Serious Enterprise Development workshop 2011
Filmed interviews
During the Serious Enterprise Development workshop 2011 which took place on 28 and 29 September 2011, we asked our speakers to sum up the most important message they wished to convey during their presentations. These videos can also be viewed directly on YouTube on Tshikululu’s channel:
| Dr Robin Woolley (Director: Transcend Corporate Advisors) reviews the basis of ED qualification under the codes and asks how a company might engage in value-adding ED in a way that aligns with business strategy. | Shaun Govender (CEO: The Business Place) discusses obstacles encountered by small enterprises both locally and internationally. |
| Chris Darroll (CEO: Small Business Project) tests traditional thinking on corporate enterprise development initiatives, and assesses where greater impact on socio-economic goals can be achieved. | Running SA’s premier enterprise development programme for more than 20 years has seen Anglo American Zimele create over 800 businesses, and Nick van Rensburg (Head: Anglo Zimele) has learnt lots of lessons. He shares his approach. |
| Rehema Isa (Head of consulting services at Fuse Project Management Consulting) walks us towards collaborative partnerships in ED. | Jane Woodhouse (Business development manager: Tshikululu Social Investments) examines the links between ED and development in general, identifying ED as one step in the broader development process. |
| How should we look at the future? What are the latest global scenarios? What might lie in store for South Africa? Clem Sunter (Futurist, lateral thinker) imagines the unimaginable. | Sebastian Mathews (Managing principal: Navigant Strategic Finance) discusses the asset-based and community-driven approach to development, which espouses the belief that communities can take the lead in identifying and managing their own priorities. |
| ED has the potential to double the rate at which jobs are created in SA. Jason Goldberg (Director: Edge Growth) shares some of the practical tools, frameworks, and approaches to accomplishing this. |
One of our country’s greatest from-the-ground-up entrepreneurial spirits, Herman Mashaba (Founder: Black Like Me) shares the challenges and victories of black-led business success in South Africa. |
