Drawing on history, real-world business examples, and the latest developments in AI, she explains why human insight, context, and what she calls "thick data" are becoming more valuable (and not less) in the age of AI.

Today we break down the profound shift confronting investment promotion agencies as the U.S. withdraws from dozens of international institutions and dismantles programs like the United States Agency for International Development.

For governments and economic development organizations around the world, the message is clear: the old model is gone.

In this discussion she elucidates Rwanda’s case as the best place to do business in Africa. Charlotte is charged with promoting the GBS (Global Business Services) sector in the country.

The Rwanda GBS Growth Initiative partners with other organizations such as the Rwanda Development Board, GiZ, Harambee, the Mastercard Foundation, and Carnegie Mellon University—which now has a campus in Rwanda—to promote Rwanda’s unique set of advantages to the world. These include attributes such as:

Deductions on corporate income tax
No restrictions on foreign ownership
#2 in Africa, #38 globally in terms of ease of doing business
Business registration takes less than 1 day
LOW crime, “2nd safest country in the world” for lack of violent & property crimes
95% 4G LTE coverage and 7,000 km of fiber optic connectivity
Ecological commitment to protect the country’s natural resources
English native with strong French
Very low labor costs

Rwanda’s relatively small size with a population of about 13.7 million, is actually an advantage for emerging outsourcers, as the government has the critical mass of talent to provide an adequate labor pool, but emerging and specialty outsourcing firms with small to medium-sized operations still receive enthusiastic government attention and support.We met during CCI Global’s grand opening of their 5,000 seat contact center in Nairobi, Kenya’s Tatu City business park, though CCI has already invested in Rwanda with a contact center that opened over a year ago. Along with global players like CCI Global, TTec and Tek Experts/TeKnowledge (doing enterprise IT-support from Kigali!) Rwanda has home-grown players such as WEC Outsourcing led by Dr. Innocent Rusagara. Like Kenya, Rwanda’s official language of business and government is English, though there is ample French and German language talent available, as well as local languages. The country takes developing local talent seriously, through tertiary education such as universities, or technical training such as Kigali-based Weclearn, with an additional campus in Nyamata, outside of the capital.Led by Martin Roe, CCI Global is an example of a company that champions African talent with over 15,000 customer and technical service seats on the continent serving corporate clients in North America and Europe while providing professional growth opportunities and life-changing employment in the countries where it operates. As a growing multinational enterprise, CCI actively partners with government initiatives and the nonprofit sector to scale up opportunities in a way that maximizes positive impact in the communities where it has a presence.

Bring in aviation people – not just people in the aviation industry, but people passionate about aviation. Tap the likes of Lockheed Martin, or Northrup Grumman.

Tech companies must be driven by engineering excellence, product quality, and innovation, not financial shenanigans designed to manipulate stock prices, so analyst and financial media writes nice things about you. That is what destroyed General Electric. Intel is an example of a company losing its way when the visionary technical founders were replaced by financial engineers.

Apple has no new products since cofounder Steve Jobs died. Maybe this Apple Vision Pro counts as one, but it’s still too early to tell if it’s anything more than a gimmick. Rather than build a new aircraft, Boeing jerry-rigged its old 737 platform to peddle it as something new, with deadly results.

In Michael Treacy’s “The Discipline of Market Leaders,” he lays out why great companies must be excellent in either operations, innovation, or customer intimacy; and at least competent in all three. Boeing clearly fails in both operations and innovation.
