ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Overview
Our holistic model of academically sound business training and capacitation, supported by mentorship expertise, access to market and financial network partners has proven an invaluable platform from which to build Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) programmes for our partners.
For us entrepreneurship is a form of living leadership in the world. In all of our entrepreneurial programmes we are always mindful of the personal journey of the business owner and self-development is addressed in parallel to skills and knowledge gaps.
We engage with businesses across the economic spectrum from survivalist- to growth stage businesses and co-create solutions based on the following baseline structures:

ESD Programmes
The Business Igniter
This community enterprise development initiative is aimed at sparking entrepreneurial thinking in underserved communities. The programme provides entry level business development support in strategy, marketing and finance to micro- and survivalist entrepreneurs.
Business Essentials
The Business Essentials programme enables qualifying participating businesses (either existing suppliers or prospective suppliers) to revisit their systems and processes and facilitates meaningful supply chain development. Through a holistic approach, we aim to set participants up for success and for independently driving their businesses forward with sustainable operating models.
Next Level
The Next Level programme is an intensive 6-8 month programme specifically aimed at capacitating C-suite leaders that want to gear up their businesses. Next Level Growth focuses on the Theory of Change and it includes training in design thinking and innovation practice.
