The Keys to Africa’s Future What will it take for African countries to achieve real development (water, good healthcare, skilled human capital, electricity, infrastructure, jobs, and broadbased prosperity)? There are two answers I would suggest: 1. A mental revolution: our continent remains impoverished largely because of the way we think - or don’t think. The things we prioritize. The collapse of values. The absence of vision and a proactive sense of where are, and where we need to be, in the world. So we must reinvent the African mind because, “as a man thinketh, so is he”. 2. The Organizing Principle: The ability to organize and execute with discipline and efficiency, which is what achieve real results that transform human reality. Strategy. Risk Management. Project Management. Monitoring and Evaluation. #Worldview All of this, in my thinking, requires the training of a whole new generation of young Africans that will transform our continent within the next generation, the way China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the rest of Rising Asia have done, on how to govern ourselves for success. But on our own terms. With an African world view and narrative. Watch this space! #AfricaFuture

We are changing the Lense from which Africa is seen. We see Africa for what it is. A continent with potential to leverage not only on the 3rd industrial revolution, but to leapfrog into the 4th revolution ON ITS OWN TERMS, through adjusting our approaches, redefining the design of our investments, and thinking outside the box on INNOVATION.
