Keynote Speech: Overcoming fear to take bold actions

The Gambia suffered decades of economic and social decline under the murderous dictator Yahya Jammeh. In 2016 the world (and Jammeh) was shocked to learn that Jammeh, who had subdued, jailed and killed political opponents, had lost the Presidential election. What was amazing about this development was the fact that Jammeh had presided over four other sham elections in which he had won an average of 70% of the vote while suppressing opposition. One of the architects of the 2016 surprise was Fatoumata J. Tambajang, a former UN executive and respected mother of eight, who later became the Vice-President of The Gambia. Citizens of The Gambia now have hope of a brighter future because of the courageous actions taken by H.E. Tambajang at a time when she could have been imprisoned and killed for her role in organizing the opposition. In her keynote address, H.E. Fatoumata Tambajang will share her experiences in overcoming fear to take bold actions that yield to bold results and inspire conference attendees to do the same for Africa to fulfill its true potential.

The Astonishing Ingredient of Amazing Teams

Bringing a disparate group of people together to achieve results that is better than the sum of the people’s individual talents is the mission of every team leader. From sports team captains to captains of industry, the ability to maximize the collective talents, resources, and energies of highly competent people can make or break an organization. In 2012, Google embarked on an initiative — code-named Project Aristotle — to study hundreds of Google’s teams and figure out why some stumbled while others soared. The results were surprising even to the seasoned Google executives. Wilben Short, a former executive of the London Underground and BAT who has developed amazing teams at each of those organizations, shares the astonishing ingredient of amazing teams in this learning lab and insights on how today’s tier one CEOs in Africa can leverage this knowledge to get the most out of their teams of highly accomplished executives in Africa.

Feeding Africa: Opportunities for Agricultural Investment in Africa

Africa has 60 percent of the world’s uncultivated arable land and its food and yet imports 12.6 million tons of milled rice valued at US$5.5 billion annually. Investment in agriculture in Africa has a checkered history and doing it successfully requires knowledge of the industry in Africa that is hardly ever documented and is often limited to a few multinationals with a long history of investments and disciplined internal documentation of their experiences. Karan Kapoor has spent decades supplying agricultural investors in East, Central and Southern Africa with pesticides and related services to make their agricultural investments bear optimal returns. In this learning lab, Mr. Kapoor will share his knowledge of how and where to invest successfully in agriculture in Africa.

Leading the Impossible Project: Malawi’s Covid-Era Elections

In May 2020, Justice Chifundo Kachale was given what many political pundits considered to be an impossible task: conduct a presidential election within ninety days in the midst of the Covid 19 crisis without international support. On 3 February 2020, the High Court of Malawi sitting on constitutional matters nullified the presidential election that was held on 21 May 2019 that had declared the incumbent President the winner. That decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of Appeal on 8 May 2020 and Kachale was appointed to Chair the Electoral Commission. Under Kachale’s leadership, Malawi made history in Africa on 27 June when the opposition candidate was announced victorious in the rerun presidential election. In this learning lab, Justice Kachale will share the bold actions that he took to preserve the electoral agency of every Malawian citizen through a fair electoral process despite tremendous pressure. This conversation is important to us because there are over 18 countries conducting elections in Africa in 2024 including Ghana, Mauritius, Mauritania, Mozambique, Botswana, Algeria, Rwanda and Chad.

The Diaspora has the potential to contribute greatly to the development of Africa. That is why the African Union wanted the Diaspora officially part of its proceedings. In 2003, at the end of the AU Summit, the Heads of State declared (14 (XVIII) add.3): “The African Union decides to recognize the African diaspora as an effective entity contributing to the economic and social development of the continent”.

The Diaspora are eager to come home to contribute. The private sector can play a leading role in accelerating the contributions of the diaspora. How can businesses and organizations tap into the diaspora?

