Facilitators for hire in Pretoria: local notes
Strategy facilitators here know the government planning cycle: the five year strategic plan, the Annual Performance Plan, quarterly reviews and the technical indicator descriptions that go with them. A bosberaad for a branch or an entity is often two days at a lodge outside the city. Meeting facilitators are also booked for stakeholder consultations and portfolio briefings, and bilingual MCs work at departmental awards and year-end functions in Menlyn and Hatfield.
Pretoria: the employers, the venues and the calendar
As the administrative capital, Pretoria runs on the national calendar. Departments, state entities and research councils book strategic planning sessions for the Annual Performance Plan from about October to January, and the end of the public sector financial year in March brings another rush of reviews and reports. Embassies and international organisations in Arcadia, Brooklyn and Hatfield hold briefings and workshops, and the City of Tshwane runs its own training. Universities and colleges add academic conferences. Venues range from hotels near Menlyn and Hatfield to lodges in the hills east of the city. Delegates often speak Sepedi, Setswana, Afrikaans, Xitsonga or English, and many sessions need formal minutes or a written report afterwards.
