  1. THE HR CHALLENGE OF CAPACITY BUILDING BY: MR. TREVOR FRANCIS HR MANAGER uMHLATHUZE MUNICIPALITY

  2. INTRODUCTION Too often we are seduced by the sex appeal of strategic planning, its excitement and perhaps most enticing of all, its inherent lack of accountability. When this happens we forget that success has little to do with planning and a whole lot more to do with DOING. I KNOW WHAT TO DO………………..BUT I DON’T KNOW IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

  3. The brutal truth is that the difference between those companies that are successful and those that aren’t, is their ability to execute... and…execution depends on people… Output - Driven Indecisive Teamwork

  4. SCARCE SKILLS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT Fact or Fiction?

  5. THE PROBLEM STATEMENT WORLD COMPETITIVENESS REPORT GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT

  6. NATIONAL SKILLS STRATEGY

  7. IS IT THAT MOST ORGANISATIONS ARE NOT DESIGNED OR MANAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TALENTS OF THEIR PEOPLE…??? POLITICAL WILL……………………(this is my turf) RATIONAL……………………(what must I do) EMOTIONAL……………………(feelings)

CHALLENGES • CULTURAL FIT ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE VS INDIVIDUAL CULTURE CLIMATE OF ORG.AND RESISTANCE TO CHANGE CAN IMPEDE PROGRESS. b) ABILITY PUT PEOPLE IN PLACE SO THAT ORG.CAN SUCCEED. c) AFFIRMATVE ACTION KEEPING YOUR EYE ON THE SCOREBOARD…??? d) EQUITY QUALIFICATION…..A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE !

  11. Given South Africa’s divisive and prejudiced past,which has created the dire situation where the majority of our people have critical lack of skills and capabilities,the challenge is even greater……..if people are our most sustainable competitive advantage,then how are South African businesses,large and small,going to compete in Global markets…??? The poor development of skills training in SA underpins the lack of competitiveness in the global village.

  12. REACTIVE OR PROACTIVE …. BENCHMARK We cannot look to international benchmarks for answers to our own situation……………we have different challenges and we probably cannot earn above average returns (which we need) by doing what everybody else does. Earning exceptional returns requires being able and willing to do things differently……………

  13. We must invest considerable time and effort in upskilling our employees and building the capabilities we require to transform, compete and win………….the obvious and basic fundamental requirement necessary to make this a reality is………….?

  14. TRAINING Addressing the imperative to achieve extraordinary results through ordinary people must go broader and deeper than just training…we need to question how we structure our organizations,design management processes and how we craft our strategies...
