1 Directors’ Symposium Report - June 2015 1. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Marketing, Advancement & Communication in Education (MACE) successfully convened the organisation’s first-ever Directors’ Symposium during June 2015. The two-day event was hosted by the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) at its North Campus in Port Elizabeth and the MACE Board of Directors commissioned Dr Riaan C Els to facilitate the programme. The inaugural symposium, which was conducted on 9 and 10 June 2015, had been conceptualised during the previous year’s Annual Congress that was conducted at Sun City during November 2014. Several of the more senior, experienced members of MACE had indicated a need for introducing a developmental intervention that was specifically to be designed for leaders/managers and which was to be presented separately from the Annual Congress programme. The envisaged programme would be aimed at addressing the needs of specifically Executive Directors, Directors and Senior Managers within the disciplines of Marketing, Advancement, Communication, Alumni Relations, etc at our various member institutions, incorporating both the Higher Education (HE) and Technical, Vocational Education & Training (TVET) sectors. The session was attended by 60(+) members, which was considered a most positive indication of support for the strategies of the MACE Board of Directors, as well as for the quality of the current programmes that are on offer to member institutions, since the attendance figure represented roughly half of the total number of delegates that typically attends the Annual Congress during any particular year. 2.

Directors’ Symposium Report - June 2015

1. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Marketing, Advancement & Communication in Education (MACE) successfully convened the organisation’s first-ever Directors’ Symposium during June 2015. The two-day event was hosted by the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) at its North Campus in Port Elizabeth and the MACE Board of Directors commissioned Dr Riaan C Els to facilitate the programme. The inaugural symposium, which was conducted on 9 and 10 June 2015, had been conceptualised during the previous year’s Annual Congress that was conducted at Sun City during November 2014. Several of the more senior, experienced members of MACE had indicated a need for introducing a developmental intervention that was specifically to be designed for leaders/managers and which was to be presented separately from the Annual Congress programme. The envisaged programme would be aimed at addressing the needs of specifically Executive Directors, Directors and Senior Managers within the disciplines of Marketing, Advancement, Communication, Alumni Relations, etc at our various member institutions, incorporating both the Higher Education (HE) and Technical, Vocational Education & Training (TVET) sectors. The session was attended by 60(+) members, which was considered a most positive indication of support for the strategies of the MACE Board of Directors, as well as for the quality of the current programmes that are on offer to member institutions, since the attendance figure represented roughly half of the total number of delegates that typically attends the Annual Congress during any particular year. 2. SYMPOSIUM PURPOSE AND AGENDA The overall purpose of the symposium was to facilitate a learning-and-sharing forum during which the delegates could gain some fresh leadership insights,

obtain new information or discipline-specific knowledge, develop additional managerial skills, share commonly experienced challenges and debate potential solutions at an executive/management level. The programme was hence designed to incorporate both specialist presentations as well as show-casing of best practice examples among peers. Apart from expert presentations (or discipline-specific) input sessions, the process also included panel discussions and networking opportunities. Of particular significance in this regard was the inclusion of several TVET management representatives along with their HE colleagues. The programme of the Directors’ Symposium is attached to this report as Annexure A, while Annexure B represents the attendance register of the event. 3. SUMMARY OF PRESENTATIONS

The next part of the report summarizes the main points of the various presentations, while the actual Powerpoint slides are cross-referenced in the body of the report, along with the actual slides being attached as annexures to the end of the report.

3.1 A Word of Welcome, Opening of the Symposium and Introductions

Mr Pieter Swart, Director of Marketing & Corporate Relations at the NMMU and also an Honorary Member of MACE, welcomed the delegates to Port Elizabeth. He took care of announcing some logistical arrangements and also made reference to a Twitter account that had been created for the event (#MACEforum). Thereafter, Ms Pooven Naiker – National Chairperson of MACE – opened the forum, welcoming everyone to the inaugural Directors’ Symposium. During her opening remarks, she referred to:

the conceptualisation of the symposium during Congress 2014

the need for leadership/management development in our field of operation

the programme, which also incorporated networking opportunities and social activities

the hope that the programme would grow into the future

her gratitude towards the Facilitator and sponsor of the programme

the significance of the event and the heartening support received from so many institutions being represented at the symposium.

The official opening was followed by Dr Riaan C Els – Facilitator – sharing the main purpose, programme and process of the symposium. An opportunity was also created for the delegates to introduce themselves to each other during a fun exercise that was undertaken in smaller groups.

