Dr Johnson Asiamah The Bank of Ghana (BoG), the country’s apex financial institution, has never been so much on the spot. Embroiled in partisan political propaganda and operational challenges, the bank has failed to meet the standards of transparency expected of an institution of its standing.

Many ventures launch with strong enthusiasm, early traction, and promising market interest, yet only a few transition into sustainable, high-growth enterprises. This is not accidental.

Scaling is not something that happens later; it is something that must be built into the foundation of a business from the very beginning. When businesses are designed for survival, they remain small. When they are designed for scale, they create the capacity to grow, adapt, and…
