https://hbr.org/2017/08/tesla-shows-how-traditional-business-metrics-are-outdated?utm_campaign=hbr&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

An interesting take on market penetration and market share and how these traditional metrics might be part of the problem for incumbents missing out on opportunities. Think about Kodak, Yahoo, and Friendster. It doesn't paint the whole picture but gives some things to think about.

"Transaction data tells you what people bought, not what they want — and sales are not the same as demand."

"Category creators are changing the world — and our metrics need to keep up."

The entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cameroon is changing.

Ye! Country Ambassador for Cameroon met with 12 years old Ismael, a young entrepreneur who has been into tailoring for over 1 year. Ismael is in the process to launch his clothing line “Mael Clothings”. Ismael currently blends African and Western fabrics to design clothes for kids and he has a kid model.

Though he is still under 16, Country Ambassador for Cameroon #DesmundEgbe is mentoring, coaching and providing Ismael with necessary support to boost his entrepreneurial journey.

How often should a business conduct risk assessment? How can a company measure risk? Risk is defined as a situation involving exposure to danger. The frequency of conducting risk assessment varies depending on the size and complexity of business. Also, risk has various components i.e. political risk, market risk, credit risk etc. The best approach is to layout the risks your business is facing into clearly identified categories. Most large companies use an "Enterprise Risk Management" (ERM) framework. Here is a link to that framework: https://www.coso.org/Documents/COSO-ERM-Executive-Summary.pdf
