Ideas, analysis, and frameworks
We share what we're learning — about data protection, AI governance, regulation, transformation, and what it actually takes to build trusted data foundations in emerging markets.
Six topic areas. All grounded in practice.
Assegai Insights is written by practitioners — people who spend their weeks inside real data protection programmes, AI governance projects, and data strategy engagements. Everything published here is grounded in delivery experience, not theoretical research.
Data Protection & Compliance
Practical guidance on Zimbabwe's Cyber and Data Protection Act (CDPA), GDPR obligations for African organisations, DPO responsibilities, and building compliance programmes that actually hold up.
AI Governance & Strategy
How to adopt AI responsibly — from readiness assessments and governance frameworks to AI fluency programmes and the organisational changes that make AI adoption sustainable rather than speculative.
Data Strategy & Governance
Making data usable, governed, and strategically valuable. Data maturity models, governance framework design, data quality thinking, and the operating models that turn data chaos into clarity.
African Regulation & Policy
Tracking the fast-evolving landscape of data protection regulation across African jurisdictions — what's changing, what it means for organisations operating across borders, and how to stay ahead.
Transformation Leadership
The human side of data and AI transformation — building internal buy-in, leading change, developing capability, and sustaining progress long after the external consultants have left.
Tools & Frameworks
Practical, downloadable frameworks, self-assessment tools, and structured methodologies — built from real delivery experience and designed to be immediately useful to practitioners.
