Insights
Decision Intelligence
Generative AI has made a convincing bank statement, invoice or certificate cheap to produce. Lending and investing were built on documents. What replaces them is not better documents, but proof of where a fact came from.
Investment & Capital
Investors say they want exposure to growing African businesses. Those businesses say they cannot find capital. Both are telling the truth. The obstacle between them is the cost of finding out.
Leadership & Governance
The qualities that build a business to its first success are often the ones that stop it reaching its second. A generation of founder-led companies is approaching that point at the same time.
