Yes, our big companies hv ESG funding loans, though challenging to access due to red tape and strict credit regulations.
-
In SA we have seen some of the major banks making ESG Strategy compliance a prerequisite for SMMEs and others to access funding.

Oh, yes it will. This is becoming more relevant today then yester years as more people want environmentally friendly products or goods.

Perhaps we can add to the above challenges: Green Washing

@MelaniedeVilliers We are in the same boat, although mine is a relocation from two cities which are 50 km apart (Pretoria and Johannesburg), with each having a different dialect.

It doesn't. Multiculturism to be beneficial, it must have penalties for discrimination.

Well, employees stayed in their jobs because of good salaries. But because it is public sector, there was no good service in spite of earning well.
And as for equity, they did well.

Coercive control is very subtle. People exercising it find it difficult to let go.
It is exacerbated by social expectation and hegemonic masculinity.
-
Sometimes the challenge might be with cultures that believe men should always make decisions. Thus leading to "survivors" not seeing anything wrong in that coercive control.
I believe that partners who enter into relationships for financial benefit and security, unwittingly or willingly expose themselves to this coercive control.
-
Coercive controllers are bullies and narcissists.
The survivors are viewed as objects or as having no rights and privileges; they have duties only.
-
Personally I believe so because the intention is to exert control by forcing the victim to be in a disadvantaged position and not to be independent. It is not about partners in a relationship, but about a perpetrator being "any person" who commits that act.

I believe that non judgemental approach creates trust and the confidence to open up.
You may inform the patient that whatever you share will be treated confidentially until she gives you permission to share it with relevant people or the ones that wil be able to help her, of she needs help.

In my previous job, I knew and understood the organization's strategy.
However, firstly it was not filtered down to people in operations. Second, because of this, there was no execution. As a result, their 15 year strategy never materialised, it gathered dust in the EXCO offices

I worked for a Public Sector for over 20 years. Generally there is no regard to people, they are seen as just employees that must deliver; no tolerance for diverse opinions.

Businesses that innovate survives any disruptions brought about by new offerings or competitors, as well as making it through crisis times.

Creativity is coming up with new ideas. Innovation is about improving on the existing to make it different.

The Coping phase exposes lack of preparedness if there was never an expectation of any crises.
I think leaders first reaction to crisis is shock, and consequently denial.

We must be careful not to confuse personal success with actual business success.
How we subjectively and intrinsically feel is about us and not the business success.

I believe the best canvas for start ups isn't the Business Model, but The Lean Model Canvas. It speaks directly and relevantly to the Start ups, as opposed to the Business Model Canvas which is ideal for very established businesses.

I think the marketing of the product is key. You can have the best product but it will fail if it is not properly marketed.

Yes....i do to some extemt agree. However, i will also argue that if your business idea isn't appealing, then your business ain't gonna fly.
However, i believe it will alao depend on tje area or country you are in. In some countries, esp in Africa, the biggest challenge is Funding, esp in innovative products which need market testing.
