SERIOUS ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

Job creation, skills development, independence and self esteem that come from small business growth are prized by everyone concerned with our country’s well being. That’s why South Africa’s formal private sector is keen to promote enterprise development (ED). Getting it right though, is easier said than done. This intensive two-day workshop exposes companies to hands-on lessons in how to best use their resources to unleash entrepreneurial activity in our country’s marginalised constituencies.

Topics covered, insights given, and mini-courses held include:

• Nurturing small businesses to success;

• Bridging the gap between CSI and ED;

• Practical lessons from the field; and

• Legislative change to expect.

This is not a talk shop, rather, participants will work with people experienced in funding ED that works, and will learn about ways in which their own companies can avoid mistakes in this field, and how to get the best ED results from their social spend. Limited to 120 participants for effective learning and engagement, potential ED funders will be exposed to lessons in how to find partners; how to work alongside them; avoiding pitfalls; and understanding related legislation.
