The upgrading of workforce skills is key to the competitiveness of SMEs. In today’s business environment there is a premium on innovation that enables firms to develop new products and services, new production processes and new business models. This requires both in-house innovation and the ability to absorb knowledge from other firms and organisations, both of which call for a skilled labour force. Skills are also a critical but understated resource for entrepreneurship seen in the sense of business creation. Similarly to workforce skills, entrepreneurship skills will boost the competitiveness of local businesses thanks to the improved strategic and management competences of the entrepreneur.

Michael Herglotz: Okay. I just started to record. Our discussion today aims to delve into the impact of digitalization on rural entrepreneurship initiatives, especially in enhancing the prosperity of the rural population in sub-Saharan Africa. Given your expertise and experience in this field, your insights will be invaluable in shedding light on how these initiatives can leverage digital advancement to tackle current challenges and seize new opportunities. There are no right or wrong answers, and I am interested in your experience and opinions. Before getting started, do you have any questions?
Rafiu Olaore: [0:00:52.0] No question. Let us get started.
Michael Herglotz: [0:00:56.0] Okay. Can you tell me about yourself, your initiative, and your main activities? How long have you been operating this business?
Rafiu Olaore: [0:01:09.0] I am Rafiu Akinpelu Olaore, the Founder and Executive Director of Youths Enterprise Development & Innovation Society (YEDIS) in Nigeria. I have an MSc in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Entrepreneurship and Business Management from the National Open University of Nigeria, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Ekiti State University, Nigeria and a Higher National Diploma in Purchasing and Supply from Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Nigeria. I am a chief lecturer at Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Nigeria, and I was an Assistant Director of Entrepreneurship Education from 2013 to 2019. The acronym for the Youths Enterprise Development and Innovations Society is YEDIS. So, along the way, I will use YEDIS to discuss the organization. I founded YEDIS on 11 February 2020. So, the objective is to promote entrepreneurship education, youth employment, gender equality and community development. YEDIS operates in underserved communities.
YEDIS helps marginalized people, especially young people, primarily girls and young women. It is a grassroots nongovernmental organization. So, we understand the challenges facing the people in the rural community. That is why we introduced the NGO to help less privileged people. We introduce entrepreneurship education and digital literacy skills to explore innovation, encourage gender balance, and promote decent jobs and economic development.
So, those are some of the things that we do. Since 2020, we have carried out more than twenty-five social activities and empowerment programs.

Deloitte's 2015 press release discusses findings from the Millennial survey, including how businesses, particularly in developed markets, will need to change to attract and retain the future workforce.
Innovation and the earned brand study dutch resultsEdelman Amsterdam
Innovation and the EARNED BRAND is a global Edelman survey of consumer attitudes toward brand innovation. The online survey was fielded between April and May 2015 across 10,000 consumers in 10 countries, with additional qualitative research among millennials in 5 countries.
Our research shows that 87 percent of consumers will not buy a product or service because of their concerns about the risks that come with innovation. The study takes a deep dive into these consumer concerns, reveals four Earned Brand behaviors to address their needs around innovation and proposes a new model of marketing based on action, not messaging.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

World Cities” in The Dynamics of Entrepreneurship, M. Minniti, (ed.) 2011,

11. Entrepreneurship in urban contexts
The vast majority of cities exhibit more entrepreneurship than
the rest of their countries
WHY? (The answer has implicit policy implications)
Jacobs’ urban externalities
The more intensive local competition among firms is, the higher regional
economic growth. Heterogeneity, not specialization in sectoral-regional
clusters, is seen as the most important determinant of growth.
Agglomeration and technological change
Technological change is the most important factor in long-run macroeconomic
growth because of knowledge spillovers. Thus, spatial proximity is an
important factor in innovation is strongly supported in the literature.
Creativity and the ‘geography of talent’ hypothesis
Cultural and ethnic diversity attract creative and adaptable people. Adaptable
people are better equipped to recognize opportunities and to create a self-
enforcing intraregional process of economic growth.
12. Entrepreneurship and network externalities

externalities. Journal of Economic
Behavior and Organization.
13. So what promotes entrepreneurship?
- Entrepreneurship is influenced significantly by network externalities
- Cities are complex systems from which a variety of network
externalities emerge (more than in non-urban contexts)
- Externalities facilitate entrepreneurs’ ability to develop a
knowledge advantage
- Entrepreneurs are people who deviate from the norm
- Externalities may be positive or negative
- Governments can promote underlying conditions leading to
externalities conducive to productive entrepreneurship
- Governments don’t have a knowledge advantage
- Policies based on a incorrect understanding of the nature of
entrepreneurship are costly and have little if any effect on the
economy
• GOVERNMENTS CANNOT PICK WINNERS
14. To Sum Up:
- Entrepreneurship is a human universal
- Entrepreneurship is a necessary condition for growth
- Cities are more entrepreneurial than countries
- Cities are more entrepreneurial than countries because of
a web of network externalities
- Only positive externalities lead to productive
entrepreneurship
- Entrepreneurship is a bottom up phenomenon based
on specialized knowledge
- Entrepreneurship policies suffer from non-computability
issues
- Even local governments cannot pick winners
- Policies can promote productive entrepreneurship (as
opposed to other forms of entrepreneurship)
