- Institutional and organisational reviewWe review one institutional unit’s mandate, structure, processes and controls, and return options and a prioritised action memo that leadership can decide on.→
- Pay, grading and salary-structure designWe test a defined set of roles against a grading method and design the structure around it, stating exactly which salary data is and is not available, so the result can be defended.→
- Strategic plan developmentWe facilitate a strategy diagnostic and a decision workshop with your leadership, then write the full plan and its implementation matrix, so the strategy says what will be done, by whom and how progress will be seen.→
- Executive AI literacy and board AI-governance dayA sector-specific session for boards and executives on what AI means for their institution: the real uses, the real risks and the governance decisions only leadership can make. You leave with draft actions for approval, not a signed policy.→
- Strategic management & leadership workshopsFacilitate one real strategic decision with a prepared simulation and a written decision/action record.→
- Executive mentoringA recurring decision session with Prof. Wisdom Gagakuma, prepared in advance and followed by a concise brief after each conversation.→
- Independent director and advisory-board appointmentsWe put forward a principal’s board or advisory profile against a real appointment brief, after a conflicts and availability review, so both sides know the fit before anyone commits.→

Strategic plan template
Set out your purpose and priorities, then give every objective a measure, a target, an owner and a review date. The template drafts the plan outline and checks that nothing is left without someone accountable for it.

Training budget calculator
Enter your participants, cohort size, sessions and your own cost quotes. The planner separates fixed from variable costs, shows the cost per participant and per learning hour, and compares cohort sizes side by side.

AI inventory template
List every AI system and use in your organisation with its owner, data, impact on people and human review. The register ranks what to review first by a published rubric, without pretending to certify anything.

AI policy template
Choose what your organisation allows, what data must never go into AI tools, who is accountable and how outputs are reviewed. The template drafts policy clauses and lists every decision still open, ready for a leadership workshop.

Cash flow forecast template
Start from your cash today, add monthly receipts and payments with growth rates and any one-off items, and see the balance month by month in three scenarios. The planner shows your runway and reconciles every month so the numbers always add up.

Decision memo template
Set out the decision, the real options including doing nothing, the evidence behind each and what is still unknown. The builder produces a one-page brief that makes an hour with an adviser, or your board, far more useful. The decision stays yours.
