well into the year, it’s never too late to capitalise on productivity tools and collaboration platforms. While organisations can’t fully control external forces shaping their operations, by embracing the right digital toolset and technology, they can enhance their competitive edge and navigate through changes effectively.

Be Your Own Valentine: A Self-love Guide
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and let’s be real – it’s practically a Hallmark holiday wrapped in chocolates, flowers, and candlelit dinners. No matter how much we try to dodge it, we can’t escape the reminder that love is in the air. And while we’re all wrapped up in celebrating the love we share with partners, friends, and family, there’s one kind of love that often gets shoved in the backseat, and that’s self-love.
It’s the one we often forget to shower with the same enthusiasm. But honestly, if you don’t love yourself first, how can anyone else?
In a world where everyone’s relationship status is practically flashing in neon lights, it’s easy to get sucked into the idea that being in a relationship is the ultimate goal. That finding “the one” is the magic ticket to happiness. We’ve all been sold this story that being with someone else is what completes us, like we’re some sort of puzzle missing that one last piece.
But here’s the plot twist: the real secret to happiness isn’t about someone else – it’s about what’s already inside you.
This Valentine’s Day, why not give yourself a little extra love? Temu is an affordable way to shop for all the goodies that bring your self-care vision to life. Temu is known for offering quality products at competitive prices by cutting out middlemen and their markups. Since its U.S. launch in September 2022, the direct-from-factory marketplace has expanded to 90 markets worldwide, becoming one of the most visited e-commerce sites and a top Apple recommended app of 2024. From candles to journals, and everything in between, you’ll find a wide range of quality products to create a space that celebrates you. After all, self-love isn’t just a feeling – it’s something you can nurture with every choice you make.
The secret ingredient
In a world where the hustle never stops, self-care has gone from a nice-to-have to an absolute must. It’s not just some trendy buzzword. It isn’t selfish, it’s vital.
Ladies, show yourselves some love with a pampering routine. Unwind with a refreshing cooling gel eye mask to soothe tired eyes, followed by a mani-pedi to give those nails some much-needed attention. Treat your feet to a relaxing soak with essential oils, and complete your at-home spa experience with a gift basket filled with delightful treats
Men, remember self-care is for you, too. Prioritise your well-being with a dedicated grooming routine. A grooming essentials kit provides everything you need for a polished look, from trimming tools to skincare must-haves.
It’s about taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, because how can you pour from an empty cup?
Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated
Self-care doesn’t have to mean expensive spa days or hours spent meditating (though if that’s your thing, go for it!). It’s really about checking in with yourself and taking small steps to nurture your well-being. It’s about being intentional in the way you care for your mind, body, and spirit.
Here are a few simple self-care practices to try this Valentine’s Day (and beyond):

Take time for yourself
Whether it’s 10 minutes with a cup of tea or an hour curled up with your favourite book, make sure to carve out time for yourself. Moments of solitude are where you can recharge and reconnect with your inner peace.
-
Move your body
Exercise is a game-changer. It doesn’t have to be a full-on workout session; the key is finding something that feels good to you. Whether it’s a leisurely walk in the park, a calming yoga flow, or even dancing around your living room like nobody’s watching – just move!
-
Set boundaries
One of the most loving things you can do for yourself is set boundaries. Protect your time, energy, and peace by learning to say no when necessary. You don’t have to please everyone. Your well-being is worth protecting.
-
Practice gratitude
Take a few moments each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for. Gratitude shifts your perspective and helps you focus on the positive in your life.
-
Invest in your growth
Whether it’s diving into a new hobby, enrolling in an online course, or simply taking a moment to reflect on your goals, doing things that light you up and challenge your mind will leave you feeling empowered and oh-so-fulfilled.
And here’s a little pro tip: a self-care daily planner from online marketplaces like Temu is like having your own personal cheerleader, waving pom-poms every time you make time for yourself. It helps you carve out those precious moments, inspires you to be mindful, and gently reminds you that your well-being deserves the spotlight. With a trusty planner by your side, self-care goes from a random afterthought to a fun daily ritual.
