We define strategy as: “The optimum allocation of appropriate and scarce resources to ensure an organisation achieves it’s full potential” In most organisations the scarcity of resources resides in human capability and investment capital. Poor application of these vital ingredients makes the goal of sustainable and winning growth difficult to achieve. Our mission is to partner with our clients in achieving their full potential within the African business environment through a pragmatic mix of rigorous analysis, strategy development, solution determination and results based implementation.
