Is your business enterprise interested in undertaking or launching a project? Are you concerned if you have crossed all the ‘Ts’ and dotted all the ‘Is’? Worry no more! We can help with your project from conceptualization through implementation and closure. We will work with you from Project prefeasibility assessments through to Project Feasibility Studies, and bankability.
You can equally be rest assured that we will outline, document and put in place mitigating mechanisms for the risks that would be associated with your project – from Social, Environmental, and Ethical risks.
Is your enterprise attuned to the policies and regulations that underpin its industry? Is your legal department staying abreast of government policy pronouncements that could negatively impact your enterprise? Is senior management leveraging existing regulatory loopholes to gain an edge over the competition?
What are your compliance levels with existing policies and regulations? Is your governance structure in line with the Statutory Policies and Regulations that underpin your business enterprise? Does your governance structure meet the contemporary norms and standards of today’s Board Rooms? Are your Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks fit for purpose?
Are you looking to engage in an investment project for which the quantum of the CAPEX is weighing you down? Are you a business enterprise, public or private, whose borrowing appetite is limited? Are you a government entity – State Owned Enterprise or Parastatal – interested in business expansion plans but limited by funding options? If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the preceding, worry no more as we can help you pursue opportunities under a Public Private Partnership initiative. Even where a PPP Framework or PPP Policy does not exist we can work with you to design an agreement that would be mutually beneficial and rewarding to the partners involved.
Is the brand of your business enterprise yielding the dividends you aspire for? Does your business enterprise have a brand image? What is your brand recognition metric? Do you have brand equity? Who is managing your brand and are they monitoring the variables and metrics that determine your brand awareness and identity?
What marketing strategy underpins your brand? What is the market reach of your marketing strategy? Are you stuck in the traditional approaches of marketing or have you joined the bandwagon in digital marketing? If yes, what is your digital marketing reach? What digital marketing channels does your business employ and is it generating 24/7 leads? Are your digital marketing strategies data driven? Are they targeted? Does your digital marketing platforms have inbuilt creative approaches to create business leads? What is your approach to Search Engine Optimization for your business enterprise?