Go on, fall in love with yourself
This Valentine’s Day (and beyond), focus on nurturing the most important relationship you’ll ever have: the one with yourself. You are the star of your own life, and you absolutely deserve to put your happiness and well-being front and center.
Self-care is about showing up for yourself, being kind to your soul, and making choices that set you up for long-term happiness. When you do that, not only will you feel amazing, but your relationships (romantic or otherwise) will thrive because you’re coming from a place of strength, self-love, and authenticity.
So, go on, give yourself the love you deserve.

Do All Fintechs Have a Responsibility to Ensure Positive Social Impact?
By Zama Ndlovu
Positive social impact is often only associated with governments or NGOs, organisations which are doing good without the motivation of profit or brand. However, fintechs are oftentimes uniquely positioned to solve social issues through providing access to services, improved user experience and education.
Using various fintech products, consumers can gain a better understanding of their financial situation. Products like savings pots, investment platforms and as well access to loans can all lead to financial freedom for those without it.
In developing countries, fintechs are particularly responsible for social impact as there are often wider gaps to fill. Many communities are underbanked, which limits their access to other formal financial services such as savings, insurance and formal loans, ultimately limiting them to expensive informal products if that. Additionally, in some markets, policymakers are prioritising digitisation of payments to ease the implementation of a number of their policy objectives such as financial surveillance and lowering the cost of printing money. Fintechs can provide e-money products and facilitate digital transactions more cheaply than traditional players because of their leaner operating models.
Although not all companies will prioritise people over product or profit, in 2025, the world’s leading fintech companies will play a vital role in solving key societal issues and increasing global financial inclusion.
What sets a truly ‘fintech for good’ company apart from the rest?
Fintechs have the power to do good, but for a company to label itself ‘for good,’ this must be a key business priority. For many companies, social responsibility can feel like a ‘tick-box’ exercise to improve public perception. However, in a truly socially responsible fintech, the drive to improve lives and solve real-world problems is at the core of its business model, playing a role in every aspect of decision-making.
From planning and product design to branding and strategy, every part of a socially responsible fintech’s strategy should be driven by its overall mission to solve a meaningful problem for individuals and businesses.
At some stages, this will require tough decisions. For example, if a company wants to reach individuals in underserved or unserved rural communities, it must offer affordable and user-friendly products to facilitate financial inclusion. Although this may initially make a dent in profits as the products are cheaper, in the long run, the company will have a better social impact and will be suitable for a greater number of consumers. On the other hand, the company must make decisions it cannot make today because if it doesn’t consider profitability at all, it will not be sustainable in the long run.
What challenges will fintechs need to overcome to have a positive social impact?
Fintech leaders who are determined to do good must consistently focus on bringing the right people along on their journey. They can do this by highlighting the long-term benefits of creating ethical products with social impact, fostering financial inclusion and sustained awareness.
Creating socially responsible products can be challenging, as different stakeholders often have their own priorities and prejudices which shape their personal goals, but when everyone is truly brought in on the common mission, finding each other in decision-making is easier.
Nevertheless, when it comes to dealing with investors and board members, fintech leaders must balance their social impact ambitions with profitability, useability and affordability, to essentially ensure that their products can survive in a competitive market.

Alliance of Sahel States Stepping Forward With Common Economic and Security Aspirations
By Kestér Kenn Klomegâh
On January 29, 2025, within rapidly geopolitical changes in West African region, three landlocked countries namely Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, members of the newly created Alliance of Sahel States (AES), declared their withdrawal from the most influential bloc – Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The first implication was that 2025 marks the 50th year of the establishment of ECOWAS. Undoubtedly, it will simultaneously remain in history of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) as the period of their exit from the 50-year-old regional bloc, established by the Treaty of Lagos in May 1975.
Perhaps, ECOWAS has been fractured with uncertain future. On the other side, the AES will seemingly grow in strength as republics of Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Ghana and Senegal have shown signs of unswerving support for the newly-created security organisation in the region. Despite broader criticisms and emerging challenges, AES has the capacity to forge expected integration and to tackle existing diverse obstacles while navigating further for strategic external collaboration.
