Academic vertical value chain optimisation: There was (and remains) a dire need for effective and sustainable digitisation mobilisation.

Strategic partner interactions whilst at kalahari.com elucidated that sell through of physical tertiary academic content was then at most 30%. This meant 70% of students (minus second hand market) were attempting to study without the core material they needed to prepare for their classes and exams. Forge Education's digitisation model presented an alternative that looked to work with then trajectories of digitisation which included the modularisation of content into appropriately consumable components: Adaptive Learning. Furthermore, we sought to adapt the roles of traditional book retailers to become digital content suppliers, and most importantly digitisation consultants to the educational institutions. Rather than proceeding with digitisation in accordance with determined trajectories, the Department of Basic and Higher Education backtracked toward re-working existing curriculum in physical format, whereupon Fe decided to close in June 2015.
