RESEARCH
Our work is inspired by our belief in the power of innovation to address wide-spread poverty, non-consumption, exclusion, struggle, and inequality in Africa. Our philosophy and insights are anchored in the theories of innovation developed by the late Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, one of the most influential theorists of his generation.
“Good theory helps us understand ‘how’ and ‘why.’ It helps us make sense of how the world works and predict the consequences of our decisions and our actions.”
~ Clayton Christensen
Whenever possible, we will share what we learn by developing and disseminating fresh insights and knowledge. We hope our work inspires, educates, and catalyzes adoption and investment in market-creating innovation to realize growth and prosperity.
