ZOL awarded for marketing par excellence
THE year 2016 has been a year of reckoning for
Zimbabwe’s leading Internet Service provider
(ISP) ZOL as we have been driven by determination, good leadership and team work to not
only deliver on our goals, but also strive to be
the best in our industry.
This has seen ZOL receiving awards and recognition for its efforts in marketing, customer
service excellence and leadership.
On October 21, the Marketers Association
of Zimbabwe (MAZ) awarded ZOL’s CEO Denny
Marandure with the Marketing Oriented CEO
of the Year Award at the 2016 MAZ Annual
Awards ceremony, held at the Elephant Hills
Hotel in Victoria Falls.
This becomes the second year running that
Denny has won this award, a clear indication
of his leadership excellence in the field of marketing.
The country’s leading ISP, ZOL Zimbabwe,
was also nominated for and received the following awards:
•Best Creative TV Ad 2016 (Fibroniks Lite)
•Second runner up Integrated Promotional
Campaign
•Second runner up Radio Advert of the Year
(I need ZOL Life)
•Second runner up Customer Engagement
Excellence
•First runner up Website of the Year
To add onto the accolade he received, Marandure was conferred the distinguished status
of Fellow in the Chartered Institute of Consumer Management, (F-CICM) a reflection of his
leadership qualities that have been the mainstay of ZOL’s rise to be the best internet service
provider in Zimbabwe.
Marandure had this to say: “I would like to
thank Zimbabwe Exceptional Marketing Awards
for this well deserved award. Broadband communications is the pivotal technological innovation in the 21st century, which has brought
about widespread and dramatic impact on our
society and is the biggest driver of economic
growth. I feel honored and glad to play my part
in this technological revolution.
“Of course I cannot take sole credit for these
awards. At ZOL Zimbabwe, we work as a team
and believe that team work wins championships. ZOL Zimbabwe is small but a growing
company. Therefore what got us these awards
and many others is not our size, is our strength.
At the cornerstone of our value creation is the
quality of our network and the network experience that our parent company, Liquid Telecom
has worked so hard to make it possible for us to
offer such an immaculate service to homes and
business alike.
“We never let a day go by when we don’t
challenge ourselves to find ways to do things
better than we did yesterday. It’s at the very
core of our company, the core of our culture
and the drive of our employees. More work
remains to be done, because there is no point
ZOL CEO Denny Marandure
having arrived you remain. We must prove ourselves worthy of these awards and we look forward to another fruitful and productive 2017”.
While being rewarded for efforts in 2016 is a
chapter that one can always look back upon for
inspiration, it is also a fact that these awards
present ZOL a challenge to retain these prizes
in 2017 and improve on where the company
did not come out on top.
These awards are good, but as Marandure
often says: “Where better is expected, good is
not good”, thereby laying down a gauntlet that
Team ZOL has to tackle in 2017.

Provider and how you can get the best

MAZ EXCEPTIONAL MARKETING AWARDS SUPPLEMENT
Eighth Annual Marketers Convention:
Marketing to the new generation customer
THE eighth Annual Marketers Convention
was held at the Elephant Hills Resort in Victoria Falls from October 19 – 22, 2016 and
brought together senior marketers industry
leaders, business experts and academic experts from across the country who converged
to share marketing insights and discuss different issues that affect the day to day running of business. The theme of the Convention was: The New Generation Consumer:
Marketing to the Future.
One of the greatest benefits of the conference was the diversity of speakers who were
made up of top local industry professionals
as well as branding experts from the region.
One of speakers was Ethel Kuuya, a strategist
and the managing director of Advisory K. She
has conducted Strategy, transformation and
organisational projects for over 30 Organizations in Southern Africa, West Africa, United
Kingdom and United States. She is a former
senior manager in PwC (Zimbabwe and Malawi), CHRODA, and EOH KPMG Botswana
and has been a keynote speaker at various
International Events.
