Who we are
Statement of Philosophy
Sigma Seven is to continue to invest in developing in market knowledge of our consultants to ensure that they can combine their skills with a good understanding of the environment in which our clients operate. Our practice is based on the following:
i. Rendering valuable professional services in the most cost effective and efficient manner.
ii. Provide creative and adoptive solutions that are practical and realistic.
iii. Commit to the highest ethical standards in the industry.
iv. Forster a culture of diversity among our consultants to ensure deeper and wider analysis of situations.
v. Create a working environment and culture within our firm that inspire innovation and creativity.
The impact of globalization and liberalization of trade has been to unleash stiff competition. Change is more rapid and unpredictable. Survival and sustainability is more uncertain. Business leaders face a greater challenge to steer through the rather chaotic marketplace. Most projects and businesses see seasons change but do nothing or make wrong responses.
To survive and thrive, projects, businesses and generally all enterprises must learn to sniff changing needs of stake holders and adapt. Adaptive projects and enterprises will remain relevant and profitable. But to be adaptive means to constantly monitor and evaluate project development in line with current environment. A project design is the totality of how a project selects its target audience, defines and differentiates its service offering, defines the tasks it will perform itself and those it will outsource, how it configures its resources, and creates value for all stakeholders. This means a change in strategy, structure, systems, leadership, staff and organizational culture every time there is change in the environment. Monitoring and evaluation assist analyse project goals at the start of the project in comparison with the new environment at every stage of the project implementation process. We believe that through stakeholder collaboration and strategic partnership with project implementers, we can help create adaptive and sustainable projects that meet the desired goals to the benefit of the target audience.
