    The leadership dilemma? Frustrations of doing business in Uganda, part 2

    May 16, 2020 / No Comments

    The biggest challenge to business in Uganda is the tendency of senior managers to want to do the day-to-day work. We call it the leadership dilemma. This is not about paying attention to the details that matter. It is micromanaging and it sacks. In the process, this obscures the big picture — of furthering top leadership mandate to think long-term by focusing on technology investments and the customer. Great leaders micro-monitor instead of micro-managing. You do not ask someone to do something and then show them how to do it and be breathing instructions on their throat all the time…

    Who cares? The frustrations of doing business in Uganda, part 1

    May 16, 2020 / No Comments

    Uganda has many enterprising people, but few successful businesses. Why? If anything explains the high poverty levels in many parts of the country, it is not an unwillingness to work hard—most Ugandans still sweat to survive. Nor is it because of a lack of enterprise and optimism: on the permanently traffic-jammed streets of Kampala, the country’s main commercial city, hawkers gingerly ease their way between cars trying to sell almost anything from snacks to books, car parts, carpets, shoes, and even toilet paper. They do the right things – wake up early. Work 365 days a year. Do your best.…

    My take on the proposal to require NSSF to pay 20% to members

    May 13, 2020 / No Comments

    Download a copy of this article: On 12th May 2020, I received a rare call from one of the bank executives. He wanted to ‘pick my mind’ about the NSSF’s briefing to the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development over the implications of the proposal to require NSSF to pay 20% to members. According to NSSF, the proposal has implications that could distress the NSSF as a retirement scheme and the economy. My take is NSSF should pay highly affected members first, gradually pay other members. Below, I show how this is possible. The objective of saving is to…

    Centenary Bank Chief on the future of banking

    May 12, 2020 / No Comments

    Whatever innovations in jazzy products that come, they must be in a context where people’s money is safe and people have confidence that it is safe”, Dr Simon Kagugube, Acting Managing Director of CERUDEB. [Note: This article was first published in Summit Business August 2009 issue.] The recent entry of many international banks into the Ugandan market has created stiff competition in the industry and brought in a wave of innovative products. Banks are increasingly looking for a competitive edge through innovation, cost-cutting, and mass marketing. Mustapha Bernabas Mugisa met with Dr. Simon Kagugube, the Acting Managing Director of Centenary…
