The Headline Act | Turning the Tables on Trends with Bronwyn Williams

Loading player...
In this special edition of BizTrendsTV, Managing Editor Danette Breitenbach turns the spotlight onto one of South Africa’s most influential futurists and trend strategists — Bronwyn Williams.

After a year of interviewing industry leaders across the continent, Bronwyn steps into the hot seat to unpack the forces shaping Africa’s business landscape right now.

From the rise of AI and its practical implications for organisations, to the evolving future of money, crypto and digital currencies, Bronwyn brings sharp foresight and grounded economics to the big questions facing African decision-makers.
She explores where the continent is already leapfrogging global markets, which sectors are signalling early competitiveness, and why “Afro-optimism” is not a slogan, but a strategic stance.
The conversation dives into Flux Trends’ latest foresight signals, the barriers stopping organisations from acting on insight, and the increasing value of human creativity and cultural capital in an AI-accelerated world.
Bronwyn also reflects on the trends emerging faster than predicted, the skills African youth need right now, and her bold long-view predictions for the continent’s next decade.
Insight-rich, future-focused and distinctly African in its lens, this episode is essential viewing for leaders, marketers, innovators and anyone invested in Africa’s economic future.
