September gave us a clearer view of a sector adapting to significant change.

𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐀81 brought global leaders together. What stood out from the deliberations was restoring trust, managing transformation, and delivering for global citizens at large.

Our engagements within the sector show greater attention to private-sector funding and corporate-targeted campaigning, alongside campaign strategies that are becoming more creative and deliberate in reaching high-level decision-makers. At the same time, technological change is reinforcing the importance of something fundamentally human: strong leadership, collaboration, sound judgement and the ability to build and sustain effective teams. Organisations still need leaders who can bring people with them, strengthen collaboration and build effective teams through periods of change.

We saw these dynamics reflected in our own work during September. One search reminded us that getting the right match sometimes requires stepping back, reassessing and recalibrating rather than simply pushing the process forward. Another reinforced the idea that a successful search starts with a shared understanding of what success in the role actually looks like not halfway through the process, but from the outset.

September emphasised for us that navigating change is ultimately about making thoughtful decisions about 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

You can’t close an early learning gap you can’t clearly see.

Nearly 30% of South Africa’s four-year-olds are estimated not to be enrolled in an Early Learning Programme, and children outside these programmes show poorer early learning outcomes than their enrolled peers.

DataDrive2030 turns early learning data into meaningful insights, helping to make these gaps visible and giving policymakers, practitioners and partners the evidence they need to direct resources, strengthen interventions and track progress.

Their latest work on South Africa’s early learning access gap highlights four priorities for strengthening the evidence behind decisions about early learning.

We’re pleased to partner with DataDrive2030 and to spotlight work that shows what becomes possible when better evidence informs the decisions that matter.

Better data. Better decisions. Better beginnings.

What does this role actually need to achieve?

Which capabilities are essential from day one?

What can be developed?

What expertise needs to sit within the role, and what can sit elsewhere in the organisation?

And is the role designed in a way that reflects what the organisation genuinely needs?

These are questions worth answering before beginning the search for the right person.

Sometimes the answer is a sharper brief.

Sometimes it changes the assumptions behind the appointment.

And sometimes it confirms that the organisation was asking for exactly the right things, but needed to articulate them differently.

Sometimes an organisation knows it needs different capacity, but the role itself still needs to be defined.

Sometimes the question is whether the existing structure can support it's next phase.

And sometimes the appointment is clear and the search is ready to begin.

We work with organisations at each of these points.

That may mean helping to define the need and shape the appointment before beginning the search. Or it may mean leading the executive search itself: identifying, approaching and assessing the people best equipped to deliver what the organisation needs next.

If an appointment is on the horizon, the conversation can start before the brief is finished.

August gave us much to appreciate.

This month, we hosted our first Leadership Readiness Briefing: creating space for leaders to think beyond today’s vacancies and consider the capabilities their organisations will need for what comes next.

In our recent LinkedIn poll, 49 respondents shared how their organisations are responding. Reduced headcount featured most strongly, followed by diversified funding sources, merged roles and delayed recruitment.

But the wider picture is more nuanced.

Organisations are reconsidering where teams are based, how they're structured and, increasingly, how they partner with others. Decentralisation, collaboration and the ability to demonstrate greater collective impact are becoming part of that conversation.

These are themes we're hearing increasingly across the sector, including in conversations at Philea earlier this year.
