What to know locally in Pretoria
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.
Facilitation work in Pretoria
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.
Who asks for strategic planning facilitators around Pretoria, most often first:
- Government departments and municipalities: Strategic Plan and APP sessions, municipal planning lekgotlas and entity board strategy days
- Schools, colleges and universities: university and college strategy sessions, and school development planning with governing bodies
- Companies and head offices: executive off-sites, business unit strategy days and planning before the financial year end
Local tips for Pretoria
Common here: APP and strategic planning sessions for departments, bosberaads, academic conferences. Ask each provider about this: ask whether the quote covers the planning report in the department's own template. Where they work from: hatfield, Arcadia, Brooklyn and Menlyn, plus lodges east of the city toward Mooikloof.
Sizes range widely: one or two days, often residential. Here, government departments and municipalities lead the requests, typically for Strategic Plan and APP sessions, municipal planning lekgotlas and entity board strategy days. One local point to raise: short drives within Tshwane; the Gautrain links Hatfield and the CBD to Johannesburg.
Service area: Pretoria and surrounds
Briefs from Pretoria go to providers that already work in Centurion, Hatfield, Waterkloof, Montana, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof, Akasia and the rest of the area. Say whether the session is at your premises or a venue, and whether you need help finding one.
