February 2022

For healthcare professionals across southern Africa, the past two years has been a whirlwind of pressure, expectation, failure, success, and international praise. With little time to think, as the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc across the world, those in healthcare had to react fast. Being nimble and accepting of change is often highlighted in Enterprise Africa as a trait of the best. This month, and this year, is no different and the importance of change remains vital. Highlighted by Kami Chetty at the NHLS, as the need for faster, more reliable, more efficient blood testing and subsequent delivery of results has arisen, the company has had to update technology and software to continue bringing the high standards it is known for.

In financial services, the same environment exists. Those that haven’t changed have struggled. For Carrick Wealth and Founder Craig Featherby, new products, new locations, new offerings, and new focus helped the company to support clients while repositioning for a new set of needs.

For Lynette Magasa and Boniswa Corporate Solutions, bridging the digital gap and providing improved connectivity has been a long-term strategy, but as the pandemic swept through the country, people started moving out of the cities, searching for a more rural setting. Boniswa had to shift and connect people where infrastructure is less advanced.

At Spinnaker Software – famed for its Arch Software product range – there is an expansion of services underway as the company looks to help its clients make the most of loyalty offerings, automation opportunities, and moves into new sectors.

‘If you don’t change you die’, and ‘the only certainty is change’. These two famous quotes have never been more apt. Right now, is a period of great adaptation, and those who don’t embrace are being left behind.
