The Enterprise and Supplier Development programme combines leadership development and practical business coaching to support community leaders and local entrepreneurs in Skimming and Leruleng, Limpopo.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My SME partnered with Digby Wells Environmental to deliver an Enterprise and Supplier Development programme designed to support community leaders and local entrepreneurs in the villages of Skimming and Leruleng in Limpopo. The programme combined practical leadership development with entry-level business coaching, providing participants with knowledge and tools that could be applied within their organisations, businesses and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme focused on developing practical leadership and business capabilities. Leadership training was delivered to traditional Kgoro and SRG leadership structures, with key focus areas including self-belief, character development, operational ethics and organisational vision mapping. Alongside this, local business forums received business coaching covering Business 101, product and service development, business strategy and business modelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

A key focus of the programme was helping participants look beyond immediate challenges and consider longer-term opportunities for development. Business coaching encouraged entrepreneurs to understand their markets, strengthen their products and services, consider opportunities beyond their immediate communities and develop practical approaches to building sustainable businesses. The programme also emphasised that meaningful development extends beyond once-off training, with continued mentorship, practical application and longer-term support forming part of the broader approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme was delivered in partnership with Digby Wells Environmental, supporting community leadership and local enterprise development in Skimming and Leruleng. By bringing together leadership development and business coaching, the initiative addressed both the organisational and business-development aspects of building stronger local enterprise capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness development is not only about starting or growing a business. It is also about building the leadership, strategy and practical capabilities needed to sustain that business over time. Through this programme, our focus was on giving community leaders and entrepreneurs practical knowledge they could apply within their own organisations and businesses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
