8th Franchise Leadership Summit set for Johannesburg in MarchGuided by the theme 'agility accelerates growth', FNB is hosting the 8th Franchise Leadership Summit on 3 March 2020 at Montecasino, Johannesburg. The annual event is aimed at promoting growth and leadership in the franchise sector. Morne Cronje, head of franchising at FNB says, “in order for franchising to remain resilient against the prevailing tough economic conditions and continue contributing positively to GDP and job creation, businesses have to adapt and find innovative ways to improve productivity while maintaining reasonable profit margins.” South African franchising experts will share insights about their respective industries while unpacking their personal experiences and best practises. The speaker line-up includes: • Siphamandla Mkhwanazi, senior economist at FNB: State of the economy and what it means for entrepreneurs in South Africa. “Our speakers will demonstrate how strategic partnerships and agility have enabled their franchising businesses to grow and remain competitive – empowering them to respond quickly and effectively to opportunities and threats resulting from changing market conditions and evolving consumer needs and wants, amongst other dynamics,” concludes Cronje. |