3.2 Key Note Address Ms Lacea Loader – Regional Chairperson of MACE in the Free State Region – introduced Professor Jonathan Jansen, Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State as the key note speaker. Prof Jansen’s topic was: “The Fast-changing Landscape – A Perspective on the Major Changes Projected for the HE/TVET Sectors in the Future”. During the presentation, he made reference to:

the five major problems facing Higher Education in the country: - poor quality of school graduates - capacity of government to fund students - composition of the professoriate - political pressure on universities - the “new” anger of the youth

the high levels of spending, but poor level and quality of results/outcomes produced

the primary problem not being a funding one, but the need to change the quality of the results (through empowering teachers, predominantly)

how to lead in a crisis (by leading in peace times)

the need for setting clear and simple standards

listening to your followers being vital for all leaders, along with leading by example

not being afraid to discipline students (which is not equal to punishment)

the example of teaching at the UFS, focussing on academic results and teaching the youth to be decent

the importance of listening and turning crises into opportunities

a general concern over a lazy culture in the country and at his university

how to advise your VC without fear and not concealing any problems, but acknowledging their existence

making the lead story lead – particularly in the print media

being tough when required, but doing so with love

accepting that there will always be more than one audience to please. His presentation was followed by a number of questions from the audience, to which Professor Jansen responded. A copy of this presentation slides is attached to this report as Annexure C. 3.3 Specialist Presentation: Media & Communication Ms Phumzile Mmope – National Deputy-Chair of MACE – introduced Mr Wayne Powell from Mortimer Harvey as the first specialist presenter on the programme.

Mr Powell’s presentation was titled: “From Mad Men to Math Men to Meta Men – The Changing Media & Communication Industry”. The main points of his presentation related to:

An exploration of the three phases – that of mad men, math men and meta men

mad men refers to the “arty” approach of advertisers in the past

this phase was followed by a major focus on research

meta men aims at integrating technology (while telling the “human story”)

defined brands mostly emerged during the mad men phase, along with jingles/slogans, but today we witness a move away and towards brand ideas (example of ABSA’s “prosper”)

math men’s focus on researching consumers lead to the development of LSM strategies

several indices have been proven to be invalid

meta men as a phase involves consumers as co-creators, integrating technology with story-telling

relevance is a major focus now

the dramatic developments in the field of social media

the future pointing towards the “cloud”

the power of social marketing and the future of digital communication with consumers

the need for brands to be mobile-ready and -friendly

the seven biggest trends in the digital environment, of which he highlighted three: - the rise in mobile usage (hyper connectivity, with 4 billion people

being projected to be on line in the next few years) - the internet “of things” (the growth of electronic appliances being

connected to the internet and a proliferation of IP-enabled devices, including wearable technology)

- dynamic pricing and the ability to “think on your feet” (example of Nando’s advertising).

The most interesting presentation was very well received by the audience and Mr Powell responded to several questions from the delegates. A copy of this presentation slides is attached to this report as Annexure D. 3.4 Peer Panel Discussion The next item on the agenda involved a panel discussion, convened on the topic of: “Commonly Shared Challenges Faced by Advancement Functions at HE Institutions & TVET Colleges – An Executive Perspective”. The Facilitator introduced the panellists, consisting of Dr Cathy Robertson from the Stellenbosch University, Mr Mohammad Shaikh from UNISA, Dr Connie Israel from the UNIZULU Foundation and Mr Kevin Johnson from Varsity College. Each panellist was given an opportunity to first provide an

overview of the challenges as experienced by their own institution/their own experiences as members of Executive Management at institutions (either presently or in the past) and/or their research into this field. During their input sessions, the panellists referred to:

the need to “step away” and view the problems from the outside

the lack of skills to lead and manage among most members of the Executive

the existence of several competing priorities, often facilitating constant crisis management

limitations with regard to marketing budgets

the need for a visionary strategy

the existence of both institutional and cultural challenges

the limited understanding of the important role of communication at executive level

a lack of thorough conceptualisation of strategies

the importance of exchanging ideas between practitioners and VC’s/CEO’s

the need for positioning as closely as possible to the institutional leader

being strong enough to “push back” when required

the impact of technological developments

student expectations are changing, demanding instant service gratification

the need to remain focussed amidst the crises

the challenges of inheriting a dormant operation, being placed under administration

