Services
Invaluable support at peak growth points
Our comprehensive range of high-impact training courses, and consulting and business advisory services focus on fast-tracking value for our clients at peak growth points, such as during acquisitions, expansions and new market entries.
Each service is tailored to suit our clients, their specific growth objectives and their individual expansion strategy.
Business Consulting
Unlocking value
Having spearheaded multinational organisations' operations in emerging markets for more than 25 years, we have a keen understanding of the challenges of working in these territories.
Using this experience as a benchmark, we have developed a unique consulting approach to assisting companies looking to the emerging markets - specifically Africa - for growth.
This approach comprises two distinct areas:
- Defining our clients' priorities and short- to long-term profitable growth opportunities
- Our thorough business assessment tools interrogate organisations' life cycles, brands, products, services, customers and markets, as well as their goals for short, medium and long-term profitable growth.
- Implementing a compact methodology and practical set of tools to identify and unlock value
- The methodology focuses specifically on profitable, accelerated growth; improving cash management; elevating organisational culture; and maximising income statement drivers.
Training & Courses
Accelerating value generation for businesses
Working in management positions in multinationals operating in Africa provided us with first-hand experience of how top performing talent, despite their heavyweight skill sets, battle to adjust to emerging market conditions.
Understanding the need by corporates to train their employees to the highest standards, but also the challenges that come with working in these countries, we have formulated training programmes that bridge the gap between developed market learning and developing market execution.
These courses include Jumpshift Worth, an intensive, industry-accredited training programme that empowers delegates with the essential knowledge needed to successfully run a high performance organisation in emerging markets.
This programme is suited to:
- New and early career phase employees
- Middle management and transitional phase employees (departmental responsibilities)
- Top management (general management responsibilities - Non Exec Directors)
The programme can be tailored to each organisation's needs, and adapted specifically for:
- Management development
- Continuous improvement
- Enterprise supplier development
- Small and medium enterprises
- One on one coaching
- In-house training
By delivering integrated business acumen and skills development, Jumpshift Worth assists in:
- Accelerating decision making for improved organisational growth
- Mitigating the risks of poorly informed decision making
- Providing business simulations for real world readiness
- Increasing innovative and systems thinking
- Reducing complexity while increasing flexibility
- Saving organisations money

Business Advisory
Strategic insights from the ground

Tailored, informed strategies for maximum success
Our vast experience working in African markets has taught us that new market entries are most likely to fail as a result of:
- Inappropriate (or non-existent) strategies
- A lack of development of local talent
- Insufficient experience and knowledge of the local market
- Attempting to transfer country-specific models from other markets to Africa
We know every country comes with its own unique set of challenges and operating conditions, which is why we only craft and implement strategies based on our own insights and hands-on experiences of these markets.
This ensures that our clients are able to adopt an informed approach to their growth strategies, effectively reducing the risk of new market failure.

- Identifying prospects that most advantageously balance risk with reward
