From B-BBEE level 4 to level 1 in just 2 years: The BEE123 and TQ Group impressive partnership
Overview
TQ Group is a specialist communications company that develops content production and marketing work for leading South African firms.
Challenges
TQ Group was committed to driving transformation and producing a meaningful social impact. However, their transformation strategy was hampered by several organisational challenges.
- Monitoring: The company had not developed a process for measuring Transformation.
- Benchmarking: There was no formal baseline measure against which to assess progress.
- Strategy: The client did not have a formal roadmap for how programs would be deployed, nor had they set any clear strategic Transformation objectives.
- Verification: The company did not formalise a path to verification.
Solution
OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENT
BEE123 started working with TQ Group in 2015. We started with a careful assessment of the company’s Transformation capacity, systems, and objectives.
To address the lack of monitoring, we helped establish monitoring capacity and processes. Together, we established a Monitoring Team and initiated a monthly monitoring process.
To measure progress, and ensure strategic goals were effectively aligned, Quarterly Reviews were set up, which were chaired by BEE123. The reviews enabled us to provide high-level strategic guidance, benchmark success and ensure the company continued to follow Compliance best practices.
