01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The Natural resources of South Africa and Africa remain untapped especially those the fall into the hands of the Africans and majority administered by govt entities, companies and communities who in most cases are the people that have the indigenous knowledge to use the natural resource for self subsistence but fail to expand to an economic level that contributes to the domestic growth product of the country and region and help alleviate socio-economic issues facing this continent. This is due to amongst other things the lack of access to information , support and resources. Through technologic and data I can build data driven decision support and advisory to can help improve optimisation and utilisation , planning and execution whilst reducing potential risks associated with owning and managing natural resource resources to enhance economic benefit and output.
