Proudly South African – In Isolated Pockets

The state might be in a state, but it’s important to differentiate that much of the South African private sector is still in true world-class shape.

Here’s why:

I make this claim with qualified confidence, as we operate in 36 countries and can benchmark corporate competence across the world with much precision.

The upside of feeling despondent about the future of this country is that it offers a paradoxical advantage, that South African businesses often strive to punch above their weight to compensate for the obstacles and challenges they face at home and realise that they must go the extra mile to stay afloat against the prevailing tides of national maladministration. And here’s the magical thing – such extra efforts make them anti-fragile, more resilient and therefore more likely to emerge as dark horses on the global stage.

This speaks directly to the adage of necessarily, ‘Building an internal locus of control’, as reliance on a fertile and supportive outer environment is almost a lost cause. But to sustainably build this inner core of potency, organisations must take stock of their internal workings, upgrade their ‘Organisational Software’ and commit to becoming future fit under all macro circumstances – an insurance policy against the hazards of external mismanagement.

We have witnessed miraculous transformations in our customers’ worlds and proud to have played our part in bringing about their future proofing.

Let us show you how.
