Today, with a smart phone and internet, you virtually have the whole universe in your hands. From being able to purchase online, transfer money, order a taxi or a motor cycle, commonly known as “okada” or Boda boda in some parts of Africa, technology has reshaped how we live and do business.

Coupled with the massive impacts of globalisation, what mattered to Chinese only decades ago, now matters to Africa and vice versa.

Enterprises, small, medium or large, being manned by smart individuals, have embraced technology and globalisation as a sure way of gaining competitive advantage to enhance efficiency, reduce costs of operation and increase market share locally and globally leading to increase in their share price and bottom line figures.

Such enterprises are able to interface in real-time with faceless customers anywhere on the globe, thereby eliminating the hitherto advantages that physical location and monopoly offered some enterprises in the past. After all, the modern-day customer’s or manufacturer’s physical presence no longer matter as long as a service or product has been offered efficiently and timely.

The question then becomes, with this trend of continuous reshaping of the business world and the way we live by technology and artificial intelligence, will you as an individual or a company remain a spectator or an active participant in the digital space? Will you continue to live and operate in this digital space with an analogue mentality and skills set? What will be the likely implications on your business if you choose to remain a passive spectator as an entrepreneur or a professional? What skills do you need to survive in this disruptive digital age?

These questions and many more, will form part of the discussions at this year’s Second Kampala Strategic Leaders’ Summit to be held on the 27th, February 2020 at Sheraton Kampala Hotel.

The Summit will run under the Theme: Digital Innovation & Corporate Governance for SMEs Growth in the New Market Frontier and it is meant to help you and your business become relevant in the new market arena.

“How are you as an entrepreneur or individual professional using say; social media or even email marketing to get business? asked Mr Emmanuel Dei-Tumi, the president of Human Capital International and strategist of the Summit in a pre-Summit interview.

In the process of easing business operations and how individuals interact, Mr Dei-Tumi says technology and artificial intelligence has rendered several traditional jobs irrelevant but equally created new ones for those who have accepted to embrace technology.
