Message from the founding Registrar Dr.Raphael Dingalo
Engaging with stakeholders is crucial to the success of any organization. Robust consultation adds insight into the operating environment, the market place, trends, user /customer need, and growth opportunities, as well as to a vision of the organisations future. As a relatively new organisation, BOTEPCO is doubling its efforts at stakeholder engagement to promote buy-in from the myriad of our stakeholders. We have developed a solid stakeholder mapping exercise that is dependent on three critical principles: responsiveness; completeness and materiality.
Our stakeholder engagement strategy and initiatives assist us with different perspectives that provide opportunities for learning and potentially changing our approach to ensure it fits the needs of the stakeholders. Understanding the views and interest of ones stakeholders can lead to more effective and efficient decision-making. More importantly, it will assist us to gain trust from our stakeholders. Effective engagements are critical to building lasting credibility and trust in one’s organisation and/or product. The product we are pushing which by large is seeking to professionalise teaching is fundamental in the country’s socio-economic developmental agenda.
Our engagement is central to improving accountability within our own organisation as well as to the wider market. Transparency is important and for this reason, we shall be available to engage and discourse with our stakeholders at any given time appropriate. We have developed a robust plan and have started the implementation phase.
