Our Services

strategy

Fail to plan, plan to fail!  Strategy is the lifeblood of any organisation.  Operational strategy, financial strategy, leadership strategy - all contribute to your success in the short, medium and long term.  Rest assured, your competitors have a strategy.  If you don't, you are going to be left behind.

management & leadership

Management and leadership are key to the success of any business - large or small.  We can develop, train and empower your current or prospective managers and leaders through tailored workshops, coaching and mentoring designed specifically for you.

governance & advisory

Most businesses today overlook the importance of governance and the need for objective business advisory.  Don't make a costly mistake - let us guide you through the maze of business compliance and provide you with insightful and impactful advisory services designed to empower you rather than restrain you.

business process improvement

The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  We will work with you to analyse, evaluate, redesign and implement business processes to make you and your staff more effecient and more effective.

coaching & mentoring

Personal and professional development is one of the keys to success in a competitive environment.  Our coaching and mentoring programmes are designed to help you to develop, grow and retain those employees who are committed and loyal to your business

professional facilitation

Our facilitators are some of the best in the business.  They present exciting, practical and content-rich workshops and seminars that are engaging and fun.  Don't use "boring old Bob" - a good facilitator leads to good outcomes.

analytics & research

The private and public sector run on analytics and research to make key strategic decisions.  With a significant track-record in this area, we are well positioned to help you to use past and present data to make key decisions around your business direction and future

board & governance assessment

The comprehensive reports included well-founded findings and actionable recommendations.  A notable value-add was the benchmarking of ECDC governance practices against OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance.  This analysis confirmed that the ECDC Board aligns with recognised international best practices.

strategy

GMR were appointed by the UNFPA/EC Dept of Social Development to develop and design a provincial youth development strategy.  The final product was a concrete strategy supported by a practical implementation plan and M&E framework.  The strategy also clearly linked the provincial and national youth development priorities in a clear and practical way.
