Hole in one for business
The event doesn’t only offer a chance to show off hard-won golfing skills, but also an opportunity to network and build key business relationships.
Vuyani Jarana, Chief Officer Vodacom Business, is looking forward to the chance to meet customers old and new. He says: ‘This tournament is the opportunity for us to interact with golfers when they are on and off the field.'
A round of golf is also time and space away from the office to consider one of the key challenges facing businesses small and large: predicting and being Ready for the future. Change is happening at an unprecedented rate – to thrive in an uncertain world, businesses need to be flexible, responsive and always connected.
