But be careful about alienating traditional IT services because it is very easy for CD solutions to go rogue. CD is a part of shadow IT and if not managed properly it can cause more harm than good in the long term. Have a look at https://www.projectmanagement.com/videos/5...and-IT-Strategy
Yes, noted Anton Oosthuizen. I will definitely keep this in mind.

Great,

I already got my Canadian passport ready and Airfrance ticket so I am ready to fly out. I left Africa 30 years ago and I never step in back so this is my first time coming back but in Mauritius instead of DRC Congo.

J'ai déjà préparé mon passeport canadien et mon billet d'avion, je suis donc prêt à partir. J'ai quitté l'Afrique il y a 30 ans et je n'y suis jamais retourné. C'est donc la première fois que j'y retourne, mais à l'île Maurice plutôt qu'en RDC.

Hi Ghislain Nkulu,

Thanks a lot for your comment. Much appreciated. I will be happy to have a chat with you when you will be in Mauritius. Looking forward for it.
Cedric,

Sorry I was not able to find time to even communicate. I really apologiaze for this. I was staying just at the beginning of the Trou d"Eau Douce and I realize that 3 weeks was not enough to do everything that I wanted to do and places I wanted to visit. I am planning a come back again at the end of the year and this time I will have more time to chat.

Once again, I apologiaze for the inconvenience.

As a consultant looking to offer citizen development (CD) services to businesses, here are a few steps to get started:

1. Understand Citizen Development: Familiarize yourself with the concept of citizen development and its potential benefits for businesses. Gain knowledge about the different tools and platforms available for citizen developers.

2. Identify Target Clients: Define the types of businesses or industries that could benefit from CD services. Consider small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), departments within larger organizations, or businesses with specific needs such as process automation.

3. Assess Existing Processes: Analyze your potential clients' current processes and workflows. Identify pain points and areas where CD can potentially improve efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, or enhance data management.

4. Offer Workshops and Training: Develop workshops and training programs to introduce CD to potential clients. Offer sessions that explain the benefits, principles, and best practices of CD. Provide hands-on training with relevant tools or platforms, empowering individuals within the organization to become citizen developers.

5. Create Custom Solutions: Collaborate with clients to identify specific areas where CD can provide value. Work closely with individuals in the organization to create custom applications, automate processes, or develop dashboards using CD tools. Provide guidance and oversight to ensure proper governance, data security, and quality control.

6. Support and Maintain Applications: As CD gains momentum within the organization, offer ongoing support and maintenance for the citizen-developed applications. Provide consultation and assistance whenever issues arise and help optimize or scale the applications as necessary.

7. Scale Citizen Development: Foster a culture of citizen development within the organization by encouraging and supporting employees to become citizen developers themselves. Help the organization establish a framework for CD governance and collaboration.

8. Maintain Expertise: Stay updated with the latest CD trends, tools, and platforms. Attend conferences, join online communities, and engage in continuous learning to enhance your expertise in citizen development.

Remember, the success of offering CD services lies in understanding each client's unique requirements and tailoring solutions accordingly. As a consultant, your role is to guide and empower individuals within the organization to leverage CD effectively and drive business success.
