SPU recently hosted a public lecture entitled: Getting the most out of your enterprise and supplier development.
There are hundreds of enterprise and supplier development programmes available to corporate companies in South Africa. However, most of these programmes are not producing the results that were planned or anticipated.
Speaker Allon Raiz unpacked the major design flaws inherent in many of these programmes and discussed how organisations can design more effective programmes that will suit their specific needs.
Allon Raiz is the CEO of Raizcorp which, according to one of the world’s leading financial publications The Economist, is the only genuine incubator in Africa.
He is recognised both globally and locally as a thought leader and innovator in the field of entrepreneurial development and business incubation.
