Safaricom Innovation Board Members Nomination Opportunities
Over the years Safaricom, has built a solid reputation as a company whose success hinges significantly on a culture of constant innovation to address growing customer needs. The recent expansion of our data network has opened up greater opportunities to drive innovation.As a company, we have in the past made several attempts to include the local community in innovation principally through The Safaricom Innovation Forum. Even then, initial learning gained from wide consultation with the ICT community in Kenya is that there is great scope for improving and expanding these initiatives. This is out of the realization that Safaricom is a key stakeholder in the building of an established and active community of innovators and a culture of innovation in this country and beyond.
Having considered carefully representations and suggestions from the ICT Community, we are actively pursuing the creation of a Safaricom Innovation Board comprising representatives from the public - and in particular direct stakeholders in innovation.
We invite you to nominate individuals whom you feel we should consider inviting onto this board by filling the form and telling us about them. Nomination is open to individuals who have shown leadership in the ICT arena and who have a sharp grasp of the country’s needs and how technology can best be harnessed to address these.
Closing Date: 17th August 2010