The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) was established on September 16, 2023 with the signing of the Liptako-Gourma Charter by the States of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. These three countries share the cross-border region of West Africa and the Sahel called “Liptako-Gourma” from which it derives the symbolic name of the Charter. It is a collective defense bloc aimed at countering any military intervention or any external threat including terrorism and with the ambition of economic integration.
Since last year, the AES has focused on structuring projects in the fields of energy, infrastructure, transport and food security. The trio aims to create an economic and monetary union, as well as its own currency which should be based on the natural resources of the member countries in the Confederation.
The collective initiatives undeniably are at the formative stage, fostering consciousness on structuring operations and functional directions notwithstanding the multiple roadblocks from ECOWAS. That however, worthy to indicate here that particular concern emerging from different regional organisations and the African Union underscores the rising assertiveness of AES.
At a glance, Burkina Faso is a driving force, while Mali and Niger have, in practical sense, shown the pathways for evolutionary influence as well as shaping a codified dynamism to hold the alliance in form towards achieving its primary security objectives and economic development aspirations.
For over a year, their joint effective strategy has been working, and the collective divorce from ECOWAS late January 2025 was an irreversible factor, that was based on the fact that ECOWAS has unprecedented weaknesses, combined with historical record-breaking failure in its mandate to maintain regional security.
In short, the rising insecurity situation has undermined regional cooperation, set the stage for dissatisfaction among the member states. With the sudden withdrawal from the 15-member ECOWAS, it is understandable Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have attained the collective independence, and prepared to form this new forward-looking regional partnership bloc popularly referred to AES.
ECOWAS and African Union’s Reactions
Reactions from both the ECOWAS and African Union (AU) were ‘business as usual’ characterized by official administrative statements. Late January after the three French-speaking West African States officially exited, the Peacekeeping and Regional Security Commission of ECOWAS said the remaining members tentatively had agreed to ‘keep ECOWAS doors open’ by recognizing national passports and identity bearing the bloc’s logo from the countries, to continue trade under existing regional agreement, and to continue diplomatic cooperation with the countries.
The statement noted that the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali and the Republic of Niger from ECOWAS has become effective on 29th January 2025. While the Regional Security Commission has set up a structure to facilitate discussions on these modalities with each of the three countries, its official statement categorically noted the following:
- a) recognize National passports and identity cards bearing ECOWAS logo held by the citizens of Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali and the Republic of Niger, until further notice.
- b) continue to treat goods and services coming from the three countries in accordance with the ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) and investment policy.
- c) allow citizens of the three affected countries to continue to enjoy the right of visa free movement, residence and establishment in accordance with the ECOWAS protocols until further notice.
- d) provide full support and cooperation to ECOWAS officials from the three countries in the course of their assignments for the Community.
In addition to above-mentioned developments, the Political, Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union (AU) headquartered in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, has also expressed high-level concern over the deteriorating standing of ECOWAS as a regional bloc and the security situation in West Africa region.
The AU, of course, raised an unequivocal condemnation of the final decision and withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from ECOWAS. But factually, the AU’s reaction was distinctively similar, in terms of administrative and bureaucratic wording of the official statement, mostly for the sake of filling in the space, under-estimated the long-term repercussions and impact on the developments in the region.
Reaffirming solidarity by the African Union with ECOWAS in enforcing its mandate and high-lightening the importance durable peace, security, and sustainable development as enshrined or stipulated in the documents. The AU employed such phrases as ‘respecting the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity’ contained their established documents of ECOWAS.
Endowed Natural Resources
In any case, understanding economic potentiality and sustainability is crucial at this stage. The economic potential is huge, as Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger put together holds tremendous untapped resources.
According to various sources, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger territorially share borders together and are landlocked countries in West Africa, in the Sahel region. They are geographically bio-diverse, which includes plentiful reserves of gold, manganese, copper and limestone, and other invaluable natural resources. The land mass is huge for traditional agriculture, but public infrastructures are poorly developed across the region of their location. Predominantly, the system of state governance combined with gross lack of finance are the main obstacles to sustaining development.
