The future belongs to strategic thinkers – Dei-Tumi

Only strategic thinkers will be able to take charge and turn things around during times of uncertainties.

This is Human Capital International Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Dei-Tumi’s message preceding the 1st Kampala Strategic Leaders’ Summit happening on February 20th.

While addressing the media at a press conference this morning at Sheraton Hotel Kampala, Dei-Tumi said: “The need for quality leadership mind-set and the collaborative input of civil society, youth groups and other corporate bodies in the effort to transform the fortunes of businesses, governance and institutions in Africa has become extremely crucial.”

He added: It is in this context that the Strategic Leaders’ Summit is focusing on how to galvanize entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and government to understand the strategies for taking charge and turn things around during times of uncertainties. This will ensure that our next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs become resourceful and key players in building our nations.”

On her part, Annet Kihuguru, Executive Director EcoBank, the title sponsors of the Summit said: “We, as Eco Bank, envision a Uganda with shrewd innovators especially the youth who are able to harness skills and contribute to the development of the African continent.”

Godfrey Ivudria, Chief Executive Officer East African Business Week Digital, the team tasked with championing the event’s presence on social media, said: “Due to the digital disruptions, we are experiencing changing times where newspaper copy circulation is being replaced by the number of followers on social in order to determine reach.”
