Preamble
Investors worldwide recognise Africa’s vast growth
potential, in particularly its demographic edge. Africa
is the world’s youngest continent and is expected to
have the biggest labour force by 2040. Robust growth is
accelerating with telecommunications, consumer-facing
industries, financial services, resources, agribusiness and
infrastructure driving growth and attracting international
trade and investment.
According to The Africa Business Agenda 2014 report,
CEOs in Africa feel more positive about their ability to
generate revenue growth and about prospects for the
economy now that they are emerging from the global
financial recession. The report acknowledge that a lot
more needs to be done in terms of transforming the
continent’s potential for exponential growth into tangible
business opportunities. They are looking on multiple
fronts for growth opportunities and concede the search
for growth will not be an easy task.
As the business world continues to grow more dynamic
and complex, so does the role of today’s leadership
and organizations. Transforming organizations through
people driven growth, research and technology now
requires major changes in paradigms and practices in
order to respond effectively to current tactical challenges.
Sequentially, these advances are expected to trigger a
strong acceleration in economic growth moving forward.

Companies are put to the test every day by potential changes in economic environment, policy, financial markets,
technology and other disruptions. How can CEOs lead with clarity and vision to achieve enduring success? How should
they take their companies from one stage of growth to another, expand across borders and diversify into new business
lines? Some companies adopt the entrepreneurial attitude of being a ‘perennial startup’ to stay ever nimble, agile and
poised for growth. How does this attitude energize companies and revitalize their culture and performance? How does it
recalibrate their growth engines to create new value?
