Frans Minnaar renders commentary about Current Affairs, including Politics, Economy, Society and issues of Development; Government, including Public Institutions, Policy and Administration, as well as Municipalities; and about Municipalities, including the governance and management thereof. I write blog posts and develop YouTube podcasts, as well as other video clips, to publish and share my commentary.
My model
My model is as follows:
1. I analyse Current Affairs (the conditions in which we operate) to identify governance risks. From my perspective, the term “governance risks” refer to threats and opportunities resulting from the conditions in which government take decisions, and their response to it, which are government policies and actions.
2. I analyse the capacity of government institutions (including municipalities) and the administrative and management systems and processes they apply to implement government policy and render services to communities, in order to identify governance strengths and weaknesses.
3. When I compare the results of the governance risk analysis with that of the analysis of government’s institutional capacity, I can conclude and estimate (in a scientific manner) the risks that face individuals, communities, business and other enterprises.
4. I can then advise site visitors and subscribers about the risks facing them which are from government origins. At this point, it became risks facing enterprises, and must be treated in terms of an enterprise’s Enterprise Risk Management systems and measures.
5. As part of my advisory services to visitors and subscribers on how to deal with enterprise risks, I offer support with optimising management and organisational measures in order to strengthen the enterprise’s ability to mitigate and absorb risks from a government origin.
Site Visitors
The elementary way of identifying and analysing governance and enterprise risks, is to form an opinion about matters in the news (“Current Affairs”), and offer response to such risks by developing podcasts about it, or write blog posts. Simply put, I develop blog posts and YouTube videos about affairs that are current and contemporary in the media.
The videos and blog posts produce as a result of the elementary risk assessment method, are made available free of charge to site visitors and subscribers alike.
Subscribers
On a more advanced level, risks are identifying by collecting and processing data and information, and subject it to various different research methodologies in a scientific attempt to identify trends and risk drivers. I therefore collect and analyse key policy data and development indicators, and analyse it, using different methods, in order to identify and assess governance and enterprise risks.
The resources, which include videos, blog posts, reports, data sets, templates, spreadsheets, presentations and guidelines, resulting from more advanced research methodologies, are reserved for Premium subscribers.
Frans Minnaar lewer kommentaar oor aktuele sake, insluitend politiek, ekonomie, samelewing en kwessies van ontwikkeling;
Regering, insluitend Openbare Instellings, Beleid en Administrasie, asook Munisipaliteite; en oor
Munisipaliteite, insluitend die bestuur en bestuur daarvan.
Ek skryf blogplasings en ontwikkel YouTube-poduitsendings, sowel as ander videogrepe, om my kommentaar te publiseer en te deel.
My model
My model is soos volg:
1. Ek ontleed Aktuele Sake (die toestande waarin ons funksioneer) om risiko's te identifiseer. Vanuit my perspektief verwys ek na “regering-risiko’s”, ʼn die term wat verwys na bedreigings en geleenthede wat voortspruit uit die toestande waarin die regering besluite neem, en hul reaksie daarop, wat regeringsbeleid en -aksies inslpuit.
2. Ek ontleed die kapasiteit van staatsinstellings (insluitend munisipaliteite) en die administratiewe en bestuurstelsels en prosesse wat hulle toepas om regeringsbeleid te implementeer en dienste aan gemeenskappe te lewer, ten einde bestuur-sterkpunte - en swakpunte te identifiseer.
3. Wanneer ek die resultate van die bestuursrisiko-analise vergelyk met dié van die ontleding van die regering se institusionele kapasiteit, kan ek die risiko's wat individue, gemeenskappe, sake- en ander ondernemings in die gesig staar, aflei en skat (op 'n wetenskaplike wyse).
4. Ek kan dan werfbesoekers en intekenare adviseer oor die risiko's wat hulle in die gesig staar wat van regeringsoorsprong is. Op hierdie stadium het dit risiko's geword wat ondernemings in die gesig staar, en moet hanteer word in terme van 'n onderneming se Ondernemingsrisikobestuurstelsels en -maatreëls.
5. As deel van my adviesdienste aan besoekers en intekenare oor hoe om ondernemingsrisiko's te hanteer, bied ek ondersteuning met die optimalisering van bestuurs- en organisatoriese maatreëls ten einde die onderneming se vermoë te versterk om risiko's van 'n regeringoorsprong te versag en te absorbeer.
Werfbesoekers
Die elementêre manier om bestuurs- en ondernemingsrisiko's te identifiseer en te ontleed, is om 'n mening te vorm oor sake in die nuus ("Aktuele sake"), en reaksie op sulke risiko's te bied deur poduitsendings daaroor te ontwikkel, of blogplasings te skryf.
Eenvoudig gestel, ek ontwikkel blogplasings en YouTube-video's oor sake wat aktueel en kontemporêr in die media is.
Die video's en blogplasings wat geproduseer word as gevolg van die elementêre risikobepalingsmetode, word gratis beskikbaar gestel aan werfbesoekers en intekenare.
Intekenare
Op 'n meer gevorderde vlak is risiko's identifisering deur data en inligting in te samel en te verwerk, duer dit aan verskeie navorsingsmetodologieë te onderwerp in 'n wetenskaplike poging om tendense en risikodrywers te identifiseer. Ek samel en ontleed dus sleutelbeleidsdata en ontwikkelingsaanwysers, en analiseer dit, met behulp van verskillende metodes, om bestuurs- en ondernemingsrisiko's te identifiseer en te assesseer.
Die hulpbronne, wat video's, blogplasings, verslae, datastelle, sjablone, sigblaaie, aanbiedings en riglyne insluit, wat voortspruit uit meer gevorderde navorsingsmetodologieë, is gereserveer vir Premium-intekenare.
