WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Most company directors and leaders say they want an experienced team who can help them achieve more. Just don’t mention business consultants.
We understand, and to be honest, we felt the same.
Zingela was born out of our experience (and frustration) with hiring different types of consulting companies. As company directors and leaders ourselves, we felt that the business consultancy model was broken. But knowing how much objective voices and specialists could help businesses achieve their goals, we set out to change the model.
Zingela sits at the cross-section of business consultancy, coaching and non-executive directorship – focused on action and making things happen, we work with you to overcome challenges, accelerate growth, exit your business and increase value. All whilst improving your organisation's resilience and bottom-line.
OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
We’re on a mission to redefine business consultancy and create a model that works effectively for SMEs.
Here’s how we do things differently:
You work with a trusted business mentor who challenges and supports you to see the bigger picture – giving you honest feedback (not just what you want to hear) and highlights any blind spots.
You retain control of your business decisions and who you work with – your mentor holds you accountable to doing what you need to do to get the result you want.
You set out the company vision and we help you create the route map for getting there – and assist you in staying focused on your priorities, building intrinsic value in your business along the way.
We only work in the gaps. You use the talent, skills and resources you have in-house and bring in expertise only when required – either to carry out the work or develop your team (thus only paying for the services you really need).
You develop a long-term relationship with a company and specialist team that understands the bigger picture, works together to connect the dots and help you execute the detail.
We believe that planning is important, but so is creating the right climate for achievement and delivery. Informed decisions and action replace lengthy documents.
