Consulting and Capacity Services Finding and retaining resources with the right skills and experience for your organisation can be challenging, especially when you need to swiftly scale teams up and down to match business demands.

LSI is a dynamic management consulting house that consists of a group of highly qualified and experienced professional consultants with capabilities reaching across a wide variety of industries. We offer a unique solution to the resource challenges of our clients and the need for experienced consulting resources that can immediately make a contribution to their business.

A dedicated marketing team focuses on securing assignments for our consultants, enabling them to focus on the deliverables and desired outcomes of their current projects. This, as well as significant profit share incentives, significantly increases LSI’s retention of consulting resources.

Continuous performance evaluations by clients, project team members and the LSI Performance Management Committee ensure that the required standards and quality of our consultants is maintained. The results of these performance evaluations directly impact our consultants’ participation in LSI’s profit share incentives and future utilisation on projects, motivating them to deliver and perform consistently and effectively.

Our knowledge management system and regular training interventions enable our consultants to keep up to date with best practise consulting methodologies, developments, technologies and solutions. Our close working relationship with the IMC (Institute of Management Consultants and Master Coaches of South Africa) also contributes significantly to the quality of our consultants.

Resource Selection LSI’s strict selection criteria and processes offer our clients peace of mind in the knowledge that our consultants are highly experienced and hand-picked for each specific project.

The minimum selection criteria for LSI consultants are: - An appropriate tertiary qualification. - Experience as a professional consultant for at least 10 years. - Experience as a management consultant for at least 3 years.

Our consultants are selected for their valuable self-management capabilities, entrepreneurial mind-sets, specialised skill-sets and industry specific experience. These attributes are critical for the successful completion of challenging consulting assignments. Preference is given to consultants with international consulting house experience.

Psychometric testing, letters of recommendation from previous assignments and thorough verification of qualifications, experience and references as well as a series of individual interviews ensure that only the cream of consulting talent is accepted. The stringent selection process significantly reduces the business risk to our clients.

Resource Mobilisation We are successful at delivering fast-track consulting resourcing services to our clients due to the quality, diversity and experience of our consortium members in virtually every functional and professional business discipline.

Resources can be deployed within a two week period on 80% of assignments. Our consultants will seamlessly integrate with your business processes. Little or no learning curves are required due to their strong industry experience, existing tested and proven team dynamic, academic backgrounds and dedication to constantly updating their business and technical knowledge.

A unique blend of technology and hands-on project management is deployed to deliver the best resource for each consulting assignment and to manage on-going performance and communication.
