Digital & Innovation

 

 

Digitization is one of the major challenges faced everywhere by private and public actors. Without legacy infrastructures, services and organizations that hinder disruption, developing markets have the potential to leapfrog by directly implementing innovative business models, digital customer experience and agile management practices.

While the M-Pesa and Mobile Money revolution is a perfect illustration of this potential, most sectors and segments remain to be disrupted. From access to energy to smart cities, digital telcos to public services, digitization has a huge and largely untapped business and development potential.
