Self-accountability:
Our personal ethics are the foundations to our professional ethics. We are responsible for own actions and
attitudes. We do what we do because we want to and we love what we do. Thus we hold ourselves to the
highest standards and responsibility. It is only in our capacity to be accountable for everything we do. As
clients, you can hold us accountable for the commitments we jointly agree to.
Creativity:
Creativity is a vital business skill in generating solutions and retaining a competitive edge. Uncertainty and
change energise us. We are driven to constantly look for fresh approaches and new ideas in everything we do,
anchored in the knowledge, experience and capabilities in our diverse fields of expertise.
Innovation:
We are restlessly driven to always infuse and introduce something new in everything that we do. We do not
just think about new ways of doing things, we bring them to life by implementing them.
Passion:
We get immense fulfilment and joy in what we have chosen to do with our lives, which is the best motivation
we need to achieve what we set out to do and to meet the commitments we make. We are constantly
rejuvenated to find solutions for ourselves and for the people we work with.

7. Our Proprietary Advantage
We are trans-disciplinary talent with multi-sectoral experience, thinking and approaches
which we leverage for competitive and comparative advantage for our clients and our brand.
We are strategic resources and talents with the minimum qualification of a Masters and 10
years management experience. Therefore we have equivalent and divergent skills, experience
and knowledge as executive managers and board members bringing practical, not bringing
off the shelf solutions, but the appropriate capabilities, skills and expertise that can respond
and add value to the existing situation and challenges.
We excel in frontier thinking and establishing next practices rather than being held hostage
by best practices of yesterday.
As a team, we are adept in generating innovative, ground-breaking strategies, insights and
solutions for 21st century challenges as our expertise are skewed towards expert generalist
knowledge rather than rigid specialist knowledge. This affords us the ability to strike the right
balance between depth and breadth of knowledge to be effective partners to facilitate that
clients see the possibilities, have the courage and the knowledge to do the right things, the
first time.
We have strategic and operational experience and proficiency to translate vision into reality
by implementing the right solutions skillfully and efficiently.
