Transformation is at the heart of our business, and if we’re not capable of embracing change and anticipating future needs, then we would hardly be able to help our clients to do the same. We’re meeting the challenges of the current economic climate by adding two new value add services to our current portfolio, and extending our strategic planning model to include a user friendly, on line execution and monitoring tool.
We’re also offering cash-strapped, credit-crunch sapped HCD and Training and Development Departments the opportunity to purchase accredited training material and deliver it in-house. This newsletter focuses on these new developments.
Litha-Lethu Events – ‘the new kid on the block’
Embedding change often requires that we create and launch innovative and exciting events to encourage support and buy-in from diverse groups of employees, customers, or suppliers.
“…Developing a fully-fledged Events Management Wing to complement our existing transformation suite then, just makes good sense,” comments Palesa Ponoane, Department Head. “We have the change management foundation, project management discipline and the marketing and communication expertise to complete the transformation cycle from analysis to complete stakeholder engagement and on boarding, so why not extend this to event and conference management outside of the strictly transformational? The same principles apply, and we have a proven track record”.
Under Palesa’s specialist stewardship, and with a network of credible hospitality, media, marketing and public relations experts on board, Litha-Lethu Events now offers:
- The facilitation and organisation of Corporate events/functions/activities;
- Co-ordination and management of promotions, events, exhibitions;
- Public relations, marketing;
- Team building and leadership development activities;
- Venue sourcing;
- Sourcing of Catering, transport, accommodation, etc.;
- Excursions, i.e. experiencing Soweto the ‘kasie’ way; and
- Concierge Services

 Strategic planning, implementation, monitoring results and outcomes in real time... more important than ever … ec@ps puts it on your screen and at your fingertips…
Global credit crunch…. looming mass retrenchments, a dearth of leadership…world-wide….a tottering Zimbabwe on our doorstep…. Daily headlines that have huge implications for South African businesses, great and small.
Litha-Lethu has been successfully implementing the C@ps (Compass Aligned Performance System) system, a computerised strategic planning, and implementation and performance management process for over 5 years now. C@ps involves a holistic approach integrating all employees within the organisation and allows them to recognise their individual contributions toward the vision. Standard Bank has extended it from Cape to Cairo…
Now there’s ec@ps, the online tool that works hand in hand with c@ps as an execution, monitoring and performance management system. Not only does it allow for the alignment of an organisation’s activities, it allows staff and management to monitor performance against strategic plans in ‘real time’…saving trees, time, and costly mistakes. Senior managers can monitor and evaluate their incumbents’ performance using ec@ps. Call us on 011 447 4280 to arrange a demo for your team.
