Organisational Capacity Assessment & Planning

Organisational capacity assessments (OCA) help entities address two essential needs, capacity building and operational effectiveness. Organisational capacity encompasses the wide range of capabilities, knowledge, and resources that organisations need to be effective. We develop organisational capacity assessment tools (OCAT) that are unique to each client. The assessment process helps clients prioritise and plan capacity strengthening needs across their most important functional areas.

Executive Recruitment

We approach executive recruitment with one prevailing aim in mind, finding the best fit. We amass a pool of the best qualified and from that pool our focus is fit. Beyond the box-checking of a defined job description, our searches revolve around an “Ideal Candidate Profile”. A profile that reflects the most important needs and aspirations of the organisation in the near and medium-term, organisational culture and the institutional vision that drives the everyday mission
