Strategy, Organisational Design & Performance Consulting
Growth, restructuring and institutional change need more than a plan. SRC helps leadership teams see clearly what is holding performance back — and align people, structures and priorities so the strategy can actually be delivered.
Built for these clients.
- Leadership teams and boards of growing businesses
- Government departments, public entities and state-owned institutions
- Development organisations and programme implementers reviewing their delivery model
Where clients come to us.
- Responsibilities, decision rights and reporting lines that overlap or are unclear
- A strategy that exists on paper but is not translating into results
- An operating model that no longer fits the organisation's size or mandate
- Leadership and performance systems that don't drive accountability
- Change initiatives that stall because people and structures were not considered

Questions clients ask.
Do you only work with large organisations?
No. We work with public institutions, development organisations and growing private businesses. The scope is sized to the organisation and the decision at hand.
How long does an organisational diagnosis take?
It depends on the size of the organisation and how much information is available. Timelines are agreed during the scoping conversation.
Will you facilitate our strategy session?
Yes. Strategic planning facilitation is one of our core capabilities, and we can combine it with diagnostic work so the session starts from evidence.
Do you help with implementation?
We can support change management and performance systems after the strategy is agreed, if the mandate includes it.
Do you work outside South Africa?
Yes. Our offices are in Sandton (Johannesburg), Rondebosch (Cape Town) and Harare, and we welcome enquiries from across Africa. Delivery arrangements are agreed for each mandate.
