Advisory & Transformation Services

Niche Customer Experience Consulting Firm

A Pan-African Experience Intelligence & Transformation Advisory

We help organisations translate customer, employee, product, brand, and operational experience into measurable business outcomes, including growth, efficiency, trust, and risk reduction.

Our work is advisory-led, outcome-focused, and designed to support leadership teams navigating complexity, growth, and performance pressure.

Our Core Advisory Offering

The Experience Intelligence Transformation Mandate™ (EITM™)

Your consulting work is anchored on a single flagship mandate:
the Experience Intelligence Transformation Mandate™ (EITM™).

EITM™ is a time-bound, leadership-sponsored advisory engagement designed to help organisations:

This is not a CX project.
It is a governance-and-performance mandate.

What We Support Through the Mandate

While each engagement is tailored, EITM™ typically supports organisations across the following advisory areas:

Experience Intelligence Diagnostics

We help organisations gain clear, evidence-based insight into customer, employee, product, brand, and operational experience — and how these experiences impact results.

This includes:

  • Experience and maturity diagnostics

  • CX / EX / PX / BX / OX assessments through various methods, including but not exclusive to surveys, focus groups, ethnographic research, mystery shopping, etc

  • Experience-related risk and performance reviews

Outcome:

Shared clarity and a fact base for leadership decision-making.

Strategy & Governance Design

We work with leadership teams to translate insights from customer, product, brand, employee, and operations experience into clear priorities, governance structures, and ownership.

This includes:

  • Experience-led strategy alignment

  • Executive sense-making and decision support

  • Governance, KPIs, and accountability design

Outcome:

Clear direction, alignment, and leadership ownership.

Execution-Guided Enablement™

We support organisations as agreed changes are implemented, working alongside internal teams to strengthen execution capability.

This includes:

  • Guided implementation support

  • Capability building for CX, service, and operations teams

  • Leadership and frontline enablement

Outcome:

Improved execution without dependency on external consultants.

Oversight & Performance Stewardship

We provide ongoing advisory support to help leadership teams monitor progress, manage experience-related risk, and sustain performance improvements.

This includes:

  • Periodic executive and board-level reviews

  • Performance and risk monitoring

  • Adjustment of priorities as maturity evolves

Outcome:

Experience becomes a sustained performance and governance lever.

Who We Work With

We work across multiple sectors, including but not limited to financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, energy, retail, oil & gas, autodealership, manufacturing, education, and the public sector.
