Istock 1674139337 From disruptive tech innovations such as generative AI to turbulent economic data spooking businesses and requiring a retrenchment of staff, it’s a tough time to be a business leader. A 2023 survey by The Economist , commissioned by enterprise software company Planview, lays bare business leaders’ worries: 85% of executives admit their organisations struggle to adapt to change effectively. And although nearly a third of leaders view technology as crucial for strategy implementation, there is a growing recognition that rushing into innovation investments without proper planning can lead to costly missteps. “Everybody is punch-drunk with change, with disruption, with the whipsaw effect of market challenges and black swan events around the world,” says David Stevens, chief revenue officer for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Planview. “Global businesses are having to respond rapidly to stay competitive while also needing to drive down costs.” Everybody is punch-drunk with change, with disruption, with the whipsaw effect of market challenges Narrowed horizons In recent years, volatility has meant strategic planning has taken a back seat. Companies used to plan on a three-to-five-year horizon. “They’re struggling to stick to a three-to-five-month plan right now,” Stevens says. The most successful businesses […]
Two digital ID maestros working with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have advised that the government of Malawi, private sector actors and international development partners must deploy “coordinated efforts” as the country looks to accelerate its digital transformation march. In an advocacy article published on the UNDP blog, the agency’s Technical Advisor on Digital ID Governance and DPI, Tariq Malik; an Inclusive Digital Transformation specialist, Rachel Chang, and the Principal Secretary of Malawi’s National Registration Bureau (NRB), Mphatso Augustine Sambo, opine that “aligning stakeholders on key priorities will help Malawi build a robust digital ID system that empowers individuals and upholds their rights and ensures the system’s long-term viability.” The article makes a panoramic overview of Malawi’s digital public infrastructure (DPI) implementation, starting from the digital ID component which rolled out in 2018 and which today covers around 12.5 million people, about 75 percent of the estimated population of 21 million. The legal digital ID, the authors, say has not only helped unlock economic opportunities for Malawians, but has also gone a long way in facilitating access to several public and private sector services. The writers recognize that with enormous political support and intentional action, Malawi has been […]

Excellencies, dear colleagues. The digital revolution is accelerating. If we use, and use well, the tools this revolution is bringing, they can slow the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Help developing nations leapfrog to cleaner and more prosperous development pathways. And, of course, help to deliver sustainable development. The Global Digital Compact that will emerge from the Summit of the Future is therefore vital. My thanks to the Governments of Zambia and Sweden for their leadership. As the Compact acknowledges, we must pay close attention to the environmental impacts of digital technologies, so that the costs do not outweigh the benefits. As I hope that the world has learned from our climate failures and climate procrastination, prevention is not only better, but a lot easier, than the cure. That means that the environmental dimension of technologies such as AI cannot be an afterthought, a ticking of the proverbial box. We know that technologies such as AI impact the environment, from mining to emissions, from water consumption to E-waste – with issues of injustice deeply entrenched. But these impacts are not researched enough, particularly in the global south. This is why […]