positioning challenges and the need for internal/external collaboration

the impact of resource challenges

the influence of university politics and reputation

the pressure on private colleges that “cannot afford to get it wrong” in the absence of subsidies

the challenges related to policy matters (being considered more important than the students)

the need to remain flexible, while focussing on the core business of teaching & learning and the core stakeholder group – the students

the lack of leadership and the need to invest in their leadership development

the disparity between the HE and TVET sectors

navigating around issues of trust between leaders and practitioners

ensuring quality contributions, changing others by doing (as opposed to talking)

the importance of building relationships with all stakeholders. Thereafter, the Facilitator summarised the input and facilitated a number of questions that were posed by the audience to the members of the panel. One of the input sessions – that of Dr Israel – incorporated a Powerpoint slide presentation and a copy thereof is attached to this report as Annexure E.

3.5 Closure of Day 1 and Evening Social Event Mr Pieter Swart announced the logistics for the networking event that had been arranged close-by, at No 5 Boutique Art Hotel in Summerstrand, whereafter the Facilitator closed the programme for the first day of the symposium. A most pleasant social evening was enjoyed by the delegates. 3.6 Opening of Day 2 and Guest Speaker: HESA Ms Beverley Erickson – National Secretary/Treasurer of MACE – welcomed everyone back to the second day of the symposium and she then proceeded to introduce the guest speaker. Dr Jeffrey Mabelebele, Chief Executive Officer of Higher Education South Africa (HESA, was requested to speak on the topic of: “Challenges Facing Higher Education in SA – The Role & Potential Contribution of HESA and MACE Practitioners”. His most enlightening presentation focussed on the topics of:

the set of assumptions underlying the challenges that are commonly faced by institutions

the seven main challenges, including: - massification of education (with the demand outstripping the

supply) - inadequate state funding (subsidies declining while the cost of

education is on the increase) - internationalisation (fierce competition with Africa being a net

explorer of students) - changing State-HE relations (the three models of state supervision,

state intervention and state control) - the next generation of academics (currently older, with a high

attrition rate and insufficient PhD’s being produced) - the onset of ICT’s (expansion through open distance learning) - transformation

the challenges of transformation being related to five major challenges, including: - access to education - success rate challenges - governance of institutions - building the next generation of academics - differentiation within the sector

the Human Capital Development Strategy

questions for MACE, including the: - improvement of the legitimacy of the sector - educating the public on the role of universities - re-building trust between institutions and the state - an alternative financing plan for the HE system - assisting with the transformation process.

The audience once again posed a number of questions to Dr Mabelebele, to which he then responded and a copy of his presentation slides is attached to this report as Annexure F.

3.7 Best Practice Presentation: Communication Mr Mayishebe Setlaje – Regional Chairperson of MACE in the Gauteng Region – introduced Ms Victoria John, Educational Journalist from the Mail & Guardian as the first best practice presenter on the second day of the programme. Her presentation was on the topic of: “Capitalizing on Media Coverage, Even When the Going Gets Tough – Strengths, Limitations & Potential Reporting on HE in South Africa”. The main points of Ms John’s presentation related to:

how to structure the message when dealing with conflict

the importance of listening

being accountable for developments at the institution

getting personal when dealing with the media

taking visible action

learning from others

realising that social media is key. Afterwards, she responded to a number of questions from the audience. A copy of her presentation slides is attached to this report as Annexure G. 3.8 Best Practice Presentation: Development/Fundraising The second best practice presentation was undertaken by Dr Riaan C Els, Chief Executive Officer of the Carl & Emily Fuchs Foundation. His topic was titled: “Good Morning Aspihe – Current Trends in Philanthropic Giving to Higher Education in SA”. The main points of this presentation focussed on:

the background to the survey

the size and shape of philanthropic income within the sector

donor sources and categories

private philanthropy and international comparisons

donation characteristics

comparative university fundraising performance in the country

alumni giving rates

Development and Alumni Relations staffing

levels of investment made in order to attract funding

expenditure and return on investment. Dr Els responded to several questions from the audience and he was then thanked by Ms Pooven Naiker – National Chairperson. A copy of this presentation slides is also attached to the report as Annexure H.

