Operations + B-BBEE

Production Optimisation & B-BBEE Strategic Realignment

Challenge

A mid-sized Gauteng manufacturer faced declining throughput and an imminent B-BBEE verification cycle that risked dropping a full level.

Approach

We combined a lean diagnostic on the production line with a full B-BBEE strategy refresh, identifying ownership and skills-development levers while redesigning the shift structure to eliminate bottlenecks.

Intelligence

Competitive Intelligence Programme for a Niche Insurer

Challenge

An insurer entering a new segment lacked visibility into competitor pricing, distribution, and product structures — and was flying blind into a crowded market.

Approach

We built a structured competitive intelligence framework, combining public-source analysis, broker interviews and pricing intelligence into a quarterly intelligence brief with an early-warning dashboard.

Strategy + Continuity

Business Continuity Framework & Strategy Definition

Challenge

A state-owned entity operating critical infrastructure needed a defensible business continuity framework to meet regulatory expectations and protect service delivery through disruption.

Approach

We ran a full business impact analysis, designed a BCM policy and framework aligned to ISO 22301, and equipped the client with playbooks, training, and a tabletop exercise programme.

Operations + Tech

Operations Dashboard Rollout & Tech-Enabled Scorecards

Challenge

A regional logistics operator had fragmented operational data across depots, making it impossible to compare performance or intervene before issues escalated.

Approach

We deployed a technology-enabled operations dashboard integrated with their existing systems, alongside B-BBEE scorecards that gave leadership live compliance visibility alongside operational KPIs.
