Day 2 at #MWC2024 was another packed day of connecting with our strategic partners, exploring the latest tech innovations and collaborative opportunities. My focus today centered on three pivotal areas of GSSC-Global Sourcing and Supply Chain development: Empowering Rural Connectivity: Engaging with our partners to explore deployment of innovative network solutions in rural areas. Bridging the digital gap and 'connecting the unconnected' in Africa lies at the core of #MTN's believes. There is immense potential for unlocking connectivity in even the most remote and challenging terrains through collaborations with low earth orbit (LEO) operators.

#5G is set to connect 1.2 billion users by 2025, a third of the global population, fueling a tech-first digital economy. Its success, however, depends on global collaboration and equitable governance to create a sustainable, beneficial ecosystem. My KPMG US colleague, Huntley Bakich, had the privilege of attending the prestigious Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month and previewed the keynote, Open Gateway - The Art of What’s Possible. Huntley emphasized the importance of connections and access. Connecting the enterprise - across the front, middle, and back offices of telcos - is critical to improving access to data and content and enabling the Open Gateway initiative.

That moment when Peter Van Hende grabs his laptop and furiously throws it four meters away <3 I confess, I'd been in my thoughts for about ten minutes, disconnected from what was happening/saying on stage. Suddenly, Peter had my full attention. The whole room froze, back in the “here and now”. We had eyes and ears only for him. What a wonderful way to illustrate one of the four pillars of Think Possible, Proximus corporate culture: “I Make a Difference”. What does “making a difference” mean for a company? Is it making noise? Is it doing something nobody expects? Is it being disruptive? And what about all of us, human beings? How can we make a difference as individuals? And if everyone and every company starts trying to stand out from the crowd, to make a difference at all costs, aren't we heading straight for monumental chaos where, in the end, no difference (or message) will be clearly identified? Until now, my favorite pillar of Think Possible was “I Care”. That's what motivated me to become Think Possible influencer. That, and Pauline Dubuisson's persuasive power ;) Today, since Peter's brilliantly nihilistic and impactful demonstration, the “I Make a Difference” pillar has become a real source of daily reflection. Jan Van Acoleyen, Human Capital Leader at Proximus Group, shared with us that every day, on his way home after a day's work, he asked himself the introspective question of how he had made a difference. What if I asked you the same question, right now: today, have you made a difference? And if so, how? #proximus #corporateculture #thinkpossible #makeadifference #nocomputerwasharmeddisclaimer
