Cordicel Consulting follows a deliberate strategy of ensuring that there is a significant amount of skills transfer on all projects; especially in the public sector where there is an urgent need to build long-term capacity. The public sector especially, has a critical skills shortage especially in the area of Finance, Accounting and Taxation, and Supply Chain management rendering the implementation of some of government’s interventions difficult. By focussing on this, Cordicel Consulting aims to set itself apart. This is not to say that these shortcomings are not prevalent in the private sector. The principals and associates of Cordicel Consulting are competent to examine and apply international strategic concepts and proven best practices in a unique way, based on their understanding and a sensitivity that is unique to Southern Africa and Africa as a whole but also that is in line with best global practices.

DISTINCTIVE CAPABILITIES

We have the following distinctive capabilities, which provide us leverage in the business:

• Access to a pool of high calibre and credible professionals in the consulting business
  
  
• Highly competent, vibrant and diverse engagement team
  
  
• A commendable exposure of our team the business environment, not only in South Africa but in other Southern African countries including Zambia and Malawi
  
  
• Credible network of individuals in the government, public and private sector and our ability to leverage relationships for the benefit of our clients and our firm

PROFESSIONAL APPROACH

We believe that each task and assignment is unique, intricate and sometimes complex - no one assignment is simple and clear cut.  As such the lifestyle of our team is highly demanding and our working environment allows them to be stretched and tested in many ways as we often operate in uncharted – and difficult – territory.

Our team members are expected to adhere to strict professional standards and ethics at all times. 

We put the client’s interests and needs first.  We respect and protect client confidences and proprietary information.  We maintain an independent position throughout the engagement of the assignment and always hold frequent informal and formal progress reviews.

We commit ourselves to formulation and implementation of strategies by working on client premises that are sometimes not always near home.

We work on the premise that - work is not yet complete when we submit final reports.  We consider our work well done when we get positive feedback and results from our clients.

We believe that each team member is responsible for managing client relationships under the mentorship of the Senior Partner of the firm.  Each member assumes ownership of projects and is expected to play a key role in the analytic design and day-to-day management of the project.