As known in these African countries, the French adopted a form of indirect rule, allowing existing native structures to continue to exist within the colonial framework of governance. But now reawakening to the neo-colonial administration and opaque system of government control have a significant impact on current political development. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, to some considerable extent have the human capital.
The 2024 estimates of population have revealed that Burkina Faso has 22.5 million, Mali which is the eighth-largest country in Africa, has approximately 21.9 million people while Niger has 26.5 million. The UN Development Program Report (2024) ranked Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger as the Sahel countries with the lowest category of development index in the world.
The future growth may only be sustained by the exploitation of natural resources and that must necessarily be tied to the development of the economy, building infrastructure and focus on reducing poverty in these French-speaking West African countries.
Future Economic Implications
AES has the capacity and commitment to address development shortfalls. Several development initiatives were already taken in this direction to stimulate the economic sectors, particularly in the priority areas of agriculture, livestock, health, and energy infrastructure.
Burkina Faso currently stepping efforts in agricultural sector, while Mali and Niger restructuring roles of foreign players in exploiting mineral resources suc as gold and uranium. This allows greater economic and political autonomy in order to strengthen their sovereignty. Perhaps, they will further have the opportunity to pursue more economic policies in line with the existing realities dictated by the political environment and to bolster aspirations of maintaining stability across their landlocked region.
Obviously, the AES is getting oriented towards multi-polarity, which is intended to be a more inclusive and concerted approach, where different countries and regions work together to find common solutions. By pursuing the principles of the multipolarity, world, the AES could engage in pragmatic win-win partnerships to advance their interests for the purposes of economic development and growth, and stability.
The AES collective pledge further requires making collaborative efforts and, in a systematic manner, work towards sustainable development, find better chances for practical solutions to existing economic deficiencies. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have to adopt strategic positions, first, in West Africa, and generally in Africa.

Evolution
When I say Evolution, I am not talking about the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
When I say evolution, I’m talking about the gradual development of something.
Back in 2019, we introduced TD Strategies.
It was so magnificent and breathtaking that most traders started using it.
TD Strategies is one of the most well-used and most talked about strategies in any trading community in the Philippines.
Its simple, its direct and it produces actual great trading results.
Three years have passed and there have been a lot of improvements made to the original TD Strategies.
We gathered data from TD Strategy users for 3 years and come up with the necessary improvements to address all the issues that they had with the strategy.
MAMA was the first TD strategy that we have studied. The main fault about MAMA lies with anticipation of the user sa mga bullish crossover and the lag that this crosses carry when compared to price action. Anticipation of bullish crossover makes a trader buy before the MACD actually cross. These leads to a lot of fake outs. Akala mo magkocross then hindi pala natuloy. Its results in bigger than anticipated monetary loss. MACD itself is a lagging indicator. This pose a huge problem when you have a stock price that moves fast or at least have a higher volatility. The moment MACD shows you a cross ay mataas na ang price at mataas na ang risk na hindi na ideal pumasok.
CALMA is using CCI on a weekly timeframe at ang problema naman sa CALMA ay minsan sobrang taas na ng price bago pa magbigay ng entry signal.
TITA is nice when used on a swing trade but gets really slow and erratic kapag ginamit sa mas faster or lower na timeframe dahil sa confirmation na kailangan from RSI.
SENYORA, FISHBALL and ALMA at iba pa ay may mga weakness din na through the help of the 3 year data and feedback ay aming nabago at mas naimproved.
We understood the problem and we came up with a solution.
We are now ready to show you the EVOLVED TD STRATEGIES.
On OCTOBER 28, 29 and 30 ay gaganapin ang EVOLUTION COURSE kung saan ay we will unveil sa aattend ang bagong TD Strategies.
This new strategies ay hindi available saan man unlike sa mga previous na courses.
This new ones will be only exclusive to those na aattend.
