Collaboration and teamwork are essential for creating a resilient and innovative enterprise culture. These elements are essential in the diverse and dynamic business environment of Africa. Sefu, an entrepreneur from Tanzania, ran a construction firm that was struggling with siloed departments and poor collaboration. Projects were delayed, and the quality of work suffered as a result. Sefu's firm faced several issues: - Departmental Silos: Teams were working in isolation, leading to inefficiencies. - Poor Communication: Information was not shared effectively across departments - Low Team Morale: Employees felt disconnected from each other and the company’s goals. Read the Slides for solution. 📌To build a strong enterprise culture, focus on cultivating collaboration and teamwork. Break down silos, improve communication, and invest in team-building activities to create a cohesive and motivated workforce. #Collaboration #Teamwork #ConstructionIndustry #Tanzania #BusinessSuccess

#Top5 🚩 your consultancy is clueless… 1) First, check their Africa department/ group/council’s leadership. If it has not one person with a global south origin (Germany, France, British) , they don’t have a clue. 👉🏽People born between the continents, have intercultural skills that are essential. ✍🏼if you can’t be bothered talking international within your team…chances are you are not good at it cross border. 2) If the consultancy is based in Germany, a country with a Turkish Diaspora of around 4 Million and do not understand the maths that a bridge community represent….a la poubelle‼️Don’t bother. 🟡A consultancy should be able to offer you different strategies and one is joint ventures through countries such as Hungary or Turkey. 3) Francophone Africa is informal. The formal, impersonal German approach does not work at all. If your consultancy only knows how to do formal, paper based, e-mail….in the bin❗️ 4) Do they have a lobbyist on the ground? They don’t?…trash it. ⚠️Networking is the oxygen for business in Francophone Africa. Flying in once in a while, e-mails and zoom calls are not working. Next! 5) Due diligence is the biggest red flag. Any one offering you due diligence, being a consultant…is gaslighting you. Due diligence Francophone Africa is a whole job in itself. Asset tracing, risk matrix, a solid network of people, including service provider, knowledge of markets, detailed and informal insights are some of the requirements to do a due diligence in francophone Africa. Anything else is empty PR and run! #africa #afrika #duediligence

Today in South Africa is the Day of Reconciliation, celebrated since 1995. December 16th was chosen because it had significance to almost every group in South Africa and, therefore, was a perfect day to promote harmony, equity, and the end of apartheid. The lesson for business is that it is possible to merge cultures, address in and out-groups, and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Giving employees a voice is a must, and so is empowerment and safety, but those things break down walls and silos. Another lesson is communication; leaders and laypeople must listen to each other and clearly state their position. They need to be open to and actively seek feedback. Leaders need to encourage networking and contact between departments so silos do not develop. Lastly, when things go awry, leaders must take accountability and apologize. Then, they must take action and fix the problem. Reconciliation is a powerful word and is something all organizations can do. If organizations address cultural differences and communication, companies may become more diverse inclusive, and live up to the missions and visions they so much want to adhere to. #southafrica #reconciliation #diversity #diversityandinclusion #diversityequityinclusion #diversityinclusion #dei #equity #inclusiveleadership #inclusionmatters #inclusion #culture #positiveculture #positiveworkculture #positiveworkplace #positiveworkplaceculture #activelistening #communication #organizationalchange #organizationalbehavior #organizationaldevelopment

“ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH. ~Helen Keller” A quote that speaks directly into #teamwork. We have all heard the tag line Collaboration over Competition. But do we understand the psychology behind people who are easy to work with and those who are not ? Colleagues who are movers and those who are blockers ? How can we sell them the collective vision in the workplace ? How would the spirit of collaboration foster #mentalwellbeing in the workplace ? What about Unhealthy Competition ? How can we kill it from the roots up ? But most importantly What kind of Culture are you as an Organization building around #Collaboration ? I had an opportunity to facilitate this discussion with the staff of Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU) after our #feelgood, #lookgreat workout. We realized that #unhealthycompetition is largely a result of background experiences or inefficiencies requiring endless validation and the #Culture of the Organization. #mentalhealthadvocacy #employeeexperience #collaborationovercompetition Ambassador Damali Ssali Founder Ideation Corner Grace Nshemeire-Gwaku jamir kakembo APOLLO MUYANJA MBAZZIRA David Mugabe MBA, PRINCE2®

Effective #communication is the cornerstone of successful #collaboration. When we truly understand each other, we unlock the potential for informed and impactful decisions. This is vital not only for building strong relationships at work and in our personal lives but also for the betterment of South Africa, especially as discussions around coalitions are being navigated. In the workplace, clear communication fosters trust, encourages teamwork, and drives innovation. On a personal level, it helps us connect with loved ones and resolve conflicts. In the current context of political coalitions in South Africa, transparent dialogue is crucial. Effective communication can bridge divides, foster unity, and ensure our coalitions are true partnerships for the progress and trust building we so need in SA.  I’m hoping that there active listening, clear communication and the valuing each perspective to achieve a prosperous and equitable future for all South Africans.

His deep understanding of customer needs allows him to offer tailored solutions and fill any room with the right people. His customers absolutely love him!
