The Revised Champions course now includes the Revised Codes of Good Practice as gazetted by the department of trade and industry in October 2013, which seeks to answer the following questions:

How do the gazetted changes to B-BBEE possibly affect your B-BBEE scorecard?

How do you improve the overall level of your organisations B-BBEE Scorecard in a way that is sustainable?

Do you know what qualifies and what doesn't for the B-BBEE Scorecard, and what evidence you need to prepare and present before verification?

How do the BEE processes within an organisation thrive in a business environment that demands that we do more with less, while having a long-term strategic view?

The B-BEE Champions Course has been designed to effectively equip the BEE Champion or transformation manager with the necessary knowledge and competencies to be effective in understanding the various B-BBEE scorecard pillars and implementing the necessary changes in the organisation in order to maximise the organisations B-BBEE scorecard level.

The course content:

• The Revised Codes of Good Practice
• The macro-economic context of B-BBEE in South Africa (the "WHY?" of empowerment)
• A technical understanding of each of the pillars of the BBBEE Scorecard, including targets and measurement criteria (the "WHAT?" of empowerment)
• The calculations to build a current state scorecard.
• Planning the implementation of BEE in the organisation
• Preferential Procurement, the alignment to PPPFA, Value Adding Suppliers and the new Enterprise Supplier Development
• Employment Equity within the context of B-BBEE
• Skills development interpretations, learnerships, definitions of disabled individuals and how to maximise the human capital pillar of the scorecard
• Enterprise Development best practice
• The capacity to update the company's BEE position on an on-going basis
• Guidance on collecting all the necessary documentary evidence in preparation of a formal Rating or Verification
• Consolidating all the theory through practical exercises and case studies
• An Immersion Experience of Alexandra

At Transcend we believe that with true transformation B-BBEE has got a chance, it's for this reason that we expose the delegates of the BEE champions course on what we call is an "Immersion Experience".

The delegates of the BEE champions course will be exposed to an environment where entrepreneurs have grown their business's over 300% over the past few years, working in an environment that was constructed to house 20 000 families in a square mile, but now has 750 000 people in-habiting this space.

The Alexandra Transformation Immersion experience, a unique perspective of the context of transformation and the reality of empowerment within South Africa will bring the context of ED and SED together in a very real way.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• HR professionals
• Preferential procurement professionals
• Any individual who has been appointed as the BEE Champion to take care of the B-BBEE scorecard
