For a Kenyan enterprise, the digital landscape is no longer an option – it’s a necessity to future-proof your business. The rapid pace of technological change, particularly accelerated by the events of 2020-2021, has fundamentally reshaped consumer and business behavior. This digital transformation presents both challenges and immense opportunities for future-proofing business.
Since its inception in 2019 as a group project at Strathmore University, Chief Web Services (CWS) has been committed to addressing the software-related challenges faced by enterprises. What began as a mission to help with software architecture, design, user training, and change management has evolved into a broader vision: driving digital transformation across Kenya.
At CWS, we understand the urgency for Kenyan businesses to adapt and are committed to closing the digital gap, ensuring they adapt, mitigate shocks, and strategically navigate the digital world.
The Problem: Facing the Digital Divide
A recent McKinsey Global Institute report highlights the stark reality: businesses that fail to embrace digital transformation risk extinction. Many Kenyan enterprises, like those across Africa, are at risk of extinction due to the rapid technological takeover. Technology has disrupted numerous industries, and the survivors will be those who adopt it strategically and sustainably. The challenge isn’t a lack of willingness to embrace technology but rather a shortage of resources, particularly skilled human resources and expertise.
At CWS, we are committed to bridging this digital gap, ensuring that it doesn’t widen further. Our focus on enterprises is intentional; these businesses generate income, create meaningful employment, and support the broader objectives of their communities. By enabling enterprises, we create a ripple effect of positive impact.
