Why do so many small businesses die within their first two years? It’s not usually because they lack passion, and it’s certainly not because they lack a logo. It is because they want the “blow”—the viral fame and the instant sales—without the build. Last week at the Digital Marketers Conference, I sat on a panel […] The post Personal

A freight train is the classic image of structural inertia: once it’s moving, its mass and design make it hard to stop or change course quickly. The idea describes large, established firms having “structural inertia” qualities (bureaucracy, heavy capital investments, fixed routines) that make rapid change difficult. As Michael Hannan and John Freeman put it […] The post The

The Obuasi Trade Show Consortium, organiser of the annual Obuasi Trade Show, has announced that this year’s edition will be one of the most exciting since the event began in 2019.

By Desmond ISRAEL Esq. Trust is the currency of the digital age — but like any currency, it can be manipulated, inflated, or devalued. In the growing tension between data collection and civil liberties, between digital governance and digital control, a darker reality is emerging: the quiet rise of data dictatorship. This isn’t just a […] The post ICT

They play crucial roles, lasting beyond individual dealings, and although they are the least strategies to be considered by many, relationships and gratitude have proven to improve business success and cannot be ignored.

The strain created by rapid urban growth demands bold and immediate interventions to bridge the mounting housing shortfall, now estimated at more than two million units. This has intensified pressure on government to rethink how the sector is regulated and financed. The Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA)  president, Dr. James Orleans-Lindsay, is therefore calling […] The post Editorial:

By Ama Amissah WUJANGI If Detty December had a passport, it would have ‘Ghana’ stamped in it every year. From Accra to Kumasi to Takoradi, from rooftop day parties to all-night raves, from concerts to brunches to the infamous beach hangs where nobody ever wants to go home, Detty December has become a national mood.

By Eric DOMIE Living long enough to see your children graduate from university is one of the greatest dreams any parent can have. Yet many families fail to achieve this dream—not because they lack commitment or resources, but because they fail to plan early and intentionally. Every parent wants to witness their child walking across […] The post What should i do

What if the real competitive edge in 2026 is not technology, strategy, or even talent, but trust? It is an uncomfortable question for many leaders because trust is often treated as an invisible asset. People assume it is either naturally present or gradually earned. Yet in many Ghanaian organisations today, teams appear cooperative on the […] The post Insights

By Divine AKOTIA For decades, donor governments have struggled to translate development intent into tangible results in Ghana. Billions have been committed, feasibility studies commissioned, and high-level missions deployed—yet many interventions stall before execution. A recurring explanation is dependence on government-to-government (G2G) channels: a model that assumes state systems are always ready, responsive, and aligned […] The post Board-Governed

Education must become the country’s most urgent national project in the next 10 years. These are tough times in a nation’s life when its education system fails to turn out stellar performance, while politicians argue over the obvious.

If you’re searching for a book to enjoy over the festive holidays or to give as a gift, I’d recommend one of the most intriguing books I read this year: Ray Dalio’s “How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle.” This book outlines how countries typically follow predictable borrowing patterns—accumulating excessive debt, implementing poor monetary policies, […] The post How do Countries Go Broke?