She emphasized on the need to dominate
in the market by simply making use of data
which will enable marketers to predict and
steer which way a product or service that will
trend, as well as understand the deep needs
of the consumer. Kuuya stressed the importance of internal collaboration. What marketers say the product of service does should be
what is on the ground.
“More importantly though you need to
have processes and systems that foster collaboration and yet most work processes
are actually designed to deter collaboration
when you look closely at it,” said Kuuya.
Another speaker from the local front was
Robin Vela. Vela is the chairman of the National Social Security Authority of Zimbabwe
(“NSSA”), an institution with over US$1,3
billion of assets under management. Vela is a
chartered accountant, a professionally qualified and experienced investment banker/ executive. He is a fellow of both the Institute
of Chartered Accountants in England and
Wales and the UK Chartered Securities Institute. Vela is also a member of the Institute
of Directors in Southern Africa and the past
Patron for the African Institute of Petroleum.
He presented on the topic: The Human Capital Factor in Promoting (driving) Innovation.
During the presentation he stated that: “Savvy leaders shape the culture of their company
to drive innovation. They know that it's culture which includes the values, norms, unconscious messages, and subtle behaviours
of leaders and employees often limit performance. These invisible forces are responsible
for the fact that 70 percent of all organisational change efforts fail.” He stressed that
organisational culture is far more important
that any strategy that could be formulated.
Lastly from the local speakers was Mellany Msengezi. She is the general manager
- Marketing for Econet Wireless Private Limited. Driven by its core values of pioneering,
professionalism and personal Econet Wireless is a company that creates value through
technology in voice, broadband and overlay
services. Msengezi has over 10 years experience in the
marketing field obtained in the various positions she
held within the organisation. She has particular experience and expertise in the areas of brand management,
product development, product management and pricing as well as project management. She presented on
the topic, “Integrating Big Data and Consumer Insights
in Business Strategy.” She emphasised that, big data
generates value from the storage and processing of
very large quantities of digital information that cannot
be analysed with traditional computing techniques.
Marketers are able to use insights into customer behavior and usage to develop new products and services
At this year’s Convention, MAZ also invited a digital
media expert, Velly Bosega. He is the founder and CEO
of AdClick Africa Media Group. He is also the publisher
of SME South Africa, an online publication dedicated
to SMEs and entrepreneurs in South Africa. Bosega has
spent the past 13 years in the media and marketing
industry. He also sits on the Mobile Marketing Association of South Africa board and the Association of Christian Media Board. His presentation was on the future
of digital media. He challenged marketers and said although advertisers collect online and offline data, but
are they converting it into targeted campaigns? He said
that there is need to use a targeted survey to collect
customer data that measure brand awareness and loyalty, engage customers and offer attractive incentives.
From Mauritius, one of the speakers was Shyam
Seebun. He is the founder and director of Institute
of Marketing and Management in Mauritius. He is a
fellow chartered marketer and has been working as a
consultant and master trainer in the area of strategic
branding and marketing for some of the top 100 rated
companies.
He posed a challenge to marketers to interrogate
what they are doing to improve country branding.
He used the case study if Mauritius and how he was
actively involved in rebranding the nation. Marketers
should be at the forefront of such activities as they are
the branding experts.
From Nigeria there was David Okeme who presented on, “Consumer Experience: the new wave in Marketing”. Okeme is a board member and marketing director
of Unilever Nigeria PLC, a fellow of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria. He is the current president
of Advertisers Association of Nigeria and a member of
the executive board of the World Advertising Federation. He pointed out that media was becoming more
complex and consumers are controlling, curating and
filtering their media experiences. He stressed that the
new breed of millennials are now transforming branding. They believe that branding is necessary but is no
longer sufficient as it must be integrated with engagement marketing. It is no longer just about awareness,
but about consistency.
