Pick n Pay is a large South African retailer with over 1000 stores in 7 countries and annual turnover of R63 billion. It aims to empower small and medium enterprises through its enterprise development program which provides mentorship, funding, and access to markets for suppliers. The program supports suppliers at different stages of growth through various types of partnerships with government and private organizations. However, small businesses still face challenges in areas like access to financing, business skills, and regulatory compliance that need to be addressed through more flexible and comprehensive solutions from all stakeholders.

The document discusses strategies used by Swartland Municipality to reduce red tape. Key strategies included implementing an Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Performance Management System (PMS), developing a Client Services Charter, engaging in public consultation, and maintaining organizational and political stability. A case study highlights how building plans are now approved within 14 days on average, down from 30 days previously, through establishing clear application processes and tracking systems.

The document discusses ways to improve government service delivery processes through reducing red tape and inefficiencies. It notes that while red tape is meant to ensure quality, consistency and fairness, it often leads to poor customer service when processes are not streamlined. The document advocates mapping current processes, eliminating waste like batching and queues, stabilizing workflows, and prioritizing continuous improvement through tools like visual management systems. Case studies show how these approaches helped improve throughput, reduce wait times and staff overtime.

The document outlines achievements and future plans of the Western Cape Red Tape to Red Carpet initiative. It discusses establishing a central business support helpline and network, streamlining business registration, and overhauling provincial procurement. It also covers improvements to planning and land use processes, environmental regulations, and support for municipalities and entrepreneurs. Looking forward, it proposes continued support through the helpline, implementing regulatory impact assessments, and adopting service standards across districts to reduce application processing times. The overall goal is to make it easier, cheaper and quicker to do business in the Western Cape.

The document discusses the UK government's efforts to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses through programs like the Red Tape Challenge and One-In, Two-Out policy. The Red Tape Challenge identified existing regulations and solicited public feedback to eliminate unnecessary or outdated rules. Regulations were grouped into themes and challenges through a multi-step review process involving government agencies and external stakeholders. Successful reforms delivered included increased flexibility for company auditing and clearer contaminated land guidance. Lessons learned included the challenge of reviewing an entire statute book and ensuring changes are communicated and implemented.
Eight to one: Scottish police reform programme:
On Tuesday 26th November 2013 in the heart of Birmingham ProgM SIG staged “Delivering more 4 less: using programme management to achieve transformational change in times of austerity." The SIG had promised an event that weaved together the four ‘C’s’ theme namely collaboration, change, community and competence, drawing on a wealth of experience from across the public sector. http://bit.ly/progmm4l
Merv Wyeth, ProgM Chair introduced the conference by describing how the event had been designed with the intention of providing delegates with a high return on their personal investment – i.e attendance and participation #eventroi. The big idea was that the day should be an enjoyable shared experience that offered an exceptional opportunity for learning, motivation and networking in the field of programme management.
Time and space was built into the programme to enable the audience to interrogate (police were present), and otherwise question, speakers. They were also given the opportunity to vote in polls on issues and questions that speakers posed, which offered additional insights into audience perception and sentiment which otherwise would not have been available.
The conference offered the chance for Jim Dale to provide a ‘sitrep’ on his ProgM-backed
Collaborative Change research namely “Using research to improve the delivery and effectiveness of change programmes and projects” previewed in last month’s show-case webinar. During his presentation Jim provided an update of the story so far, thanked those who had already participated either in an interview or by completing the survey. ProgM would like to extend the opportunity to all those currently, or previously, involved in programme management and related collaborative activity to participate in this important Collaborative Change survey.
On the day, Steve Wake, newly appointed Chair of APM Board, was available to round-up the proceedings and provide a special vote of thanks to his Board colleagues, the organising committee and our generous sponsors, BMT Hi-Q Sigma. He reminded those present of the ongoing Strategy 2020 initiative of “Listening, learning and leading” that complements events of this type.
One delegate (Neil White) wrote “A constant theme, running like a golden thread throughout the day, was that effective programme management is a necessary and complimentary bedfellow of collaboration, and an important ingredient in delivering successful transformational change.
Whereas projects are essentially objective and enable the effective development and delivery of ‘products’ (some of which are can be very big products!) it was recognised that programmes are much more subjective and must be sensitive to the environment in which they are operate.
Rather than see them as obstacles, programme managers must respect and be prepared to exploit the systems and organisations surrounding them to their mutual benefit.
The Future of Local Government-Steve Jorden & Sophie Hosking
This document summarizes the Transformation 2018 (T18) project between South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council. T18 aimed to restructure the councils to be more customer-focused and reduce costs by 25% through redesigning 400+ processes, implementing new technology systems, and restructuring around a case management model without service silos. As part of the culture and behavior change, all roles were made new and staff had to reapply, with some roles going to external candidates. The changes have been difficult but are aimed at more intelligent, efficient service delivery and financial self-sufficiency by 2020.

