We've Got the Tech, But Why Aren't We Reaching Our Goals? - Untangle the African Tech Struggle at Sentech Africa Tech Week

The African continent is brimming with technological innovation. From startups pioneering mobile money solutions to established companies leveraging AI, tech is woven into the fabric of progress. Yet, a nagging question persists: why are many companies still struggling to reach their full potential, despite having access to advanced technologies?

The answer lies in a complex interplay of factors. Let's explore the pitfalls companies can encounter:

• The Legacy Trap: Many businesses are saddled with outdated infrastructure, hindering their ability to integrate seamlessly with modern systems.
• Shiny Object Syndrome: The allure of the latest tech can overshadow the need for a strategic approach. Choosing trendy solutions without clear goals leads to wasted resources and fragmented processes.
• The Implementation Gap: Even the most cutting-edge tech is useless if not implemented effectively. Skilled personnel and robust change management are crucial for a smooth transition.

So, how do we bridge this gap and turn "we've got the tech" into "we're reaching our goals"? Here are some key solutions:

• Strategic Alignment: Technology should serve your business goals, not the other way around. Clearly define your objectives and choose solutions that directly address them.
• Embrace a Hybrid Approach: Don't be afraid to leverage a combination of old, reliable systems and innovative new tools. Focus on integration and a seamless user experience.
• Invest in Your People: Building a skilled workforce is paramount. Provide training and upskilling opportunities to ensure your team can maximize the potential of your tech stack.