From Nigeria again, there was another powerful
speaker, Joan Ihekwaba. She is a marketing executive
of UAC Foods Limited, a joint Venture Business of UAC
of Nigeria Ltd and Tiger Brands Ltd South Africa. With
over 20 years’ experience in FMCG Industry, under Unilever, she is also a member of Chartered Institute of

Why project management training
and certification is necessary
Tororiro Isaac Chaza
TAWANDA Kurasa is on cloud 19 having recently
certified as a project management professional
(PMP). Like many other thousands of professionals worldwide Isaac has been practicing both locally
and abroad for the past 10 years as an engineer, he
has worked in parastatals, private companies and
listed companies such as Liquid Telecommunications as a project manager, delivering projects worth
millions of dollars.

Why project management training and certification is necessary
From Z26
In terms of best practice in the field of project
management, despite possessing a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and an MBA qualification,
Kurasa was not recognised as a project manager
before certification. This is the predicament of
thousands of professionals out there not only in
Zimbabwe but all over the world.
As the immediate past president of Project
Management Zimbabwe (PMZ )Henry Mkhwananzi said: “It is high risk for sponsors in the
public and private sector, to entrust large scale
projects worth millions of dollars into the leadership hands of uncertified project managers”.
PMZ research has shown that the local public
sector is fraught with ‘accidental’ project managers as many people are called to undertake project management responsibilities with little or no
preparation. These ‘accidental’ project managers
are selected for their managerial/technical expertise but lack competency to deliver projects.
In Zimbabwe and, as in most sub-Saharan African countries the level of project management
training and certification is nascent, albeit ominously low, given that these countries undertake
massive infrastructural development projects.
Hence projects fail due to incompetency in project management and the lack of appropriate project governance thereof, giving rise to opportunistic corruption.
Governments of a number of developed and
emerging economies have gone to the extent of
mandating enabling policies geared towards the
acceleration of project management talent development in the public and private sectors in order
to spur economic growth support. A case in point
is the UK government, which innovated by setting up a central Major Projects Authority (MPA)
in 2011, by way of a Prime Ministerial Mandate.
The reasons for setting up the MPA were cited
thus: “There is currently no cross-governmental
understanding of the size and cost of government’s major projects portfolio, or of the cost and
viability of the projects within it. This failure will
hinder our ability to prioritise and manage these
huge costly projects,” (Prime Minister’s Mandate
on Major Projects — Gov.uk, 2011).
Similar developments have been attested in
countries, such as Canada, USA, most EU bloc
countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. where governments have pronounced the setting up of capacity development policies to enhance project
management capabilities and attendant governance. Governments are prompting project management implementation to spearhead infrastructure development and innovation for sustained
global competitiveness.
Project Management Zimbabwe is the Zimbabwe’s largest association of project managers,
among its various mandates, the institute provides guidelines for certification of project managers. There are about 750 000 PMPs worldwide
to date, and 50 percent of this number are in the
USA and EU region, while Zimbabwe has less than
100 known PMPs to date. While the PMP certification is the world’s most popular project management credential, there are other equally good
qualifications such as the PGDPM (Post Graduate
Diploma in Project Management), CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management), CPM/
DPM (Certificate & Diploma in Project Management) including the PRINCE2.
In support of the country’s national development plan the Zim-Asset programme, PMZ advocates for accelerated talent development in the
area of project management and project governance, inter alia, as a prerequisite for economic
growth support and mitigation of project failure
and the consequent corruption. Continued use of
non-certified and untrained, ‘accidental’ project
managers will have a detrimental effect of monolithic project failure and corruption in the public
and private sector, and International Development project endeavours.
It is recommended that Zimbabwe parastatals
and public organisations implementing key national development programmes and projects
such as ZESA, ZINARA, CAAZ, ZIMDEF, ZINWA
to name but a few must set up project management offices resourced by qualified and certified
project managers. The Office of the President is
the ideal authority to set up, monitor and evaluate PMBOK based government portfolio and programme management governance structures.
