ULTIMATE ORGANISATIONAL SKILLS: MAXIMISE PRODUCTIVITY
“Excellent organisational skills” are often at the top of the list of requirements when it comes to recruiting administrative support staff, and the applicant is invariably convinced that they possess these skills in abundance. However, in reality, the complexity of on-the-job demands and instructions coming from all directions, can often stretch even the most confident person, and that is why BizTech is presenting a course to provide the essential practical skills that will enhance ‘natural’ organisational aptitudes and turn them into reliable, professional and consistent abilities.

Cape Town, South Africa (Venue: Table Bay Hotel)
***** A Green Power Conferences EVENT *****
CARBON MARKETS AFRICA
The main aim of the event was to encourage new project hosts entering the market and to bring together CDM project hosts with the rest of the Carbon Markets value chain to drive the industry forward. There was an extensive array of presentations and panel discussions and the main theme that emerged was that although Africa is lagging behind on CDM projects in comparison with other developing countries, there is still a lot of hope and positive action for the future. It was noted that the carbon market in Africa is growing and the potential for investment exists, so late starters can still get involved, carbon needs to be seen complementary to core business strategies. Hopes are high for continuous policies post 2012, which should increase the opportunities for Africa. This year s event will follow up on those themes and once again provide an excellent platform for business to learn about the latest developments for CDM and the Voluntary Market in Africa.