Now, if you have been using TD Strategies noon ay alam namin ang iniisip ninyo.
“Why should I avail this?”
Ang sagot sa tanong na yan ay improvement.
“He who stops being better stops being good.”- Oliver Cromwell
These new TD Strategies were created to be used across all markets.
Ginawa din ang mga ito na may exclusivity kasi unless may permission ka from us ay hindi mo magagamit ang indicator kasi naka invite-only so talagang yung mag aavail lang ng EVOLUTION ang pwedeng gumamit.
Mahaba ang evolution na course (3 days) kasi hindi lang mga new strategy ang laman ng course. There are a lot more. If nakatry ka na sa mga TD Courses ay alam mo na we do not make up courses for the sake of making a course. We develop great courses na more than what its worth and nagkakaroon talaga ng positive results sa trades ng mga umattend.
Join us on October 28, 29 and 30 for this historic moment.

Innovation Training created outward facing, customer-oriented employees
The Innovation Agent Program was presented in a WAITRO training, which was held in Putrajaya, Malaysia from September 11-14, 2017. This training was co-organized by WAITRO and the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), Denmark. The Innovation Agent Program trains employees of Research and Technology Organizations (RTOs) to successfully interact with Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In this workshop, RTO employees’ – in their role as agents -learned to introduce innovative services and partnership models to smaller companies. SMEs benefit from shorter decision-making paths and less bureaucracy, meaning less obstacles to innovation. Because of this, the Innovation Agent Program is important to bring newly developed solutions into the industry. The program has been introduced in New Zealand (2012), Trinidad Tobago (2016), and Austria (2016). The Innovation Agent workshop was facilitated by Mr. Knud Erik Hilding-Hamann, Director of Centre for Ideas and Innovation from DTI and Dr. Kirstie Yvette Wild, Director of International Centre of DTI. |

How to explore alternative futures, engage the collective imagination, and find new paths forward
Join us for our four-day, intensive flagship futures, systems, and design course as we explore the ideas, methods, and relationships that can help us imagine and bring to life a joyous and sustainable future.
We can’t predict the future, but with the use of design, storytelling, and scenarios, we can explore multiple alternative futures, giving us new perspectives on the issues and opportunities we face or might face in years to come. We can open up the opportunity space, we can define the future we want, and we can identify the actions we can take to bring us on the path of getting there. These approaches let you explore who you strive to be, they help you identify and deliver on the need for change within and around you, and they can support you in shaping the impact you want to have on the future.
It is clear: We need to imagine radically different alternatives to avoid extinction and societal collapse. We desperately need new narratives to guide us on our path forward: As individuals, as organizations, as communities, and as societies. To tackle the systemic issues we’re facing, we need to train ourselves to think beyond short-term problem-solving and consider long-term perspectives. We need images of the future, and cold facts and projections simply won’t cut it alone. If we’re to make it — we need to fuel the engine of human emotion, creativity, and storytelling.
About the course
During the course, you’ll learn design- and scenario-based approaches to navigating uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity and inspire systems change. You will train your ability to move back and forth between the present to the far future — and between concrete situations and abstract systems. Throughout the course, we’ll give you the tools to deploy these approaches in your own practice — be it as a designer, innovator, facilitator, or decision-maker. You will learn how future scenarios are created and how you can take them from abstract ideas to living worlds that inspire specific and tangible actions across networks of stakeholders. We’ll provide concrete tools and examples as well as inspiration from the fields of transition design and speculative design.
Speculative- and futures-based design is a way to work with some of the bigger societal challenges we are facing — often in the form of scenarios. By the use of scenarios and the process connected to scenario planning, we can explore different futures and backtrace to get some more tangible steps we can take toward bigger changes in our society. In scenarios, we don’t need to be restricted by what is possible now but can experiment with ideas where the products and services are yet to be invented. This gives a more creative space to innovate in. This can be a great method to use when you want to work with creating systemic change and diverse groups of stakeholders.
