Empowerment
      Consulting





 

 

Each client of ours has its own unique circumstances, characteristics and industry of operation. We therefore customize the scope of our engagement for every client. Below is an example of the typical kind of projects we do for clients:

Strategy Consulting
Typical project:

  • Transfer of BEE understanding and skills to relevant levels and roles within the organisation
  • Determine baseline BEE score
  • Identify, recommend and implement (where possible) quick win initiatives to improve BEE performance in the short term
  • Identify areas of focus for the longer term
  • Develop competitive BEE strategy aligned with the company's overall growth strategy
  • Plan longer term initiatives to improve BEE performance over the longer term

Note that due to the demand from clients, we can prepare rating files and manage the verification process with the Rating Agent on behalf of our clients to ensure maximum scoring, but we only do this as part of an overall long term BEE strategy project.

  • As part of an overall strategy, we will determine the extent to which a client should implement an Ownership deal or top-up deal

  • Determine suitable BEE Ownership and Management structures and the scale of these

  • Assess Ownership scorecard and advise clients on how to improve scores
  • In conjunction with our parent company Bravura Equity Services, implement a transaction for a client

 Typical activities:

  • Determine extent to which a client can score points for existing initiatives, or how existing initiatives can be tweaked for compliance, while bearing in mind risk, cash flows and the most efficient mechanism for scoring points
  • Identify how the organisation could be supported through the development of Enterprise Development initiatives in the areas of suppliers, outsourcing opportunities and growth opportunities
  • Advise the client on the timing, nature and scale of investments in Enterprise Development, as well as how to ensure projects are sustainable and lead to job creation
