Social Entrepreneurship

Experience and views on enterprise as a tool for social and economic change. I follow how these questions play out across Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, and how East African experience connects with ideas, investment and practice in Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and beyond.

From experience to a published view

The point is not to react faster. It is to understand better.

A thought can begin anywhere. The discipline is in what happens before it becomes a conclusion.

  1. 01
    Experience

    Notice what does not quite add up.

    A project, journey, conversation, success or contradiction creates the first question.

  2. 02
    Context

    Follow the system around it.

    Look at people, history, incentives, markets, institutions, land and infrastructure — not only the visible event.

  3. 03
    Evidence

    Pressure-test the first answer.

    Compare what experience suggests with data, trade-offs and credible competing explanations.

  4. 04
    View

    Publish clearly, then remain revisable.

    State the conclusion I can defend now and leave the door open for stronger evidence later.
