| Bidvest Academy |
| |
The programme covers leadership (including re-engineering leadership DNA to
generate higher levels of energy and performance), business strategy, services
(customer service, customer orientation and marketing) and finance.
The leadership programme is built around a model which identifies leadership
energy as the driver of all system performance. Leadership energy drives
employee energy which in turn generates customer satisfaction and
profitability.
Launched in May 2003 as a training ground for young executives of our Group,
The Bidvest Academy has grown beyond expectation.
Delegates, who come from all Bidvest companies throughout South Africa, are
nominated by the respective divisional chief executives as recommended by each
company head. Every delegate is assessed, not only by management, but by
members of his or her peer group and subordinates.
Packed into three four-day and one two-day workshops spread over six months, is
a lot of solid, hard work as well as some team-building fun. Delegates are
grouped into divisional teams and present a project to Chief Executive Brian
Joffe and divisional chief executives.
Sleep is something delegates get little of during the course of each Academy,
putting in a full day on the job at their respective companies, while beavering
away at nights and over week-ends to complete their Academy assignments and
projects. Everyone who has experienced the Academy will tell you that it is
more than worth the "blood, sweat and tears"!
