In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, organizations often turn to external consultants for fresh perspectives and expertise. These consultants bring in-depth knowledge and experience to help companies identify areas for improvement, streamline processes, and unlock new opportunities.
GRACARO is an organization that focuses on reaching out to the vulnerable persons in the society and bringing hope to the hopeless. Despite its success, the organization’s leadership recognized the need for change to maintain a competitive edge and adapt to evolving customer demands. Seeking external guidance, the organization enlisted the services of a seasoned consultant, Mr Ngwathe Modest, a financial consultant.
Equipped with insights from what the organization is all about, the consultant collaborated closely with the leadership team to develop a tailored strategy for transformation. This involved setting up clear goals, outlining a roadmap, and defining key performance indicators to measure progress. The strategy emphasized leveraging the organization’s core competencies while embracing innovation.
The consultants visit began with an extensive discovery phase, with the consultant revealing his reason for coming; the consultant’s visit is geared at reviewing the organization’s activities, urging the members present that, his visit is in a bid to use his consultancy skills to see the growth of the organization as well as getting funding thereby gaining the trust of funders.
The visit is also geared towards developing a standard template that can be used not just in Cameroon, but beyond. To him, there are tools that if funders don’t find in projects, the projects can’t be funded. His aim is to build these tools with GRACARO.
With the strategy in place, the consultant is working alongside the organization’s employees to implement the necessary changes. This was during an interrogative segment between the employees and the consultant. This phase involved fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and empower employees to improve new ways of working.
At the end of the meeting, the CEO of GRACARO, Mr Chiabi Martin thanks the financial consultant on behalf of all employees for paying a visit to the organization and striving to make the organization go forward.
