A better approach to transformation

As the nation gears up for the election in 2024, there are many that are hopeful about voting out a corrupt government and voting in a government that will be honest and serve the people.
Would that help?

Our concern is that corruption has seeped so deeply into our national culture, that the solution is no longer to simply replace the government.

Our current status required everyone to “do your bit.”

Fortunately, that is happening.
We are heartened by some of the initiatives that we are seeing in Durban - where we are based - and other initiatives around the country that see businesses joining hands, churches and NGOs joining hands and people working for the good of the community and the nation.

Not least of these initiatives is the Time2Rise movement, which is sparking hope in areas of our nation where there has been much despair.

We encourage you to get to Bloemfontein from the 6th to the 8th October. The meeting is set to be a game-changer weekend for South Africa.

If you do not know about it, have a look at their website: https://time2rise.co.za/
And, let us know in the comments section what your company is doing to rebuild the nation. We all need heart-warming stories at this time.

Our diverse skill-set in Kingsley Elliot Consulting is centred around a singular aim: to help our clients improve their sales.
A question we seek to answer is, “How do we help our clients become sales focused organisations?”

If you are in sales, you may know the frustration of getting your colleagues in other departments on board.
Getting your colleagues on board requires “selling internally.” In “leadership language” it involves influencing your colleagues via persuasion.

For this reason, we have invited the Prince of Persuasion, Les Owen to present on persuasion skills at our upcoming Sales Management Seminar (21s September).

Working with intransigent employers and militant trade unions in the 1980s and 90s as a young consultant, Les quickly developed the skill of “getting people to do something because they want to do it.” That is the art of persuasion, isn’t it?

From there, his fascination with the science of persuasion over the last 20 years positioned Les to empower clients to persuade people to do the right thing, whether stakeholders, colleagues or customers.

Join us in Umhlanga on the 21st September to glean from Les and other experts, to “sharpen your sales saw.”

*Les Owen is a Director of Owen, Adendorff & Associates (Pty) Ltd. a consultancy that specialises in HR and Labour Law consulting & training.

Spending your allotted budget is usually more of a challenge in the Public Sector than in the Private Sector, where we are rewarded for under-spending. Why?

The level of under-spend usually translates into profit, which sometimes translates into bonuses.

In the Public Sector, under-spend results in the Department losing money to another department. The funds get “re-prioritised” or “re-allocated” elsewhere. Under spend in government departments is surprisingly common.

SETAs meet this challenge in a good way: they make more money available for businesses to supplement their training budgets.

That is good news, right?

Right now, (May 2023) the merSETA has a Discretionary Grant (DG) funding window open until the 30th May 2023. They have funding to support a staggering 17,440 training interventions for their priority skills. That’s a lot of training! More than half of the budget is set aside for Learnerships and Skills Programmes. See the attached presentation for more details.

Remember, Kingsley Elliot Consulting works with a variety of training providers, so we are well positioned to help.
We attach a Power Point of the presentation from SA Business School, an accredited Training Provider whom we have found to be very helpful and professional in the DG Application process, and in their training offerings. They have a Learner Completion rate of over 90%.
SA Business School Learnership rates are also reasonable. Their online options are highly competitive.

To take advantage of the opportunity, mail us on [email protected] by the 22nd May so that we have sufficient time to process the application.

Note: merSETA is the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority.

Today, before May Day, we take a moment to salute the manufacturing industries of South Africa.

Some notes that I took from a Conference on Procurement advised the following average rations regarding investment in the manufacturing sector:
1. A one hundred Rand investment in manufacturing results in a R113 increase in the national GDP.
2. A one million Rand investment in manufacturing results in three decent and sustainable jobs in the economy, and
3. A one million Rand investment in manufacturing results in R350,000 of fiscal revenue.
