    Overview
    Expertise Areas Projects Meet the Team

Shared Value works at the intersection of business and society, helping companies to understand, manage and improve their societal relations. Today this relationship is a key determinant of corporate value. At risk for companies are credibility with consumers, regulatory permissions, media and investor reputation and social licence to operate. On the positive side, understanding societal need and building better relations with stakeholders can spark new models, products and revenues.

Our Shared Value team works with executives to measure and articulate the value of their company to society, to design strategies of shared value, to navigate public policy pressures and prepare advocacy strategies, and to build partnerships and dialogue with important groups.

Overview

Shared Value works at the intersection of business and society, helping companies to understand, manage and improve their societal relations. This relationship has become a key determinant of corporate value. At risk for companies are credibility with consumers, regulatory permissions, media and investor reputation and social licence to operate. On the positive side, understanding societal need and building better relations with stakeholders can spark new models, products and revenues.

Our Shared Value team works with executives to measure and articulate the value of their company to society, to design and implement strategies of shared value, to respond to public policy pressures, and to build partnerships and dialogue with important groups.

We achieve this by working closely with CEOs and senior executives in strategy, public affairs, stakeholder management and corporate social responsibility. The outcome is a substantive change to how the company understands its impact, is perceived by society and how it operates, generating new value for the company and for society.

Our approach has been proven across a range of industries and geographies. Among our clients have been the largest global airline, the world’s largest diamond miner and Africa’s biggest logistics company. We have also had shared value assignments in agriculture, banking, insurance, asset management and property.

Genesis is the only Africa-based affiliate of the Shared Value Initiative in Boston, the world’s leading shared-value accredited practitioners’ network.
Work more effectively with government

Cabinet reshuffle. Credit downgrade. Radical Economic Transformation. White Monopoly Capital. State capture. Price fixing. Political risk. Collusion. Corruption. South Africa is at a crossroads.

Recognising this, Genesis Analytics is partnering with the Gordon Institute for Business Science (GIBS) to present a two-day executive education programme, “Business and Government Relations: Working more effectively with the public sector” on 15 - 16 May 2017 at GIBS's Joburg campus.

The course provides insights and tools to manage public sector relationships constructively.

Bringing a chicken project home to roost

A BEE consortium had approached the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), the largest asset manager in Africa, to partly fund the purchase of a large poultry company. The PIC, in line with its developmental investment strategy, wanted to ensure that the social value of the transaction was maximised. Genesis was asked to produce a social impact strategy for the transaction.
