company profile
BizTech recognises that the heart of any organisation is its
support staff. No executive can operate at peak performance
if his or her personal assistant is not super efficient,
financial staff knowledgeable and ethical and everything
from travel bookings, to reports, PowerPoint presentation’s,
customer service, debt collection, newsletters, events and
building the team is competently done by every cog in the
organisational wheel.
Middle level professionals too need constant knowledge
infusions to keep at the top of their game. And entry level
graduates need to know the techniques to apply theory into
effective practice to perform optimally in today’s
challenging business environment. Major employers like Edcon,
which employ tens of thousands of staff, ensure that every
staff member receives at least a week of training every
year. Can your organisation afford to do less?
BizTech has extensive experience in training. Courses are
updated frequently. Feedback forms are analysed and changes
implemented if necessary. The company responds directly to
requests from corporates and government to design courses
that meet new business challenges.
Facilitators are drawn from the top ranks of business,
academia, the legal fraternity and other specialised areas.
Every course is a dynamic presentation of necessary theory,
hands-on practical applications and motivation. The day
after you or your staff attends a BizTech course there will
be a measurable improvement in performance.

aspirational, and that with ongoing training and awareness
of the best new business and information skills they can
attain excellence. BizTech has tailored courses to be brief

impact on work performance after. In-house courses are more
cost effective, especially for 10 or more staff, can be
tailored to meet a company or government department’s
specific needs and are increasingly popular.
Development takes place through open and supportive
communication from facilitators and active, guided
participation from fellow course attendees. This sharing of
information and best practice, the capacity to build
networks with like-minded individuals is a powerful and
important ancillary to the knowledge imparted on the course.

learning underscore the BizTech philosophy. vision

business support personnel, enabling them to achieve their
highest aspirations, through the provision of key training

place in the south african economy
“A manager's task is to make the strengths of people effective and their weakness irrelevant--and that applies fully as much to the manager's boss as it applies to the manager's subordinates,” Peter F Drucker
The global financial crisis “has left economic devastation and human tragedy. While the rich have become less rich – the poor, working people and smaller businesses have been seriously damaged. In South Africa, 500 000 people have lost their jobs. The Unemployment Insurance Fund, under Minister Mdladlana’s trusteeship, has seen monthly claims double since April last year. Businesses have come under strain. The banking sector has understandably become risk averse and clamped down on credit,” according to Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.
On top of all that education standards have been declining and placing severe pressure on businesses trying to get suitably skilled and self-motivated staff. Columnist Nigel Fox wrote on Marketing Web: “If we have outcomes based education, we should have outcomes based employment. Doing the job is more important than occupying the position. That means - (1) every functionary is identified in an easily recorded way, (2) every interfacing customer can report on their service experience and (3) the results are acted upon.”
South Africa has the world’s highest brain drain and worst skills shortages of 55 countries studied and its productivity is plummeting according to Productivity SA and the World Competitiveness Yearbook. South Africa also ranked last on infrastructure, internet costs, health problems, availability of qualified engineers and life expectancy.
So what is the solution? Patrick Conroy, an etv news executive said his goal for staff in 2010, was “training, training, training.”
BizTech is constantly evaluating its courses, adding new material, revising and adapting courses to the needs of a rapidly changing world. Skills alone are not sufficient, confident, self-motivated employees who can treat clients and customers with care and respect and a commitment to excellence at every transaction build businesses and transform economies.