Solving Kenya’s Largest Challenges

Speaker: Mr. Felix Kosgei
Venue: Victoria Ballroom

 

 

Solving Africa’s Largest Challenges

The phrase “African solutions to African problems” was coined by the Ghanaian economist George Ayittey in response to the crisis in Somalia in the early 1990s. His argument at the time was that “outside attempts to resolve African problems have regularly proven ineffective and even counterproductive” and that any “long-term solution to problems can come only from Africans themselves.”

Since then, however, the phrase has taken on a life of its own. It has been hotly debated in broader contexts, widely interpreted and continues to offer a framework through which to examine the continent’s problems and solutions. The notion has been picked up as a guiding principle of the African Union and has been used as a rallying cry by politicians across Africa.

 What does the phrase mean to you as a leader in Africa?

Which of Africa’s problems are you solving or looking to solve?

“Needs and Leads” is a facilitated round-table (or stand-up) session during which delegates, by turn, indicate a need that they have, and then other delegates who might have a lead to solve that need speak up and let the “need” delegate know that they have a lead. The delegate with the need notes the “lead” delegate and they will follow up after the session. There would be 5 round tables with at most 20 persons per table. Each table will have one of the following themes where needs would be directed towards; Finance/Banking/Investment, Recruitment/HR, Logistics/Transportation, Government/Public Sector Engagement and Sales/Customer Acquisition.

Cultural Transformations in an African organization

Strathmore University is an institution that has earned an enviable reputation of excellence and service quality in the tertiary and executive education. This reputation was earned through the establishment and nurturing of a particular culture in Strathmore that was different from the prevailing culture in many other tertiary institutions in East Africa. In this learning lab, Dr. Vincent Ogutu, the Vice-Chancellor of Strathmore, shares how this cultural transformation was achieved at Strathmore University. Registrants who attend this session will acquire strategies for effecting culture change in their organizations to achieve the kind of societal impact that Strathmore has achieved.

Leadership Transitions

Dr. Martin Oduor-Otieno is a maverick. He transformed KCB Bank from a national bank into a regional bank. He transitioned from being a private sector executive to becoming a Permanent Secretary serving in the public sector. He transitioned himself from Bank CEO to a founder/entrepreneur and executive coach, and he has transitioned himself into semi-retirement. Many leaders struggle with transitions and end up holding on too long or handling the transition poorly to the detriment of the organization they are leaving and eventually to the organization that they are moving onto. The experience of Dr. Oduor-Otieno and the resulting discussion in this learning lab will be priceless for any leader who is or needs to plan their next transition.

Leading from the Rear: Influencing National Transformation

The five-point Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) plan is the blueprint for development that President William Ruto’s administration is utilizing to turn around the country’s fortune and deliver inclusive growth. It is part of the Kenya Vision 2030 which is the long-term development blueprint for the country and is motivated by a collective aspiration for a better society by the year 2030. National Transformations require dedicated leaders at various levels of government to drive them to implementation. One of the quiet drivers of the BETA plan is Mrs. Mercy Wanjau, the Secretary to the Cabinet. She is a commercial lawyer, regulatory and governance expert who has worked in the private and public sectors, both at local and international levels. In this learning lab, Mrs Wanjau will share insights on her journey of leadership in the public sector where she has quietly influenced the national transformation plan and implementation. Registrants who attend this session will acquire insights into how to create a positive impact in public service.

Financial Inclusivity for Global Prosperity

Financial inclusivity is a crucial element for prosperity, enabling individuals and businesses to access essential financial services that meet their needs. Financial stability has been central to the IMF’s work during the past few decades. In more recent years, issues related to financial inclusion or access to finance have increasingly gained prominence in the global discussion of financial sector issues. Financial stability and financial inclusion are often considered to have conflicting goals, just as fighting inflation and maximizing growth are viewed to be at odds in a central bank’s objective function.

