CHALLENGES
Productivity SA and Second Economy Challenges
• Inability to reach critical mass• Limited regional presence• Our mandate – to ensure peripheral economies (SMME) brought into the mainstream• Characterised by lack the orthodox systems found in larger or more established businesses• We recognise the strategic importance of the SMMEs to job creation in our economy; therefore,
Productivity SA continued to expand its interventions in this sector.• More than 1700 small enterprises coached and mentored to measure and improve productivity
in their own organisations– Productivity SA deployed its own resources – Combined projected financial benefit in excess of R115m p/a – These quantifiable financial benefits are a distinguishing factor that makes our small
enterprises intervention a flagship amongst the rest! – Partnership Challenges in the implementation led to over extension of our resources
CHALLENGES
• Negative Consequences:– Pressure on cash-flow due to unanticipated demands beyond our plan– Late payments
• Notwithstanding these challenges, Productivity SA prides itself in:– Solid Risk management culture– Strong internal audit focus
TURNAROUND FOR THE ORGANISATION
. Renegotiating the terms of partnership agreements to minimize our exposure
• Retraining of staff in additional competencies (multi skilling)
• Addressing key skills shortage through existing partnerships
• Strategy review– Revised business model to align with Skill Development Amendment Bill – Increase focus on turnaround solutions in light of the economic
downturn.
• Successful Rebranding of NPI to Productivity SA
• The right to host the 15th World Productivity Congress (first in Africa)
• Incorporation of Productivity into The National Curriculum Statement
• Continued to exceed targets in Jobs Saved through the Social Plan
• Achieving Productivity Improvement in the SMME with tangible financial gains
• Elevated the PCPB to a National Project
• Free positive media coverage to the value of R4m during the launch of Productivity Statistics
