SDGs and Climate Change, how you can get involved
Saving lives and livelihoods requires urgent action to address both the pandemic and the climate emergency. Recently I found myself wearing more warm clothes than before because I can’t deal with the cold anymore. Even my covers have gained a new duvet and I am wearing warmer stocking in the house. My friends who travelled to Nairobi recently came back cursing the weather, only to find it shifting here too. Climate change is affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more extreme. Animals are hiding away from it and dying…

Alternative marketing, the death of cookies
It is important for all businesses to review how they are harnessing the marketing trends so they can apply the latest innovations through the 70:20:10 rule of marketing focus. The rule has it that 70% of the time we focus on things that are very core to our business, 20% is where we are trying to push the boundaries, the known unknowns; and the last 10% is the true crazy experimental stuff where we figure out how to do uncomfortable things that we are going to fail at more than we will succeed at. But with every success, you build a competitive advantage. This is the long version of the…

#PKTechWeekly; Tech for Manufacturing, Taxman and Tech, *252# The Lifestyle, Konnect Africa Wi-fi,
Technology to Compensate for Africa’s Lack of Manufacturing In many parts of the world advanced robotics and 3D printers are seen as a threat to manufacturing jobs. Yet in most of Africa manufacturing has never taken off, contributing just 5% of the continent’s jobs, compared with 15-18% in other developing regions, so robots will not kill many jobs. Instead, they offer the opportunity to create new ones by helping African firms overcome bottlenecks in production and by lowering barriers to making and selling things to the world. Without the rapid advances recently seen in digital design and manufacturing, the AHRLAC would never have taken flight. Yet there are many aspects…

In the hyped start-up scene, everybody is looking to emulate asset light companies like Uber and Airbnb, who are leveraging the under-utilised assets of others. While on the social level, Facebook is indirectly telling the world that no one can own features but rather join in the collaborations that make those specify features great and better. But even though Open Innovation…

Once upon a time with SafeBoda
Once upon a time, there was a need to regulate the use of bikes – bodas in the city of Kampala. The regulations were to enable safety, ease monitoring and management of the bikes in the capital city. These regulations required bikers and their users to wear helmets, bikers to be registered under a stage and have riders’ permits – default setting, Safeboda. The main implementer for this was Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA). Twice upon a time the above was halted, but the wait for the resurrection is on. But as young innovators and entrepreneurs of the Pearl of Africa, waiting on things we can do for ourselves seem…
