The sooner Pakistan embraces remote work, the better. We are already on the verge of economic collapse, and companies still insist for onsite work. Atleast the tech industry needs to realize this. Other industries might have no option but to work onsite but not tech. Its just a pc that you need, everything else can save you money and time. Its my humble request to companies. Don't waste the youth like this. Pakistan is full of talent and this on-site culture might also be one of the factors of the massive brain-drain we are seeing right now! #remotework #braindrain #economicdevelopment #tech #techcareers PS: This is just a rant, by and for introverts! 😁

We have observed that the digital divide is a major challenge for businesses in Ethiopia. 💥 Many businesses still struggle with access and skills. 👩🏽💻 What do we mean by that❓ Even though Safaricom has entered the market, and Ethio-Tele insists on providing better services and access, many of their customers still lack reliable, high-speed internet. 🌐 It is true to say that sometimes it is the companies themselves that do not understand that internet has become essential in this time and age. They do not provide the infrastructure. 🛜 However, internet in Ethiopia is not as affordable as it should be. Hence, not every business has internet access. ‼️ If a business decides to set up internet for all their branches and decides to buy an economic internet router, then in most cases, it is not a good one. ⚠️ The cost of purchasing and maintaining digital tools can restrict many businesses, especially smaller ones. 💸 If they come over this hurdle though and they set up the internet in all their offices, there is the other main issue at hand AKA unskilled employees. 👩🏽💻 Unfortunately, in Ethiopia in many companies, digital platforms are seen as something very complicated. Something that can create great havoc that can be undone. A big monster that will take away all our data and expose the company. 🐲 There is a knowledge gap. Training is essential. Employees need to be able to trust digital systems and trust themselves with it. They should be empowered. 🔋 This will ease the process of transitioning to digital solutions. 📲 It is a well-known international fact that improving digital literacy and infrastructure will lead to more efficient operations, better customer reach, and higher growth potential. It has been proven time and time again. 🚀 Businesses that adapt quickly can gain a competitive edge in an increasingly digital world. Even in Ethiopia💯 #DigitalDivide #TechForGrowth #DigitalTransformation #BusinessGrowth #DigitalSkills #BridgingTheGap

An Observation About Digital Adoption in Ethiopian SMEs 🔍 While some businesses wholeheartedly embrace technology, others remain hesitant. Ethiopia's booming business landscape is experiencing uneven digital adoption. Here's what we've observed: SMEs: Young managers in SMEs are leading the pack. They utilize digital tools for everything from inventory management to customer engagement, actively seeking them out on app stores, Google, or wherever they might be found. They understand the digital world and are unwilling to miss out on its benefits by staying local. They readily research and invest in solutions from local software vendors. Large Corps: Large businesses often struggle with limited internet access, lack of training, and especially resistance to change. These companies have a large number of semi-skilled employees who they fear will resist the transition. They may also lack workplace internet due to past lack of necessity. New government policies,competitor digital presence, or other external forces may convince them to adopt digital solutions. However, we have noticed that their organisation structure can make swift changes or decisions difficult. Additionally, cybersecurity concerns and a lack of understanding about online business operations hinder them. However, it is important to note that some SMEs also face the challenges mentioned for large corporations. Inflation and unrest in certain areas of the country can also make businesses hesitate to spend money on digital tools, since they don't see them as absolutely necessary. #digitalization #ethiopianbusiness #SMEs

📢Did you know that in Canada, based on the survey in 2021, only one in 20 SMEs efficiently use digital technologies? 📉 This stark statistic highlights a significant gap in the competitive edge of many small and medium-sized businesses. ( source https://lnkd.in/d32YfNN8) To address this, the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) was launched in 2022 with a budget of CA$ 4 billion. However, the program closed this year, fully subscribed but with a reduced budget of CA$ 1.4 billion. (source https://lnkd.in/dpKCcphS) While collaboration skills combined with technology are considered the most valuable by businesses today and over the next five years, only 19% of Canadians rate themselves as “advanced” in these areas. (source https://lnkd.in/dm9Y2Z3u) It’s clear: improving the effective usage of technologies isn't easy when digital skills are lacking. One of the available solutions to improve new skills are Digital Adoption Platforms.
