We engage clients on how to best utilize the human capital and available technology at their disposal to manage their affairs successfully. Together, we map out existing capacity assets and needs, evolve a vision, formulate a strategy (with an appropriate budget), manage, implement; and evaluate. Our approach is guided by three key questions:
a) What change do you seek?
b) What specific strategies and actions are needed achieve this?
c) What kinds of capacities need to be developed to achieve the desired change?

We work with clients to systematically gather, organize, share, adapt, use, and re-create knowledge (both explicit and tacit) to enhance organization efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, and empowerment systematically and routinely. Our hands-on and participatory approach capacitates clients to enhance a learning culture that advances their ability to learn from results, evolve fit-for-purpose practices, and to improve project workspaces and their management.

We undertake thorough evaluations (i.e., end project, impact, mid-term) employing both quantitative and qualitative methods in response to the requirements of a client. Our methodological approaches are always aligned to the specific goals of each evaluation and aimed at ensuring an objective and systematic assessment of the achieved results, implementation strategies and progress to meet the overall and specific objectives, and documentation of lessons learnt. We also document lessons learned to inform future initiatives or course-correct ongoing activities.

We provide expert assistance with the design of research projects and the analysis (qualitative and quantitative) of data aimed at solving complex problems and providing critical information and knowledge to clients. In addressing your needs, we draw on our myriad experience initiating and managing large-scale development and policy research.

We collaborate with clients to identify and manage the lifecycle to be employed, apply it to the user-centered design process, formulate the project team, and efficiently guide the team through all phases until project completion. Our team is grounded in all the key areas of knowledge in project management (i.e., integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, HR, communications, risk, and procurement). Throughout the project lifecycle we ensure that the purpose/vision and goals of the project are upheld, support the client’s tasks and objectives, mitigate/avoid risks, and effectively and efficiently utilize available resources. We ensure team members understand their roles & responsibilities, expected deliverables, and the schedule required to complete the project on time and within budget.

We leverage evaluation findings, internal audit, information technology, and data analytics to help businesses build their data management and analytics framework. Our experts can help with managing data silos, data integrity, knowledge gaps and training, control evaluation, and assurance. We help you break down your data into accessible structures and enable your team to make informed decisions by uncovering trends and providing actionable interpretation.

We offer a modular course premised on the belief that today’s leaders (i.e., corporate and public sector executives) operate in a very complex interconnected world, which impacts decision making. Leaders, thus, need to be conversant with the behavior of interconnected systems to make effective decisions under varying strategic and risk scenarios. Our modules are grounded in theory and rich in experiential exposure. We provide applications to specific contexts—industry, sectors, geography, and policies. Our methodology blends content, behaviors, and skills.

We design, manage, and facilitate dialogue forums (i.e., workshops/seminars and conferences) at the local, regional, and global level, working closely with clients/stakeholders to deliver an event that meets all their expectations and enables them to achieve the desired objectives and end goals.
