I often share my thoughts on how leaders and organizations can leap forward and lead others into the future. Sometimes the examples come not from business, but from government, and in this case, perhaps an unlikely one.
Rwanda, a small country in Africa that barely survived a horrific genocide that decimated it in 1994, planted some of the seeds of recovery via cutting-edge technology. For example, starting in their capital city, Kigali, they are deploying a fully-integrated electronic information system that will replace all existing traffic management processes from drivers’ license tests to traffic fines. You’ll actually be encouraged to electronically pay the fine to the police officer issuing a citation right after you’re caught speeding!
