Great /ɡreɪt/
Adjective - of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above average.
DSG stands for Digital Solutions Group, but we also believe it is about Doing Something Great.
For us, the difference between good and great lies between the way you execute on your vision or strategy. It is about going the extra-mile and doing things that are way above good.
I have always believed that as a person, you are only as good as your last performance and success requires relentless focus on execution.
At DSG, we like to apply our digital know-how to create positive social, economic and educational impact.
Over the years some of the most fulfilling work we have been involved in has been for ‘great’ rather than profit.
“Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.”
― Jim Collins, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
I have personally had the pleasure of working with the Nelson Mandela Foundation as their ICT strategist from 2005 and we created a text to screen application, using the 46664 short code, which raised a considerable amount of money for the foundation.
The strategy worked as everyone wanted to see their name on the big screen at the concert behind their favorite stars.
We also worked with United Against Malaria on an e-commerce facility for the selling of bracelets as well as mobile learning throughout Africa alongside Nandos, Standard Bank, DSTV and MTN and the results achieved way exceeded expectations.
Our passion also lies in education and making the internet more accessible and more affordable for all.