Norfolk County Council faces significant budget cuts over the next three years totaling £144 million. To address this, the Council plans to reimagine how it provides services by: 1) Establishing clear priorities and ambitions focused on residents' well-being; 2) Creating a unified "Norfolk public service" through partnerships; and 3) Becoming a more strategic, nimble organization. The goals are to deliver higher quality services through prevention and community support while reducing costs. Key challenges include high rates of residential care usage and waste disposal. The Council will pursue efficiencies, technology-enabled services, revenue growth, and empowering communities to address budget shortfalls.
Webinar: How to Future Proof Your CTRS scheme for Universal Credit
Despite greater flexibility to raise income, councils still have to make savings and ensure their budgets are spent as efficiently as possible.
In many councils the spotlight is on Council Tax to raise income and the Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTRS) to make savings.
Council Tax Schemes have been locally designed since April 2013. While many still reflect the nationally administered Council Tax Benefit, we're starting to see greater innovation locally.
The driver of this innovation is the backdrop of the cumulative impact of past and future welfare reforms, the introduction of Universal Credit and ever tighter budgets.
CTRS schemes are intended to keep the most vulnerable citizens safe from poverty. Knowing who those people are is a huge challenge.
We've modelled options for future CTRS schemes in detail for various councils. The impact assessments are used to make informed policy decisions by officers and members.
View this webinar to learn how:
1. We accurately model the cost of CTRS schemes today
2. We accurately model the cost of CTRS schemes in the future, including under Universal Credit
3. We accurately model, compare and evaluate CTRS options under consideration
4. We provide evidenced based recommendations on which CTRS scheme best supports the strategy e. g. best fit for anti-poverty strategy while operating within financial constraints
5. What CTRS schemes we have created for North Hertfordshire, Leeds City and Newcastle City Councils

2) The purpose of RIAs is to make policy more evidence-based, ensure stability in legislation and business, and increase transparency.
3) The RIA process involves identifying the problem, objectives, options, impacts, costs/benefits, and includes public consultation and monitoring.
Proportionate analysis is key.

Apohan equity tech platform pitch deck ppt v50 08-02-2022 aj
Apohan is making the world's first strategic transaction platform. The highly ambitious new generation of SMEs need services for transactions (such as equity funding or JV) to grow. SMEs neither have a management capable of carrying out complex transactions nor know how to avail these services from consultants. Hence, strategic transactions are nearly absent in SMEs & the reason is lack of a economical, reliable service platform. Apohan's platform would bring the strategic transactions to the doorsteps of SMEs. Our platform caters to all ecosystem stakeholders, all parts of the transaction value chain & we capture exhaustive information of a business needed to take conclusive transaction decisions. Our platform is made to increase the success rate of transactions, reduce the cycle time, break the long broker chains & reduce the transaction costs. Apohan realizes counselling, screening & success charges. The company expects to close an unprecedented 100 transactions a day within 10 years. On the competition front, hardly 0.1% of fintech companies are in the transaction space & there is no transaction management platform in the whole world.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