Corporate Governance Opportunities in Africa

When Charity C. Lumpa assumed her duties as the Chair of the Board of Zanaco Bank in 2015 the bank had just completed a disappointing year with earnings declining by 13% to 185 million Kwacha

High-profile corporate scandals globally have generated increased interest in corporate goveirnance. As companies in Africa are becoming international players in both operations and sourcing of capital, the need to meet listing requirements of foreign exchanges and appeal to international investors has elevated the importance of corporate governance in Africa.

In Africa, where governance challenges persist, there is a growing recognition of the importance of effective corporate governance in driving sustainable business practices and economic progress.

Book Coach

My great passion is to come alongside talented and engaged women and men and create a growth-accelerating environment for themselves and their stakeholders.

 

I am an accredited Organizational Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach and certified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). I have delivered extensive leadership coaching for both individuals, teams and groups in English and French. I am experienced in supporting organisations achieve their goals by providing advisory services and facilitating learning events (training, workshops, retreats…), both through face-to-face and online forums.

 

My work focuses on supporting leaders of international organisations in growing their talented women and men in a holistic manner. Many of my clients are working for mission-based, Pro-African organizations and operate in complex, high pressure environments. Staying productive and authentic in such settings while growing personally and professionally is a recuring challenge for my clients and one I am in a position to help them meet with confidence.

 

My career journey from junior contractor to global director in one of the world’s largest international humanitarian organisations (World Vision International), allows me to understand critical shifts that need to happen as employees move from individual contributor to manager, to leading other managers and, eventually, to leading through influence. Shifting perspectives, choosing what resources to draw from, seeing the wider system, dealing with organizational politics, thinking strategically while ensuring operational quality, dealing with different personalities, and producing results under pressure are complex demands with which I’m very familiar. I have supported my clients through challenges like these to successful outcomes.   

 

My background as a leader in Europe, Sub Sahara Africa and across continents qualifies me to help managers operating at strategic levels not to lose sight of operational realities. As managers become leaders, I encourage them to move from achieving results through direct management to achieving results through empowerment, delegation, influence and accountability. I understand the value of boards and partnerships, and work with leaders to identify ways that create, nurture, and leverage their collaborative relationships for mutual benefit.

 

Changing contexts, be they organizational, political, social or context-related require adaptability. I am experienced at coming alongside leaders to help them keep up with moving priorities and find appropriate responses during crisis situations. I train them to manage their and their team’s stress levels, to adapt to the new reality and to provide leadership that allows their team to emerge from the crisis stronger.

 

Having evolved as a female leader in a male dominated environment, I am committed to supporting organizations in promoting gender equity. Offering coaching as safe space and in a relationship of trust, puts women at ease to prepare for and adjust to the next level of their career. Frequently in coaching women in emerging demographics, we deal with self-imposed or learned gender-based limitations which can undermine confidence and compromise positive risk-taking. Gender equity means working with managers on deep systemic issues, to challenge biases and create a more inclusive work-place culture that fully values the potential of all members of the organization.

 

Throughout my career I have navigated the interplay of work and family life: raising three children, managing multiple moves, and adapting to new contexts. This personal experience offers a strong connection point with many clients who aim to expand their professional experience while honouring their commitments to their family. Exploring creative ways to rise to these challenges and finding new perspectives on the standards to which we hold ourselves accountable has produced transformative, empowering, and actionable insights for my clients.

 

I’m a German citizen who has lived and worked cross-culturally most of her life. I have a deep knowledge of West and Central Africa and have worked with colleagues and clients across all continents.

I understand the great potential diversity offers and the complexity it can create for individuals and organizations. I help people to increase their self-awareness, invite them to be curious and walk with them as they learn to navigate diversity with authenticity, insight, and skill. I also offer assessments of intercultural competencies to individuals and groups with a view to growing those competencies to support the realization of personal and organizational goals.

 

I enjoy coming alongside talented and motivated women and men who want to grow, as people and at work, to live an impactful life in this world.

 

If you’d like to know more about me, I invite you to visit my LinkedIn page and my website.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