During the hands-on course, you’ll familiarize yourself with tools and ideas that you can use in your own innovation practice:
- How to harness the power of social dreaming
- How to build alternative futures together and use them strategically
- How to identify risks and opportunities across future scenarios
- How to build a practice of continually scanning the horizon for change
- How to use imaginary futures in launching design-driven missions for system-level change
- How to utilize design as a way to speculate and ask critical questions
We hope you want to join us in exploring some of the concepts we see shaping a new paradigm of futures-oriented design aimed toward system-level change. All while getting a chance to meet and connect with interesting people from all around.
Practical information
The course is intensive, besides plenary sessions it also includes both individual and group work as well as 1:1 sparring sessions with members of the faculty. The course runs over 4 days with a weekend in-between to allow for light homework. Beyond the training sessions, the course will also include several optional social networking opportunities with course mates incl. a dinner.
Danish Design Center will happily provide tips and recommendations in relation to finding accommodation.

parivedasolutions_com_perspectives_3-tips-to-help-leaders-navigate-the-new-business-environment_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4281
The unprecedented pace of technological advancement has had unforeseen (and many still unknown) effects on all aspects of human life. In combination with a multitude of other factors, including the sudden arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving technology is contributing to a business landscape characterized by ongoing disruption and persistent uncertainty. As change continues to accelerate, the challenges modern organizations face will become increasingly complex and multifaceted. Solving problems without a clear solution will be paramount.
Survival in this chaotic environment requires the ability to quickly adapt internal processes and systems, which in turn necessitates an organizational mindset that embraces change rather than resists it. At Pariveda, we’ve worked to foster such a mindset by promoting individual autonomy and flexibility, creating a level of fluidity that enables team members to move in and out of roles as needed. We’re not the only organization that has already discarded a centralized hierarchical management structure in favor of holacracy, and we expect many others to follow suit in the months and years ahead.
The new rules of the game
Simply put, organizations that aren’t willing or don’t know how to change will ultimately face obsolescence. The experiences of countless companies in the face of two relatively recent phenomena — the pivot to remote work and the ongoing supply chain crisis — provide evidence.
Companies that have resisted the former now find themselves struggling to learn how to attract and retain top talent. Until they understand that employee expectations have permanently changed, they’ll continue to struggle. Similarly, leaders that have been unwilling to rethink their supply chains and manufacturing processes continue to feel the effects of the current crisis. The longer they wait for the problem to resolve itself, the more customers they’ll lose to proactive competitors who have found new ways to create better experiences and deliver better products to the market.
To be sure, many companies will keep fighting to preserve the status quo, and some might even succeed temporarily. However, as category leaders continue to optimize operations, the consequences of complacency will only grow in severity. With that in mind, here are a few tips to help leaders evaluate key components of their businesses and move forward effectively as they pursue the promise of the future.
Align technology capabilities and intended outcomes
When implemented effectively, technology can be the ultimate equalizer. The right tools can help companies compensate for a lack of resources and overcome other constraints that would otherwise prohibit them from successfully competing against larger firms. However, technology can also be a roadblock, creating unnecessary work for employees or taking focus away from the goals that matter most.
To avoid the latter scenario, identify and prioritize your short- and long-term objectives and assess your existing capabilities, specifically in the context of these. Consider whether your current technology investments are moving you closer to meeting them, and think about what technology capabilities you’re missing that you’ll need to incorporate or get more familiar with in order to accommodate new initiatives. As the environment continues to change, custom business and technology solutions can help you adapt and evolve, but only if you have a clear understanding of where your business is headed.
Make resiliency a core business objective
The practices and approaches you’ve implemented to achieve success in the past won’t necessarily serve you in a dramatically altered business environment. Now (and increasingly in the future), the most successful organizations will be those that are able to adapt quickly rather than those that hold onto “proven” processes.
