Skills Development
MindColours Consulting has developed a number of skills-development programmes that are aimed at upskilling corporate staff to think and act more accountably. Our skills programmes include leadership training and emotional intelligence. The programmes are also designed to integrate into your company’s enterprise-development and supplier-development programmes.We ensure that you achieve your B-BBEE skills development points while also strategically integrating into your overall business strategy.
Rural Development
In research conducted by MindColours Consulting in the JTG, and commissioned by Anglo American Sishen Mine, we concluded that, all too often rural communities are excluded from the economic benefits of a growing economy. As a result, there is a mass migration of skills to cities across the country, which leaves rural areas wanting in terms of the quantity and quality of skills required to build local economies. We have designed rural programmes, cognisant of the interplay between local traditional and political leadership. MindColours Consulting works with large localised industries – such as mines, IPP’s, Local Government, and so on – to ensure that communities can participate in the benefits of economic activity in their regions. At MindColours Consulting we conduct rural research programmes as a situational analysis on various districts with key focus on socio-economic conditions in different villages and communities.

We assist corporates to strategically and effectively deploy their enterprise-development funds in a manner which creates real, sustainable impact and, at the same time, serves the corporate’s long-term strategy. We are known for our ability to expeditiously develop and implement tailored enterprise development programmes.
Mindsets & Behaviour
Do you from time to time experience low morale, conflict and/or unhealthy competition in your teams? Does this have an impact on team synergy, production, safety and eventually on your bottom line? Is it your experience that individual members do not always perform to their optimal capabilities? More and more companies find that these deficiencies lead to low levels of TRUST experienced within teams, which ultimately affect their bottom line.
Safety Mindsets
Most intervention today address the technical aspects pertaining to safety, i.e the Do’s & Dont’s, with little effort, if any at all, made to speak to the mindsets that created these unsafe behaviours in the first place. For many years organisations have been trying to improve safety performance, but research shows that over 70% of all major change initiatives fail because they do not address that underlying mindsets that drive behaviour.

MINDSETS & BEHAVIOR
Do you from time to time experience low morale, conflict and/or unhealthy competition in your teams? Does this have an impact on team synergy, production, safety and eventually on your bottom line? Is it your experience that individual members do not always perform to their optimal capabilities? More and more companies find that these deficiencies lead to low levels of TRUST experienced within teams, which ultimately affect their bottom line.

At MindColours Consulting we do a lot of work to identify and address identified deficiencies to ensure that our clients experience true transformational change that delivers bottom line impact,
while also leaving organisations as better places to work because of improvements in the quality of interactions between people.
Our approach is based on a fundamental belief in the importance of engaging individuals to enable the personal insight required to change mindsets and ultimately modify behaviour, and thus culture, over time. Our work is based on proven trans-personal an behavioural psychology theory. It furthermore creates the foundation for an irreversible trajectory of growth in performance. Our approach to culture change is anchored in performance impact (not change for the sake of change). In doing so, we place ourselves in the best position to truly assist organisations and individuals to cope with disruptive changes, and to be creators of new solutions in a world struggling to sustain current forms of economic growth.

SAFETY MINDSETS
Do you still experience accidents and incidents despite the fact that your employees have undergone technical safety training?
Don’t you wish that everyone would just follow the rules and be SAFE?
To what extent do these incidents and accidents pose a threat to your bottom line?
Most intervention today address the technical aspects pertaining to safety, i.e the Do’s & Dont’s, with little effort, if any at all, made to speak to the mindsets that created these unsafe behaviours in the first place.
For many years organisations have been trying to improve safety performance, but research shows that over 70% of all major change initiatives fail because they do not address that underlying mindsets that drive behaviour.
Generally, people with greater experience, especially in a successful company, are often resistant to change because they have been successful doing things the way they have been used to not realising that the context has changed…. That’s entirely human.