3.9 Best Practice Presentation: Alumni Relations Mr Takalani Dzaga – Regional Deputy-Chair of MACE in the Northern Region – introduced Mr Peter Maher from the University of the Witwatersrand as the third best practice presenter on the programme. Mr Maher’s presentation was titled: “Nurturing the Roots, Trunk & Branches of a Fertile Alumni Relations Programme – Cultivating Mutually-beneficial Relationships”. The main points of his most interesting presentation related to:

the importance of a data base in managing alumni relations

the roots being represented by the data base and getting the total institution involved

the trunk referring to the student experience – the main focus of alumni services

the impact of branding and creating a memorable campus spirit – happy students are the best marketers

the major focus should be internal (not external)

the branches being represented by the alumni programme itself

the importance of recognition to alumni

the results of the annual Universum research, indicating the relevance of the following elements: - access to facilities - e-newsletters - networking opportunities - university events/lectures - discounts - career support services - alumni events

the leaves, being the alumni constituency

the fruit is represented by the three R’s (reputation, relationship and revenue) and three T’s (time, treasure and talent)

the need to invest properly in this important function, creating a virtuous circle of growth and investment for the institution.

The presentation was also very well received by the delegates and afterwards Mr Maher responded to a number of questions from the audience. A copy of his presentation slides is attached to this report as Annexure I. 3.10 MACE Excellence Awards Presentation The final presentation on the programme was undertaken by Mr Jandre Bakker – MACE Director: Excellence Awards. His topic: “It’s Not All About Winning, Or Is It? – Guidance to HE & TVET Directors” was aimed at providing input to Directors who wish to encourage their respective teams to enter this year’s Excellence Awards during the second half of 2015. The main points of his presentation related to:

what the main purpose of the Excellence Awards is

how the scheme recognises excellence in the various disciplines

the process and its implementation

the reasons for entering the competition

the categories of prizes awarded annually

the reasons why some institutions do not win

the need for Executive support. Also this presentation was very well received and Mr Bakker responded to several questions from the audience, while indicating that a more detailed regional workshop on the topic was being planned for each of the six regions in the near future. He was thanked by Ms Normah Zondo – MACE Regional Chairperson in the KwaZulu-Natal Region – and a copy of this presentation is attached to the report as Annexure J. 3.11 Needs Analysis & The Way Forward The Facilitator brought the symposium process to a close by facilitating a discussion on the topic of assessing the current event and planning for any such interventions in the future. Three questions were posed to the delegates in smaller groups – the answers to which are recorded below:

Did the audience find the current symposium meaningful or not and do they wish for the Directors’ Symposium to be repeated/become an annual event on the MACE calendar? The audience was unanimous on the topic of the symposium having been a success and agreed without exception that they would like this to become an annual intervention on the MACE programme.

Should the programme content be structured along the lines of the current symposium or would they like to focus on either more specialist input sessions or greater generic leadership development content? Members agreed that a combination of specialist or “discipline-specific” input, along with more generic leadership development and management skills training is required – to be facilitated/presented by both external specialists and as part of show-casing best practice by means of peer presentations.

Should any potential future leadership development interventions be structured and scheduled separately from or as part of/a parallel session within the Annual Congress programme? The overwhelming majority indicated a preference for a separate intervention (apart from the Annual Congress) as had been the case at the inaugural symposium.

3.12 A Word of Gratitude and Symposium Closure Ms Phumzile Mmope – National Deputy-Chair of MACE – was tasked to share a word of gratitude and to close the symposium proceedings. During her eloquent address, she thanked:

the delegates for their support and attendance of the inaugural symposium

the Facilitator for the contributions made by him, along with the Carl & Emily Fuchs Foundation as sponsors of the event

Mr Pieter Swart and his team for hosting the guests

the members of EXCO and specifically Ms Pooven Naiker, Mr Pieter Swart and Ms Lacea Loader for designing the process

the representatives from the Sol Plaatjie University and the University of Mpumalanga for their attendance, along with all the other HE institutional representatives

the various representatives from the TVET colleges for their participation

all the members of the Board of Directors for their unwavering support. Thereafter she officially closed the symposium.

4. CLOSING COMMENTS

In my view as Facilitator, the inaugural Directors’ Symposium was indeed successful. It is apparent from the feedback received that the delegates who attended the event experienced the intervention as both valuable and desired by members, as also borne out by their request for the symposium to become an annual event on the MACE calendar of activities. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms Pooven Naiker, Mr Pieter Swart and Ms Lacea Loader for their assistance in co-designing the programme, as well as to the MACE Board of Directors for the opportunity of facilitating the programme. Riaan C Els, PhD Johannesburg, 13 June 2015
