Promoting forward thinking and moving ahead together Against a backdrop of severe travel restrictions and regulations limiting the size of indoor gatherings, the CTICC leadership team and staff faced a challenging year in 2020/2021. While 2021 saw the commencement of the vaccine rollout and the easing of some restrictions, the CTICC’s business was still severely curtailed. This called for agility and forward thinking to mitigate the restrictions’ financial impact on the CTICC.
D
ue to this, the CTICC team fully embraced its theme for 2020/21 — ‘Promoting forward thinking’ and its chess motif. Taubie Motlhabane, chief executive officer of CTICC, said: “Like many businesses, we were faced with uncontrollable challenges and obstacles, but we used these hardships as opportunities to trigger growth. “The red queen on the front cover of our Integrated Annual Report represents the characteristics that got us through a challenging year, these being passion,
innovation and agility. Her red colour also talks back to the Red Queen Hypothesis, a theory that suggests one has to run twice as fast and work twice as hard to stay on top, which was undoubtedly the case for us in this year under review.” “Like in a chess game, every piece matters — therefore we made teamwork and community a priority in the 2020/21 financial year. To succeed, we had to act strategically, together, because every move we made impacts all our futures,” she continued.
