Management

PEMconsult E.A provides management services in many forms and approaches management from a number of complementary angles. However, PEMconsult E.A. rarely provides direct management, but rather works by assisting managers to develop their own effective management capabilities and tools. At the level of the organisation, we support the development of overall institutional capacity for management, by emphasising teamwork. Our specific approach to management in a given situation is always based on the PEMconsult E.A. principle of “putting people first”. Good management practice is essential for success. This applies to persons, groups, institutions, projects and programmes. When advising on management, we are guided by the saying: “When advising a person, the consultant must meet the person where she or he is”. In PEMconsult E.A. we put this into practice by always approaching management challenges as perceived and experienced by the person or institution requesting our services. Our core areas of significant expertise include: Capacity Building and Empowerment Good Governance, Institutional Development, and Decentralisation Human Resources Development (HRD) Financial Management Policy Analysis and Planning Public Sector Performance Improvement Privatisation – Market & Business Orientation
