Developing a Culture of Knowledge Exchange and Collaborations on the continent of Africa

“Interdependence is of greater value than independence” so says Stephen R. Covey in his best-selling book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” A culture that supports collaborations and profitable partnerships is another paradigm that must be developed. Culture is a way of life of a people and it takes many years for a culture to be shaped and for it to shape the lives of people born into it. We have always spoken about the need for people to develop a thirst for information, here it is discussed in the light of that thirst becoming a culture shared amongst people.
