engage. enable. evolve

We live in a busy world, fi lled with challenge and complexity. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. We know that we need to take time to plan, strategise, connect and align, yet this can feel like a frustrating delay that only puts further pressure on fi nite resources.

At Empanda we have listened carefully to what business leaders have said they need to support the journeys they are leading. We have used these insights to design light, energising, fun opportunities that are purposeful and highly effective across a full suite of leadership needs.

Our journeys can be leveraged easily by leaders to drive forward momentum, lifting motivation and aligning teams to sustainably deliver results. We make it easy to enjoy our leadership role and accelerate progress toward the outcomes we are reaching for.

We are passionate about supporting our clients to vision and lead the change journeys needed to deliver an inspired future. We believe that opportunities to play, fi nd purpose and realise potential build our motivation and our momentum, unlocking our power to collaborate and create. We believe in enabling caring, mindful, and strategic approaches that look after people and our planet, as a part of our world view on prosperity.

Our core offering is a series of motivational journeys delivering outcomes across four domains, each central to the role that leaders play:

• Innovation - how we evolve • Collaboration - how we work as a team• Nurture - how we look after our people• Sustain - how we stay the distance

Our journeys are presented in our Empanda Inspiration Centre, a venue that is designed purposefully to be the perfect space for meaningful connection. We also have a virtual collaboration platform that enables online interactive experiences and learning (calibrated to each client’s specifi c needs), in order to to reach bigger communities, anywhere, and any time.

We also have drawn together a powerful network of coaches, change managers, storytellers and learning facilitators who deliver both our journeys and who produce the animated stories and eLearning products needed to support our journeys.

Our fl agship offering is our OASIS leadership journey, which blends coaching, consulting and learning calibrated to each client and deeper sustainable

change by supporting leaders to motivate for the transformation they want to see.

Our Oasis leadership journey blends coaching, learning and consulting to create an active experience that leaders leverage to motivate for transformational change.

Every OASIS journey is different, calibrated and branded for your organisation. The experience actively involves teams and has a consistent underlying philosophy based upon a robust approach designed to lift motivation and ultimately performance.

At Empanda we have grouped the most common leadership needs into areas that leaders often want to focus upon. This gives leaders a holistic (and ever expanding) range of journeys to leverage. All our journeys are fun and motivational, and each also has a purpose that helps your travellers take accelerated and inspired steps ahead.

The innovation domain is about inspiring and empowering wider motivational leadership. It is about strategising and getting creative in visioning our pathway to the future, motivating our teams for excellence, and mobilising change journeys with clear destinations and pathways. Here we set the foundations for inspired and purposeful change that delivers value and growth for all our stakeholders.

The collaborate domain focuses on ‘us’, unifying teams, understanding our strengths, connecting as people, recognising our success, as well as inspiring ourselves for future brilliance. We bring teams together for light and purposeful fun, often emerging with stories to share. We bring in creative activities that show that our sum is more than our individual parts, valuing our diversity and our blend of skills and honing our sense of identity.

The nurture domain focuses on enabling wellbeing through a better understanding of ourselves and our connection to the wider world. We enhance and empower our confi dence, our communication and our ability to achieve beautiful balance in our lives, so that we are fresh, aligned, empowered and ready to perform, supported by an enduring foundation that fuels ongoing success and positive motivation.

The sustainability domain focuses on our stakeholders, ethics, governance and the value that we are creating to support a better world, within and beyond our organisation. We consider the value of relationships, the importance of leadership that curates with care, and what it means to be virtuous and to drive authentic transformation in an evolving and constantly innovating world.

The OASIS journey builds play, purpose and potential directly into your organisational culture, guiding your leaders through an immersive experience with employees and the wider organisation. It is designed to build motivation, enhancing both employee and customer value propositions.

THE 2030AGENDA

OUR ACTION TO DELIVER

EMPANDAABOUT

Empanda is a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. It calls on companies to align to universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. It’s purpose is to take action to advance societal interests. We are honoured to do work for the UNGC in New York where we support the online Academy with eLearning and video animation. We are also partners with the Global Compact Network of South Africa, having produced the private sector contribution to the recent South African Voluntary National Review of action to deliver the 2030 Agenda.

We are actively involved in facilitating a Sustainable Development Goal Accelerator kit, designed to make it easier for South African companies to align action to drive sustainability with national development priorities and internal work to deliver B-BBEE compliance in an authentic way that maximises the transformational action that stakeholders want. If you are interested in partnering with us on this initiative we would love to hear from you. We want to support the creation of a platform where companies can easily share resources, including access to the initiatives they are funding to deliver transformation for each of the goals.

Empanda is proudly Level 4 B-BBEE accredited.Our transformation action is aligned to the Global Goals, as prioritised by our employees.

OUR PRIORITY SDG’S

United NationsGlobal Compact

Global CompactNetwork South Africa

Empanda has taken a deep interest in action to combat corruption. Our Shining Panda interns recently published motivational videos through our storytelling process as a call to action for South Africa. These video stories were launched at the Daily Maverick Business Against Corruption event.

One of the core objectives of our motivational Empanda journeys is to build proactive resilience against corruption into organisational culture, future proofi ng our organisations. We are passionate about effective governance and are proactive members of the IoDSA.

ACTION TO COMBATCORRUPTION

Empanda was formed in 2014, working in the digital transformation space. Big technical transformation programmes are hard places to empower people, and to this day we place talented consulting specialists with our clients to support innovation projects. As part of our mission to help our clients evolve we noticed patterns and repeated challenges and became curious about what we could do to help.

We realised that external consultants can only go so far to enable and deliver strategic transformation. Without internal leadership and capacitated teams the seeds of change land on hard ground. We began to wonder what Empanda could do to help our clients build internal capabilities to lead innovation and to empower teams. This has lead to the development of our leadership experience, the OASIS Journey, a fl ag ship that is now delivering signifi cant results for our clients.

Empanda is the Roman goddess of asylum, charity, and hospitality. Her temple distributed food to those in need. Her name means “to open”. Originally a goddess of the countryside, Empanda is essentially a welcoming inspiration. For us, she represents the spirit of friendship, trust, and sharing. She is a muse for our desire to bring people together to share knowledge, to open ourselves to our creativity, and to collaborate on innovation. Empanda is dedicated to supporting engagement, enablement and evolution of journeys toward a sustainable, inclusive and beautiful future world.

Our leadership avatar is based on a dragonfl y. We love it’s shimmering and agile beauty. Able to move quickly in any direction. Remember that the dragonfl y is born under pressure, a simple and unevolved creature that transforms and evolves into its future form.

Our OASIS leaders then gave us further insights. When focusing on empowering people, rather than executing tasks, a signifi cant appetite emerged for ways to engage and evolve teams. We listened to these needs, and designed our Empanda Journeys. This range of one day experiences is designed for business leaders to make leadership focus easy, purposeful and fun.

Our journeys are all created to lift, excite and motivate people, refreshing us and building our feeling of play, purpose and potential. The Journeys are delivered from our Inspiration Centre, a special space out of the offi ce where we can breathe, connect, and collaborate. We seek to delight you with the infi nite possibilities.

If you don’t see a Journey for you,ask us and we will evolve!
