Are business leaders just focused on the challenges they face in their enterprises or are they actively keeping a low profile?

Smart GROWTH.co.za – 5 findings from the 2016 report

The National Development Plan needs a significant boost, and an almost business-like application before it can hope to have its intended impact. We examine how the NDP can be implemented more efficiently and effectively in an agile way.

Empowering black individuals, most especially entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized enterprises through Enterprise Development (ED) not only contributes to BEE criteria, but as we will discuss, actively grows the economy and society.

The global trend of digitisation poses a mass of possibilities and new realms of potential. We profile how Digital Transformation is necessary in South Africa to expand the economy, to meet the future as it rushes onwards, and to capture the benefits.

When embraced, Commercialisation of State-Owned Enterprises, including partial privatisation, has been successful in South Africa. We investigate the middle ground for SOEs and how to capitalize on leading examples.

Though it is no panacea for the nation’s ills, enhancing Education Outcomes is the most pertinent area in which reform and improvement can manifest rapidly. We will explore positive trends and discuss how these can be amplified to address the crisis in education in South Africa.
