3 Localized Ideas for African Web Developers
There is a group of Kenyan techies, called Skunkworks, that talk on a Skype channel regularly. It’s an interesting mix of developers who share news and talk passionately about the potential of the web and mobile market in Kenya. In our conversation last week, the discussion of local content for specific regions kept popping up.

The importance of networking
This morning at 7.30am the Kenya ICT Board (www.ict.go.ke) held an open forum for the Kenya BPO & Contact Centre Society an umbrella organisation for all things outsourcing. I was to make a short presentation on some of the work we are doing on their portal, but I arrived a few minutes late so I wasn't slotted in, even though I was disappointed having worked on the powerpoint the previous night I opted to stay and hear what was to be said.

Why the Internet Matters in Africa
If anyone doubts the power of the internet in Africa, they need to look no further than what is happening in Kenya right now. Kenya is balanced on the precarious edge of a cliff that could quickly descend into even more riots, bloodshed and government heavy-handedness. The people I’m talking to via Skype/email tell me that there are gunshots going off as we type… This isn’t Zimbabwe (yet), but it is still bad.

Empowerment - Ten Tips to Avoid Micro Management
I deal with a lot of leaders that confuse delegation with empowerment. I am often told, "I don't micro manage, I empower my employees." However, when we start digging into specific situations, we often uncover the difference between delegation and empowerment. It is really not that difficult to ascertain the difference. Delegation is simply getting someone else to perform a specific task for you. "Tom, can you move these for pallets for me to make some room for a new shipment coming in tomorrow?" Empowerment sets a little higher expectation that encourages the employee to use their own creativity and innovation.

Employee Empowerment
Empowerment has nothing to do with fatuous statements like “Our people are our greatest asset”. Almost all companies who say such things treat their employees badly, keeping them constrained and confined in rigid roles, supported by limiting job descriptions and masses of bureaucracy. Yet, empowerment is a relatively simple process (in theory, if not in practice). here is a simple 6 step guide.
Leadership empowerment: what is it and how do you do it?
There is a significant amount of talk about the need to empower staff, but what do people mean by 'empowerment?' This article defines two different types of empowerment, and revealing the benefits. It also gives a quick snapshot of one way to implement it in the workplace.

Don't Become a Digital Dinosaur
Today's Internet means amateurs have more power than ever before. This is good news and bad news. The good news is that anybody can have their say. But the bad news is that anybody can have their say! If you still want to be "The Go To Guy/Gal" in your area of expertise, you'd better be out there, making a contribution. You can bet your life somebody is else doing it - on your turf, to your clients, in your market.
