Welcome to the Wait & Speak Podcast, hosted by Dr Requier Wait. We explore what makes strategy "stick" by bridging the gap between academic rigor and operational reality.
While robust strategy formulation is the foundation, the real challenge lies in execution - where boardroom slide decks must transform into organisational behaviour. In each episode, we interrogate the ideas, choices, and practices that turn strategy into measurable impact.
Join us for conversations with global thinkers, business leaders, and C-suite operators as we distil actionable insights for the modern organisation.
Strategic Clarity. Systemic Impact. Built for leaders ready to make it stick.

In this episode I speak with Prof. Wim Naudé. Wim is an economist active in academia, business and public policy making. His focus is on innovation, technology and trade, and their consequences for human well-being, security, and prosperity. According to the Stanford and Elsevier rankings (version 5) Wim is among the top 2% of scientists in the world.
We discussed his recent research paper on late industrialisation and global value chains (GVCs)* under platform capitalism. Keywords: Digitisation · Digital platforms · GVCs · Industrialisation · Competition policy.
* A global value chain (GVC) is the series of stages in the production of a product or service for sale to consumers. Each stage adds value, and at least two stages are in different countries.” (World Bank, 2020:17)
