@bucuracuriro Did @KFCinUganda ?

@DanOder0 GE is already doing monitoring station for the Kenyan national grid and working on other projects. Their East African CEO is sharp and focused.

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

Curious: What American franchise would you like to see in East Africa?

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@DanOder0 Had GE there (at least in UG). Things got messy and they walked away and let the deal lapse

Anyone know of a mobile app (Android) that will record and export calls and text messaging and send them to an email address automatically?

@Korn_Ferry Nothing changes because systems are set up and running

@beewol Read a few of the biographies/autobiographies of Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, US nation founders.

The common theme: Organize and don't be fearful of paying the ultimate price for what you believe in.

250 years ago, we kicked those pesky British out.

The countries I had previously worked with - they invested in the thought process full-on. And are really starting to reap the rewards of detailed techno-economic strategic development.

If you are interested in best practice, look at the South Korea 2045 National Development Strategy and its subsidiary 2045 Science and Technology Frontier Strategy Techno economic planning at its best.

@PeshK319 @iFortknox Worse.

One Minister-level paraphrase quote: "Just share what they did in X country and we'll just modify it internally"

That's not how techno-economic development works.

I'm usually less focused when I leave somewhere - having eaten food or went shopping - probably with kids.

So, much easier to get into an accident backing out, then driving out forward

Why do people reverse into parking spaces?

At first it was one or two misdirected fools, now it's spreading like a disease.

It makes no sense. You are only making it so much harder for yourself, and everyone hates you as you block the road trying to get into the space.

@benj_amin11 @AppelezmoiKizza The URA wants to become familiar with their payments in order to enforce taxation.

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@Pariyodan07 GM is/was already there. Down on Old Port Bell Rd.

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@TheNobodyG They were already there. Game is Walmart's brand.

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

7-11 would be an interesting one. They have a lot of self-branded goods and I wonder how that would work. They do allow a LOT of localization in international markets.

Chick-fil-A: Same challenge on restaurants I mentioned before. Just the lack of high quality value chains in East Africa make it extremely difficult to put together a franchise model without dealing with regulatory and taxation authorities.

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@uginm102 Of course

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@benj_amin11 Electronic transfer

[Mike Davis @MichaelDDavisJr]

@uginm102 They have a dealership in TZ already
