Enterprise Development – Money Well Spent

Introduction

Enterprise Development main objective is to create sustainable business enterprises that achieve growth in order to create jobs and to grow the economy,  the two necessary conditions for political stability and low crime rate. International research points out that jobs are created mainly by small to medium size businesses. ED is therefore crucial in ensuring the market economy survives, by ensuring the fruits of a growing economy is shared my most people.

The  Measured Entities are crucial in ensuring that ED achieves its objective. Our experience demonstrate that business organisation that positively embrace Enterprise Development stand to gain more than the 15 points on their BBBEE scorecard. Effective implementation of ED can lead to accessing new customers; returns on investments just to mention a few.

Part of the problem is that ED is not regarded as part Value Chain core-business activities. The task of implementation is relegated to the bottom of the drawer and management do not allocate resources to the project.

The support activities are outsourced to experts. Some businesses do not have the financial capacity to hire outside experts to assist them to implement Enterprise Development projects successful. The problem is made worse by the following issues:

• Lack of time and resources to identify sustainable Beneficiaries;
• Lack of a business model to maximise recognition of contribution;
• Lack of a process to monitor progress on projects and to introduce corrective measures, where necessary;
• Delaying implementation until the right partner comes along; and
• Reservation of spending lump sum due to fear that money will be wasted or misused.
