The client, a leading entity in the Media, Advertising and Communications (MAC) sector, faced significant challenges in late November 2023. With concerns about their verification status and an impending risk of dropping to a Level 7 B-BBEE rating, they turned to Gestalt for a solution. At the time, the client’s situation was compounded by previous investments in training programmes that failed to yield the anticipated benefits, leading to overspending without substantial progress.
Understanding the urgency, Gestalt swiftly intervened. Within a mere five weeks, Gestalt meticulously crafted a strategy that not only stabilised the client’s verification status but also propelled them toward achieving a Level 1 B-BBEE rating. This turnaround was nothing short of remarkable, considering the initial outlook.
Gestalt’s approach was multifaceted. They introduced specific training programmes that delivered immediate value, enabling client to secure half of the points they initially sought from the Skills Development category. Additionally, the tailored Enterprise and Supplier Development plans designed by Gestalt resulted in substantial financial savings—amounting to millions—while simultaneously ensuring that client’s strategic objectives for 2024 were aligned with long-term growth and sustainability.
In reflecting on their collaboration with Gestalt, the client credits the consultancy with not only rescuing their B-BBEE rating but also positioning them for future success. The swift, targeted interventions and the clear, strategic guidance provided by Gestalt have saved client millions and solidified their standing within the industry. As they move forward into 2024, client does so with the confidence that they have a partner in Gestalt, who understands their business needs and delivers beyond expectations.
