In a world of fast-moving technology and inflated buzzwords, what does innovation actually look like when it’s grounded in value, not vanity?

In this episode, I sit down with Tertius Zitzke , founder and CEO of 4Sight Holdings Limited , a JSE-listed tech company pioneering digital transformation across sectors in Africa. With over 31 years in the ICT sector and executive training from the MIT Sloan School of Management, Tertius brings both experience and continuous learning into how we reimagine business intelligence and operational technology.

He calls innovation “brilliant basics” because true transformation doesn’t start with complexity, it starts with clarity. At the heart of 4Sight’s work is a philosophy of integration: aligning people, processes, and platforms to future-proof businesses in a fast-evolving digital economy.

We talk AI and the true test of meaningful innovation.
