AN Information and Communication Technology (ICT) expert, Mr Sam Adesoga, on Monday urged organisations and business owners to embrace digital technology and capacity building to enhance business growth.

Adesoga, Principal coach, Valuehut limited, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) on Monday, in Lagos.

Adesoga said it was necessary to develop and strengthen the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that organisations need to survive and thrive in a fast-changing world of technology.

According to him, capacity building and technology with innovation would provide opportunities for organisations and young entrepreneurs to develop skills.

He said this was not only to grow their businesses but also to solve problems and positively impact the society.

“It is important to note that technology is a key driver of any country’s economy. It plays a significant role in solving many developmental challenges facing businesses and countries.

“Training is also necessary as many innovations have been affected by disruptive technology.

“For us in Valuehut, a lot of our work has gone beyond the tech to entire organisation, integrating business and technology as one unit.

“It means organisations need to train and retrain their employees for sustainability, growth and to make profit,” he said.

Adesoga, therefore, advised business owners to tap into the potentials of technology and move with the new trend in it to enhance success and improvement on their businesses.

He appealed to young entrepreneurs to explore technology and capacity building to be abreast with new innovations as key drivers in their businesses legitimately.

“Nigeria has only explored one per cent in the potential of technology but there is an opportunity to improve if more people are involved.

“Young entrepreneurs can progress in their businesses through technology, if fully tapped legitimately,” he said. (NAN)
