Consultancy

Professional expertise.
Applied with purpose.

The Consultancy works with organisations that need to develop, communicate and implement ideas that create measurable social, educational, cultural or organisational value.

How the consultancy works

Every engagement begins with understanding the organisation, its audience, its objectives and the problem it is trying to solve.

The consultancy then translates that understanding into a practical strategy, programme, communication solution or implementation framework.

Understand

We examine the organisation, its environment, stakeholders, audiences, challenges and objectives.

Define

We identify the core problem, opportunity or development need and establish a clear strategic direction.

Develop

We develop the strategy, content, programme, training material, campaign or solution required by the organisation.

Implement

Where required, we support implementation, facilitation, stakeholder engagement, training and evaluation.

Areas of consultancy

Strategy & Development

Strategic planning, programme development, organisational positioning and stakeholder-focused development.

Content & Communication

Storytelling, writing, editing, communication strategy, brand development and public-facing content.

Training & Facilitation

Workshops, learning programmes, training materials, facilitation and knowledge-transfer initiatives.

Social Innovation

Development of practical ideas that connect social needs with education, communication, culture and community impact.

Research & Knowledge

Research-led development of educational, cultural and social-impact content and resources.

Public Engagement

Initiatives designed to make complex subjects accessible, participatory and relevant to wider audiences.

Consultancy engagements are structured around the specific requirements of each organisation rather than a fixed package.

South African History Retold

South African History Retold: A Beginner's Guide to the History Behind the Street Names, is the first of many volumes to come.

It is a snapshot into the lives of people that gave up their freedom and many times their lives to release South Africa from the shackles of apartheid. It is not the complete list of all the struggle heroes that fought for freedom. It is however a start.

Bio & Expertise

Khethiwe has an Honours Degree in English and a passion for teaching, writing and communications. After completing her studies, she pursued a career in Marketing. She has also worked as, amongst other jobs, a Marketing Assistant and Marketing Manager for two regional shopping centres in KZN, The Pavilion as well as Liberty Midlands Mall respectively.

Expertise

Her specialities include script and speech writing, proof reading and editing, content and brand development.

She has also turned the book into a board game.

Her passion, however, lies in instilling writing and reading skills to previously disadvantaged children. She spends most of her free time writing indigenous fairy tales for her young daughter, an activity she loves above all others.
