Keynote Topics

This particular presentation offers the participants an opportunity to engage with some of the most contentious issues that underpin the South African social fabric.

The next phase in organisational transformation requires businesses to move further away from IQ & EQ and to work to DQ, what Roy calls the ‘Diversity Quotient’. There is strength and richness in diversity which remains misunderstood and untapped in corporate South Africa, resulting in inefficient and ineffective transformation programs.

Key touch points for the two presentations above include:

  • What is Social Transformation? The Constitutional perspective
  • Human dignity and the death penalty contextualized
  • The true meaning of equality
  • What is Affirmative Action & B-BBEE and is it still relevant?
  • Is race still important?
  • Bridging the social divide

The exponential growth in technology has created a divide between the social and business behaviours of past generations and our current organisations. How are we able to reconcile the illusive Gen-Y employees’ work ethic with that of previous generations?

Key touch points for the above keynote include:

  • What are the major differences between the generations?
  • Tools on working with Gen-Y’s from a Gen-Y perspective
  • Tools on understanding the business environment for Gen-Y’s
  • Tips on business behaviour changes to create a sustainable environment for Gen-Y graduates and employees.
