Innovation series (Part 4)
__Every crisis should result in an innovation explosion from entrepreneurs

“Who is the best person you want around you in the midst of a crisis?”

In a book about the founder of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, there is a funny comment made by someone about him which goes something like this:

“If you leave Sam Altman on an island full of cannibals, he will manage to convince them not just to spare his life, but also to be their leader!”

Jokes aside, this is just to say that there are people who have a knack for turning even the worst crisis into an opportunity. Whatever you think about Sam Altman, whom I have met several times, he is an amazing entrepreneur.

I have my own favourite entrepreneur’s mantra which you all know by now: “We work IN the conditions, not against them.”

Take this fuel crisis caused by war in Iran. Oil is the feedstock for transportation, fertilisers, and plastics, to name just a few things. If you push up its price, everything else goes up!

The whole world, particularly the poor nations, is facing a total tsunami of inflationary pressures. And in many instances, the tsunami has not yet even arrived fully.

Are you taking steps to ensure that your business is not washed away when it does fully hit the shores of your economy? You should already be on the move, carefully assessing the potential impact and how to mitigate it.

For you as an entrepreneur, it is a waste of time simply to complain or vent on every social media platform you can find. Does this pay the bills or help you meet the payroll?

Instead turn your attention to look at opportunities created by the crisis. I do not mean opportunities to exploit others, but innovative opportunities to develop or pivot your business for growth. And also reach out and meet a human [or environmental] need with your innovative .

Let me give you one example: In our mobile business, like any other mobile businesses in Africa, we consume millions of litres of diesel every month to keep the networks operating. So we are one of the worst affected right now.

If we reduce diesel usage, we degrade network quality dramatically. If we pay those prices, then it would blow away our profitability and ability to meet network expansion requirements.

So what do we do? There are short term things we can do, and there are long-term solutions. We got this!

But what about you? What are the challenges you face today? What are you doing to head them off?

Now I don’t expect you to tell us the details on this platform please. No. I just want you to quietly, efficiently, and urgently address them. And when you have addressed them, then how do you become "King of the Cannibals" in this challenge that threatens to eat you and your business alive?

- You will not be spared by sitting and doing nothing.

Our founder has a special gift for you. It’s a book not written at the mountain top. It’s written in the middle of a fog. For people like us trying to be the best we can be and hoping no body finds out we are just figuring it out.

The quagmire comes for all of us.

This is a book that encourages you though those tough times when everyone expects you to know what to do.