Organizational resilience isn’t created by products, technologies, or strategies, but rather is dependent on people. Achieving it requires you to develop a workforce that doesn’t run from change but embraces it. Not your typical consulting company, Pariveda developed the Pariveda Resiliency PlatformTM to help clients empower their people while navigating change. There is a multitude of employee experience platforms, such as Microsoft’s Viva, that can similarly aid in workforce development. Regardless of whether you rely on offerings like these, it’s imperative to cultivate an organizational mindset that values continuous learning and growth because these qualities are now essential to fulfilling your mission and achieving lasting success.
Understand your organizational identity
The pandemic gave many people an opportunity to reassess their values and priorities, which in turn has led to a fundamental shift in the way people conceptualize work. Today, a growing number of employees want their jobs to serve not only as a source of income but also as a path toward personal fulfillment. Those that don’t see alignment between their employer’s objectives and their own are more willing than ever to search for a new employer.
To attract and keep talented people, leaders must have some level of consciousness of their organization’s existence in the world. Whether it’s an environmental or social cause (or something else entirely), organizations must have a purpose that extends beyond profit-making. Moreover, they must articulate that purpose and use it to guide everything from short-term hiring decisions to long-term strategic planning.
Managing change isn’t easy; staying ahead of it is even harder. To navigate systematic change that involves countless interconnected variables and could result in any number of unique outcomes, leaders shouldn’t be afraid to lean on external partners. By adding specialized expertise and an additional perspective to key decisions around technologies, processes, and people, you’ll often improve your ability to shape the outcomes you want while avoiding those you don’t |

Innovation for Eco-friendly and Long-life Infrastructures
Session introduction: https://conf.vanj.jp/2022/timetable/event/civil/
On the morning of November 27, 2022, a session with the topic “Innovation for Eco-friendly and Long-life Infrastructures” took place lively and effectively with interesting presentations related to original investigations on innovative materials, structure and construction methods, risk assessment and management approaches for sustainable development of infrastructures from invited prestigious scientists and researchers in the field of Civil Engineering.
Opening the session, Dr. Nguyen Minh Hai, the University of Danang – University of Science and Technology expressed his wish that the conference would be a forum for academic exchanges between researchers with common interests to promote collaborative research in the near future.
The first guest, Prof. Hosoda Akira from the Concrete Laboratory, the Institute of Urban Innovation, Yokohama National University (YNU) and the director of the YNU disaster prevention center, Japan gave a keynote presentation about several advanced applications in Japan of “long-life” and “eco-friendly” concrete structures with industrial wastes and by-products. The presentation consists of three main parts including invention of innovative porous concrete and liquified stabilized soil, the durability design of RC deck slab utilizing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and expansive additive (EA), and the utilization of fly-ash (FA) for mitigating corrosion and alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete structures.
Next, Dr. Phan Hoang Nam, Faculty of Road and Bridge Engineering, the University of Danang – University of Science and Technology gave an overview of seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of fuel storage tanks in petrochemical plants using different analytical methods for deriving fragility functions. In addition, a framework for the seismic risk assessment of fuel storage tanks in petrochemical plants was also presented.
The third guest speaker, Dr. Hoang Phuong Tung, Faculty of Road and Bridge Engineering, the University of Danang – University of Science and Technology gave a presentation on applications of bio-carbonation for low carbon construction materials. He proposed using a unique technique which led to the enhancement of the hydration and carbonation processes via the synergistic combination of microbial carbonation process (MCP) with a hydration agent that enabled the self-carbonation of RMC-based mixes without the use of any special curing environments.
The fourth guest speaker, Dr. Vo Duy Hai, postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Civil and Construction Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taiwan introduced his research on recycling waste materials in concrete production. The presentation showed the solution to produce green concrete using construction demolition wastes as a partial replacement for natural aggregate.
Lastly, a researcher, Dr. Nguyen Trung Kien, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, VNU-HCM, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam gave a presentation on scattering of transient Rayleigh waves and its effect on buried pipelines. Several effects of scattering waves on the spatiotemporal response of the structure using parametric studies were mentioned.
The discussion session attracted more than 30 online and on-site attendees. The issues discussed in the program were not only from the online audiences but also had a special interaction between the guest speakers and students, researchers who are interested in the field of Civil Engineering.
