Do remember to keep your eyes peeled mid-year when we will be revisiting all of these trends - should be interesting! In today's newsletter, Honore Gasa writes about how, despite the need for innovation and a history of getting it right, South African businesses are not innovating. She says that all too often South Africans leave innovation to the developed markets, choosing only to implement and localise global solutions. Social Media Week kicked off today in Lagos and a host of other cities around the world exploring the social, cultural and economic impact of social media. Finally, last week's Biz Takeouts podcast is now available. We hear from Conn Bertish, current ECD at Quirk and EFC Africa president, Cairo Howarth. Have a good one! Cheers!
