Highlights from the conversation:Purpose defines what you do when nobody's looking. Unfortunately, we're seeing a lot of posturing and gesturingWhat I've seen in the last three years is an obsession with the startup culture. On the other end of the pendulum, you've got an obsession with people who can now globalise and take their brands beyond national boundaries, but there's this missing middle. The narrative of business is growth, you know — you need to keep growing. And I think there's a very interesting conversation that I've started to hear of people going — well, what if we didn't need to grow? You know, what if we needed to grow to a certain size, and then that was okay, like that's enough?If we started measuring the profitability of purpose-led brands at a level which is at the scale of the JSE then you would start seeing businesses take this stuff seriouslyThe data is there that shows how, if we truly can support the efforts of female entrepreneurs, we can see the parallel effects and the growth of communities and families.The persuasion that is still left, and particularly in this country: One is to reverse businesses' obsession with hiring CAs as CEOs. Two is having brand builders on board, because if you don't have the voice of the consumer represented at board level, then you're just speaking to each other about beans and numbers More about SizakeleStrategist and creative problem solver Sizakele Marutlulle has over 23 years’ experience in leadership, business architecture, brand building, innovation and people development.

Chatbots im E-Commerce das ist das Thema dieser Podcast Folge. Sophie Hundertmark interviewt Sven Engelmann von OMQ zu seinen Erfahrung von grossen Chatbot Projekten im E-Commerce.Das spannendste an dieser Folge ist das 100% Projekt. Aber dazu muss man wirklich die Folge hören ;-)
Ach du lieber Bot! Wenn es um Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) geht, denken viele gleich an Roboterapokalypse und den Untergang der Menschheit. Davon sind wir weit entfernt, sagt Sven Engelmann, Geschäftsführer des KI-Unternehmens OMQ. Die allermeisten Formen der KI sind nämlich ganz und gar nicht gruselig – sondern nützlich. Er entwickelt bei OMQ intelligente Chatbot-Systeme, die uns das Leben leichter machen. Und uns nicht an den Kragen wollen, versprochen!
More about Mike Mike Stopforth is an entrepreneur, writer and speaker. He is particularly passionate about transformational leadership and organisational change, and enjoys helping fellow business owners, executive teams and CEOs get the best out of their people, especially in the midst of rapid political, environmental and socio-economic change. In this line of work he is often invited to offer business commentary for industry publications, on TV and on radio. In 2006, after a short and colourful career in sales (that included peddling welding machines and earth-moving machinery spares), he took the entrepreneurial plunge and started a company called Cerebra. With a specialist focus on digital content and engagement, Cerebra won numerous multinational accounts and grew quickly to become South Africa’s leading social media agency. In his role as CEO of the business, he had the privilege of working with Coca-Cola, Samsung, Toyota, Vodafone, AB InBev, Google, Ford, Huawei, Barclays, and many other remarkable brands. Cerebra was acquired by global advertising giant WPP in 2013. In 2007, Mike co-founded a web start-up called Afrigator.com that was acquired by Naspers just 18 months later. Around the same time, he began hosting a popular networking event called the 27dinners, which went on to catalyse business collaborations and relationships through hundreds of successful events.
