Programme Design / Strategy
If the size of the ED budget is large enough, it may be beneficial to invest in designing a strategy that will ensure that the funds are structured in such a way as to provide real benefits to the sponsor and society.
This will involve;

1. Developing the strategy and mandate; including getting executive buy-in to the BEE philosophy and ED objectives of the strategy.
2. Determining the high level targets; budgets, timelines, forms of financing and contributions required from operations.
3. Opportunity ranking framework: Investigating and prioritizing ED and PP opportunities available to the company; assessing the impact each opportunity will have on the BEE outcomes, the business at large and society.
4. Implementation programme; designing the structure for delivering on the strategy; the required activities, responsibilities, sponsors, budget.
