“Blueprints is simply the best mechanism we have ever used to help us drive a high performance culture in our business.

We have such faith in the process that we have incorporated the methodology into the Deloitte suite of offerings”

The launch of the Comair Blueprint for Success.
“While there was considerable resistance to the idea of launching through the medium of industrial theatre, this ultimately proved to be a huge success. The benefits of this approach extended well beyond simply the unveiling of the Blueprints formula, and included a fantastic teambuilding opportunity, a chance for the staff to recognize exco as part of their team, and some great fun at work. Here again the advice and experience of the Blueprints team was invaluable. We would strongly recommend the Blueprints approach to any organization wishing entrench its culture and make itself fit for future challenges.”

“We wish to thank you for the extraordinary experience that we have had in launching our strategy to the organization through Blueprints. In an industry where long term goals and opportunities are almost impossible to predict, establishing the behaviours and values that will support our success proved to be an ideal approach. Your assistance and experience in condensing all our inputs into core values was much appreciated.”

To become the First Choice clients make when choosing a mining contractor, Murray & Roberts Cementation embarked on a process with all its people to co-create a Blueprint for Success.
“The rollout and launch was expertly and professionally handled by Blueprints™ and the participation across our organisation was far beyond our expectations. The program or intervention is now part of our organisational fabric and has improved our employee relationships on project sites which we can prove through the monitoring that is done bi-annually. It has helped Murray & Roberts Cementation to improve our safety performance from an LTI of 4.69 out of a million hours to a LTIFR of 2.24, which is a marked improvement.
I would strongly recommend this methodology for both improving your organisational and safety culture.”

“The Blueprints formula was THE best thing I ever did for my business. What started out as a process to make our Mission and Values come alive….moved along a path that seems to have no end in sight. Many things happened….we extracted our DNA… ‘What made us great’ and ‘What could take us out’. We trained management and staff on our business and what makes it tick. We built a team across all levels that made us one. We pushed decision making down to all levels of the business. We gained a tool that helps explain the way we do business to clients that finds a win win solution. This empowered the sales team and made them ultimate partners with our clients. We use it for all HR related issues from hiring to performance management to bonus distribution. We use it to resolve problems in all areas of the business from shareholder level to our suppliers. The list is endless.”-

Citadel Wealth Agency CEO Andrew Möller introduces us to the unique way in which Citadel is able to combine left and right brained thinking to truly meet the unique needs of its clients.
“Our experience with Blueprints has surpassed those who had high expectations and has blown away those who were a little cynical of the
ultimate outcome. ‘The Citadel Way’, which is what we have named our Formula, is already something constantly talked about and referred
to. I feel that the co-creation and then the vulnerability of the Industrial Theatre, were the catalysts for such broad acceptance.”
Keith Betty:
ex CEO Citadel Private Client Wealthcare
“We chose a particular context in which to build our Formula – to Build workplaces and careers of the future – and take our company to the next level. These objectives were defined on the ‘right-hand-side’ of the equal sign of the Adcorp Formula for Success and all employees were invited to express their views on how best to achieve these objectives on the ‘left-hand-side’ of the equal sign”
80% of Adcorp’s employees participated in one or more phase in the creation of this Formula.
The Adcorp Formula for Success is our unique way of ensuring that we continuously grow from strength to strength – for all our stakeholders.”

Pam Golding Properties CEO, Andrew Golding unveils the Pam Golding Blueprint for Success, and briefly takes us through what each element in the Pam Golding Way Means.
“The process was fascinating and enlightening, resulting in a formula which I believe will assist RE/MAX in achieving its goal sooner than planned, i.e. to be the No. 1 Real Estate Organisation in South Africa.
Most importantly though it has been overwhelmingly ‘bought into’ by our Broker/Owners, Associates and Support Staff, which means the ‘uniqueness’ of our operation can now be evaluated on an ongoing basis and delivered to clients through an ‘Above the Crowd’ RE/MAX experience.
I look forward to continuing our association into the future.”
Bruce Swain. Managing Director. RE/MAX of Southern Africa

Favourtism & discrimination: Ster-Kinekor employees acting in a skit of this concept at the launch of their Blueprint for Success. They are representing a principle which they will strive to avoid in their daily work. Launching a Blueprint via industrial theatre is a great way to ensure that employees truly engage and remember the Blueprint which they co-created.
“Our success in rolling out the program across several divisions, covering almost 60 Ster-Kinekor branches nationwide, is testimony to the excellent support received from Blueprints and its staff. Their deep understanding of the DNA methodology and the ability to adapt it to our unique environment was key in meeting our objectives. The ongoing support and advice provided by Blueprints is proving invaluable in the rollout and maintenance of this cultural transformation process.
Best of all perhaps is the simplicity of the whole approach – why didn’t I think of it!”

“Of the three million things I’ve ever done in the corporate environment, this was by far the most valuable.”
Rob Collins
COO Sun International
You may remember that, back in the 1980s, Sun International made a promise to its customers: “We will rock you”. While that promise was easy to keep, thanks to our magnificent properties and spectacular events that have become the company’s trademark, it may have meant little to Sun International’s people themselves – unless they were given a guide on how to bring it to life.
That’s exactly what the Sun Way is about. It’s a distillation of Sun International’s vision, mission and values; the synthesis of the company’s essence to help employees make the most compelling impact possible on the customer experience.
This video is the original Sun International TV advert featuring Queen and their We Will Rock You anthem from their performance at Sun City.
