DigiLexis - About Us

Who We Are & What We Do

At DIGILEXIS, our core business revolves around Digital Transformation, stemming from our foundational experiences with the inception of ICT among the general public in the world and in Africa. Our journey began with involvement in the Multipurpose Community Telecenters movement in the mid-1990s, collaborating with esteemed organizations such as UNESCO, ITU, IDRC, and UNECA during the initial seven years of our professional trajectory. As programs aimed at integrating Africa into the field of what was then termed the New ICTs gained traction within the international development community, that domain of program came to be labeled ICT4D, capping the dominant belief back then that ICT will enable Africa to leapfrog its way to development.

Additionally, DIGILEXIS has evolved to encompass the fields of Management, as well as Design & Advertising. Today, we operate as both a consulting business and as a creative and advertising agency, offering comprehensive services tailored to the diverse needs of our clients.

As a consulting business, DIGILEXIS leverages a multidisciplinary network of experts, consultants, researchers, and professionals worldwide in key subject areas related to ICTs and Management.

On the management front, we specialize in a set of tools and methods related to Agile Management, specifically focusing on the approach known as "Management 3.0." This approach aims to transform relationships and practices within organizations.

In terms of technology, "Internet & Society" defines broadly and yet accurately the scope of the field in which we operate and the perspective from which we deliver value to our clients and other stakeholders.

Word of founding

The digital revolution is still unfolding. It will not be complete until we, the users, guided by universally accepted standards, can ably use digital tools to articulate and communicate a broad range of our human experiences, including our nuanced understandings of the world; to establish the basis for enabling the enforcement of rights and obligations in the context of our digital interactions and deeds; and to archive and retrieve all of those digital resources. Just as generations of past eras wielded pen and paper (or variations of such) to convey a multitude of thoughts and emotions, with or without words, tomorrow's literates, including the ones whose abilities are based on a form of non-verbal expression, must be able to accomplish the same thing without difficulty, using digital platforms and media. This transformation will take place as basic education seamlessly evolves toward full digital “literacy.” However, truly achieving this paradigm shift requires more than just technical prowess; this demands adequate inclusive policies, involving active engagement of the affected communities and the users, to chart the optimal path forward.
