TIME-AND-EFFORT VS RESULTS ECONOMY

Some claim to be different and they are so obsessed with been “different” that they begin to do JUST everything “differently” and most often, wrongly.As too much of everything is not good, so can too much of zeal, push and […]
FROM DIRECTOR TO DISILLUSIONED: MY GNLD LESSON

HOMEGROWN SOLUTIONS: WHY IMPORTED FRAMEWORKS DON’T ALWAYS WORK IN AFRICA

Methodologies like Scrum are great but I often think most of the concepts are not directly suitable for our work.What we need to understand is that some people also created these solutions to their own problems and if we will be using them, […]
