SEA has unparalleled experience in turning strategy into delivery.
We specialise in the alchemy to delivery that draws together a range of elements and expertise.
Our team members’ previous projects include:
The Premier of the Province understood the difficulty in delivering quality services to citizens and established a Delivery Support Unit in her office to get things done.
SEA executive directors were responsible for establishing and running the Delivery Support Unit (DSU) in the Office of the Premier, Western Cape Government. Through this period, SEA executives worked with the provincial cabinet and senior management to identify the Provincial Priorities, which were intended to be bold interventions, with ambitious targets, aimed at delivering visible impact in citizens’ lives over a short period of time. This process entailed the development of a Roadmap for each priority – which documented the Theory of Change; the key levers of change; the performance tracking plan as well as the delivery plan (operational plan). The Provincial Priorities were supported by rigorous and regular performance tracking, data analytics, problem solving and innovation, all underpinned by urgency. All these priorities delivered results within specific timeframes.
Continued rolling-black outs and a lack of power supply led the Premier of the province to establish a Green Economy Strategy.
The Premier of the Western Cape stated her intent to position the Western Cape as the green economic hub of Africa. Ms Jenny Cargill (CEO of SEA) was appointed as her adviser to lead this initiative. This entailed the development of a province-wide Green Economy strategy, with accompanying projects and programmes. A major component of this work entailed the transversal management and coordination of all contributing stakeholders and parties. The success of this strategy is evident in the continued investment and job creation in the various industries associated with the Green Economy, and international awards for projects implemented at this time.
SEA’s executives have practical experience in managing delivery units within government, and executing targeted social, economic and investment strategies. In addition, SEA works with associates, within South Africa and internationally, to ensure the full range of expertise needed to effectively execute a strategy.
Belinda spent the last 4 years managing all operational aspects of the Western Cape Delivery Support Unit as well as building the capacity of all Game Changer teams in strategy execution tools and methodologies.
Given her Masters qualifications in Town Planning (UCT) and Development Studies (Belgium), she’s adept at managing interdisciplinary environments and intergovernmental relations.
