We're in the relationship 

building business

For over 15 years we have supported hundreds of organisations to achieve complex yet sustainable change, we understand that for any project to succeed it has to start with people.

Feel right at home. Our teams integrate seamlessly into your own, making sure we work with you, not for you

You won’t find cookie cutter approaches here. Our approach to every problem is with fresh eyes and ears, making sure that we listen to what you need, why you need it, and when you need it by

Some things you should know about us.

01

Don’t call
us consultants

Since our inception, we have actively worked to disrupt what we believe are bad practices in consulting.

02

We don’t land
and expand

We will only ever work on the same project scope for a maximum of 2 years, by which time we will have trained your people to keep going without us.

03

We shy away from time and materials billing

Unless you specifically need our Rainmakers to T&M, we always fix-price our work to key deliverables and outcomes. We believe in our abilities enough to carry all the risk, which is why you should too.

04

We are purposely
technology agnostic

We run market assessments for our clients, and at times sit on their tender and recruitment panels. This requires true integrity. It is why we work with everyone, partner with no one.

05

We are a profit
for purpose organisation

Our profit helps change the lives of some of our most vulnerable people here and abroad. From our work supporting victims of trafficking through to our very own charity breaking the cycle of poverty in townships.

06

We are not
an outsourcer

Although you should definitely leverage the market for some of the components your products and services will need, you should never need to outsource how you decide and design what your organisation offers. Which is why we co-design with your people, run regular playbacks to share analysis, and train your people as you bring your services to life.
