What Makes KI Unique
Deep-Seated Local Ties
We are an African company with roots firmly planted in Africa. We have seen the continent emerge as a serious player on the world stage, and we have helped foster that development the right way. But there is still much work to be done, and local expertise is paramount to success in this corner of the world. We know the land, the people, the leaders and the customs. We have unparalleled local capabilities and a global perspective, which allows us to deliver a wide variety of client-owned solutions informed by global best practices and tailored to the local reality.
Long-Established International Experience
For 25 years, we have developed partnerships with the best the world has to offer. Whether it's bringing in a specific industry expertise to help with a local project, conducting training or study tours, or assisting a global enterprise on the ground, KI is a portal to the world. We leverage our unmatched history, scale, scope, and geography in emerging, developing and transitioning countries in Africa and beyond.
Staunch Beliefs
We believe in mutual respect, and we embrace empowerment, fairness and teamwork. Our value system can be summed up by the acronym, SOAR: Service, Openness, Advancement and Respect.
Scope of Service
We combine the capability and global reach of a large management consulting and training company with the intimacy of a local organization. Our member-firm structure allows us to truly know the lay of the local land while offering the benefits and support of our international experts.
At KI, we value integrity and transparency, and we are committed to bringing our clients’ goals to fruition while providing opportunities for our local staff to learn, grow and succeed. Primarily serving public, commercial, and civil society organizations, KI delivers customized, demand-driven solutions with affordable expertise and resources. We unpack clients’ organizational development gaps, examine missions, align operational architecture with business objectives, and improve overall performances.
