The Roadmap — Three Horizons, Named Owners and How It Gets Paid For | Export Competitiveness 3

A plan everybody agrees with and nobody sequences is a wish. So here is the sequencing, and sequencing matters considerably more than ambition. Three horizons. Zero to twelve months, digitise and de-risk. Twelve to thirty-six months, connect and consolidate. Thirty-six to sixty months, compete and scale. The first horizon pays for the credibility that makes the second one financeable. Take them out of order and the money simply does not arrive. Part 3 of "Export Competitiveness" — Oraquul TV.
