In 114th episode of
Good Morning BSS World podcast, I am joined by the insightful Rod Jones to explore the dynamic and evolving world of BPO in Africa. We start by diving into Rod's extensive experience in the BPO industry, providing listeners with a solid foundation to understand how the sector has grown, particularly in South Africa.
Rod shares fascinating historical context on call centers, backed by research data, before we transition into a discussion about the formation of the Federation of African BPO Associations. Together, we discuss potential venues for the Federation's highly anticipated launch conference, as well as the exceptional language capabilities that position African BPO providers as a go-to choice for international clients.
To top it off, Rod gives us an exclusive sneak peek at his upcoming book. Whether you're an industry professional or just curious about the potential of Africa's BPO market, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss!
