how Enterpriseroom helped the client achieve transformation milestones
Since 2010, Enterpriseroom has provided the client with ongoing enterprise development programme management support. This has included:
- Establishing improved procurement processes
- Ensuring maximum early payment claim
- Sourcing ED beneficiaries that meet the strategic requirements of the client’s head office and its divisions
As part of our ESD Programme management services, we:
- Designed an enterprise and supplier development strategy (early 2009)
- Provided ongoing mentorship programme management
- Assisted with the establishment of new ventures out of operations earmarked to be closed down, such as a tinware printing company in Cape Town
- Supported local service providers – including businesses established by previous employees
- Facilitated putting black-owned suppliers on early payment terms to improve their cash flows
- Onboarded new black-owned suppliers into the database
- Organised and ran roadshows to all divisions which increased awareness of what is good enterprise and supplier development and understanding of interventions that lead to sustainability
- Brought management and staff on board by relating the mentorship action plan directly to their needs and challenges; while being sustainable, determining realistic expectations together with defined (financial and non-financial) returns and measurable impact
