Through the adoption of cutting-edge technology like the Internet of Things (IoT), Balogun has been instrumental in helping businesses capture real-time information for better decision-making.

The benefits of digital transformation are far-reaching. By collecting data at every customer touchpoint, businesses gain a deeper understanding of customer needs and can provide personalized experiences. Improved information sharing with suppliers enhances product design and customer preferences. Additionally, the integration of networks and IoT enables better coordination among different entities within the healthcare ecosystem.
“While technology is playing a key role in improving business interaction, technology is still largely human-driven; hence, for us to do more business and trade more across global boundaries, businesses need to adopt modern tech and coordinate this tech,” insightfully shares Balogun. “Beyond the Internet of Things, there has to be an Internet of purpose and goals into a seamless whole. Customer needs should match service provider capacities and resources being provided by suppliers.”
Natavi Consulting and Investments is at the forefront of driving digital transformation and creating intelligent chains across Africa. With Olatorera Balogun leading the way, healthcare businesses are poised to thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
