What matters

From 5 to over 50 employees in under 6 months.

Context and challenges

  • A company less than a year old that had raised several hundred million FCFA.
  • Growth from 5 to over 50 employees in under 6 months, with the goal of doubling again quickly.
  • Almost no business procedures and no effective management tool.
  • Four priorities: a real governance strategy (3-year vision), business processes, an ERP to run operations, staff training.

Our approach

  • Governance diagnosis: interviews, mapping of business and IT processes, identification of pain points.
  • Action plan to overhaul activity tracking, and a 3-year governance strategy.
  • ERP adoption, business procedures written and staff trained; a control plan ensures procedures are followed.
  • A consultant staffed for 6 months to follow the rollout of the new organisation chart, key meetings and decision-support reports.

Results for the client

  • A clear organisation chart for the next three years.
  • Business procedures in place and trained staff.
  • An ERP that meets the company’s needs.
  • Well-prepared, useful executive and management committees.
  • Precise, concise reports.
