Fast Company South Africa, 17 Apr 2026

Description

Fast Company inspires a new breed of innovative and creative thought leaders who are actively inventing the future of business. With engaging narratives as informative as they are entertaining, Fast Company motivates fans to think beyond traditional boundaries, lead proactively, and most importantly, embrace change. The South African edition will be along the same themes as the USA; initially 40% of the content will be South African and 60% will be from the USA. For the first time, the South African market will have the opportunity to read exclusive interviews with the CEOs of Facebook, Amazon, NIKE, Google and the top international and local trend-setters across a broad spectrum of industries. South Africans are crying out for a younger, hipper business title – and now they will have one!

ArticleThe Inflec­tion Point

Every cor­por­ate resur­rec­tion has an inflec­tion point — a moment when lead­ers decide that the past is not des­tiny. For Telkom, that pivot required abandon­ing the psy­cho­logy of a mono­poly and embra­cing the mind­set of a com­pet­itor. It meant...

ArticleThe Long Arc of Rein­ven­tion

Cor­por­ate sur­vival stor­ies often hinge on tech­no­lo­gical break­throughs. Telkom’s renais­sance, however, is less about a single inven­tion than about cul­tural reen­gin­eer­ing. It required lead­ers com­fort­able with ambi­gu­ity — engin­eers who...

ArticleA Brief Note on Innov­a­tion

Each year, the edit­ors of Fast Com­pany under­take a pro­cess that is less about selec­tion than it is about obser­va­tion. Over twelve months, they watch. They listen. They spend time inside com­pan­ies, not only to under­stand what has been built,...

ArticleRECOMMENDER

Ath­letic shoes have always prom­ised something extra. Faster splits. Bet­ter cush­ion­ing. Less pun­ish­ment on your joints. Now foot­wear brands are push­ing the prom­ise inward. They claim their shoes can influ­ence how your brain feels and...
