Mark Wilson, MD SYSPRO Africa, a proud African, noted companies like Brookside<\/strong> Dairies<\/strong> are implementing SYSPRO – growing a small Kenyan dairy processing 5000 litres of milk per day to now processing an impressive 95 percent of Kenya’s milk, 750 000 litres – currently the largest in East Africa. Value and volume were realized from their supply chain by linking 95 percent small independent farmers and 5 percent large commercial ones. They joined the dots and reaped the reward.<\/p>\n Handling Disruption from Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n Mark also introduced Dion Chang, founder of FLUX Trends – self-confessed futurist and cage rattler.<\/p>\n Dion vividly painted pictures of digital disruption and how to survive. Here are a few make-you-think extracts that set the scene:<\/p>\n \u00a0 Disrupters include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pivoting – using Digital Disruption to morph the business you\u2019re in<\/strong><\/p>\n Interrogate what your business really is.
