This article shows how Kodah is making African workplaces more innovative. They help teams work better together, be more productive, and stay aligned.
🔍 Understanding the Need for Workplace Innovation in Africa
African businesses face unique challenges:
- They use many digital tools that don’t work together
- Teams struggle to work together because they’re in silos
- Manual workflows slow down growth
- Foreign systems are often too expensive or inflexible
- There’s a lack of digital transformation support tailored for Africa
As businesses grow, they see the need for better systems, not just more people or software.
