<p>What does it take to turn around an institution that is already broken? Dr Julius Kipngetich has spent decades fixing organisations across Kenya, from KWS and Equity Bank to Uchumi and Jubilee Holdings. In this episode of **Financially Incorrect**, he shares what really drives a turnaround: fixing the system, sequencing change and knowing when money is not the solution.At KWS, his interventions helped drive a sevenfold increase in revenue. At Uchumi, he discovered that even aggressive cost-cutting could not overcome a KES 5 billion capital hole.He also shares how a KES 1 million Equity Bank investment made in 2006 grew to roughly KES 90 million, and what that teaches us about patience, compounding and building wealth.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Access all our links in one place: https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc💹 Ready to start trading?🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode Chapters00:00 Intro: Meet Dr Julius Kipngetich02:18 What Would You Do If Money Didn&#39;t Matter?05:06 The Systems Theory Behind His Leadership09:14 Growing Up With Money and Responsibility13:02 The First Lessons That Shaped His Career16:47 Fixing University of Nairobi From Within21:43 Reviving Kenya&#39;s Investment Promotion Agency26:18 Walking Into a Troubled KWS31:42 How KWS Was Losing Millions36:58 Recovering KES 300 Million in Three Months41:37 Why He Raised Wildlife Park Fees46:29 Tripling Salaries at KWS51:34 The Wildlife Census That Changed Everything56:43 Why KWS Needed Structural Reform1:01:42 Why He Eventually Left KWS1:05:28 How Equity Bank Changed Kenyan Banking1:11:42 The Real Secret Behind Equity&#39;s Growth1:17:38 What Went Wrong at Uchumi1:23:16 When Cost-Cutting Cannot Save a Business1:28:41 Rebuilding Jubilee Holdings1:34:47 Why Sequencing Change Matters1:40:06 Government Pay vs Private Sector Pay1:44:32 The KES 1 Million Investment1:49:03 How KES 1M Became Roughly KES 90M1:54:12 Dr Julius Kipngetich&#39;s Advice on Wealth</p>
