Organizational Behavior and Change Management

I would suggest that digitization and automation would play a vital role in this - this would surely enhance efficiency. Of-course while that is so, it would also derail on harnessing the demographic dividend due to jobs that would be deemed redundant (laid off) due to automation. At the end of the day, it is an issue of cost-benefit assessments, on what we are willing to let go to achieve the set goals.

SOUMTANG BIME Valentine, Cameroon, DES-P Thank you for raising this, your skepticism is not only valid, it’s necessary. Real reform must go beyond ambition to address implementation gaps, financial dependence, and deliver meaningful, lasting change especially for regions like ours or Moreso, the entire continent.

Being at ECA during this pivotal moment, I keep reflecting on what change readiness truly means. Do we, as institutions, have the systems, leadership, and collective will to act differently this time? I look forward to seeing how this journey unfolds and what role we can play in shaping it.

What if, we also looked at this from the funding angle, how about approaching prospective donors in a completely different way. Instead of going to a donor with our agenda, what if, we designed a fundraising strategy with an attribute of aligning our comparative advantage with the potential donor/funder. This may help us understand the donor's priorities, enable us brainstorm ideas that fit into the donor funding portfolio, and align our business case/concepts/proposals. Kindly, what are your thoughts?
