Getting Target Setting Right Avoid Budget Risks & Compliance Surprises

Calculating B-BBEE targets is often the easy part. The bigger challenge is deciding where to focus budget, implementation effort, and operational capacity once those targets have been established.

Different B-BBEE interventions do not deliver the same cost, implementation burden, or scorecard return. Yet many organisations continue using the same structures year after year without reassessing whether they still remain the most effective option.

At the same time, targets are often built on projected financial and operational figures that can shift significantly throughout the measurement period, creating pressure on budgets, implementation plans, and scorecard outcomes.

This session explores both the calculation and strategic comparison of B-BBEE targets, including how different interventions compare in terms of cost per point, implementation requirements, operational impact, and scorecard return.

Using practical examples and comparative scenarios, we examine where organisations commonly run into target-setting problems, how targets drift throughout the year, and how different implementation approaches perform across cost, efficiency, and sustainability.

What You’ll Learn

• Target Calculation Fundamentals: How financial and operational figures influence B-BBEE target calculations.
• Target Drift & Reassessment: Why targets shift throughout the year and how changes impact scorecard outcomes.
• Comparing B-BBEE Interventions: How mechanisms such as learnerships, disability programmes, YES, procurement optimisation, supplier development, enterprise development, and bursaries compare in terms of cost, implementation effort, and scorecard return.
• Practical Scenarios & Comparisons: Real examples showing how different target assumptions and implementation approaches influence scorecard outcomes over time.
