Our position

Most consulting firms write a strategy and walk away. Most creative agencies have ideas but cannot make the operating model work. We do both.

Twafiika sits at the intersection of strategy, technology and creative execution. We are the partner senior leaders call when the answer needs to be sharp and beautifully delivered.

What we do

A bespoke, end-to-end portfolio.
One team that operates as one firm.

01.

Business Advisory & Strategic Planning

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We work alongside leaders on strategic planning and facilitation, business process re-engineering, market entry, enterprise development, and the funding proposals and business plans that turn intent into capital.

02.

AI & Digital Transformation Advisory

AI strategy, digitalisation roadmaps, and the practical work of finding where the technology genuinely creates value. Grounded in real engagements, not slides.

03.

Talent Solutions & HRIS

Through Trending Career Hub, our affiliate, an AI-driven HRIS platform across the talent lifecycle: Recruit, Assess, Engage, Retain. Used by clients across multiple African markets and the United States.

04.

Corporate Governance, Policy & Audits

Board effectiveness reviews, governance frameworks and policy formulation for boards and executive committees. Including our partnership with BoardSurveys for benchmarked board assessments across Southern Africa.

05.

Brand & Communications

Every brand has a story. Brand and communications strategy, stakeholder and reputation management, crisis communications, executive profiling, and the writing services (thought leadership, op-eds, speeches, annual reports) that make a strategy land in public.

06.

Corporate & Special Events

Behind every event is a strategic intent. Conferences, board offsites, brand launches, sales incentives and milestone celebrations. Concept, programme, protocol and production handled end-to-end.

07.

Transformation & Organisational Development

We maximise the value of an organisation's primary asset: its people. Change management, employee engagement, culture work, organisational assessment and design, and diversity, equity and inclusion training.

08.

Learning & Development

Through our partnership with Enterprise Dynamics, we deliver Harvard ManageMentor's full suite of 42 leadership and management programmes across Africa. Leading yourself, leading others, leading the business.

09.

How we operate

We don't lead with values.
We operate by them.

i.
Professionalism

Show up like the room matters. Because it does.

ii.
Excellence

Great is the floor. Not the ceiling.

iii.
Integrity

We say the hard thing. We do the right thing. Both, even when no one's watching.

iv.
Value Creation

We default to yes. Then we do the extra work to make yes the right answer.

v.
Accountability

Our words, our work, our results. We sign our name to all three.

vi.
Teamwork

One team, one fight. Including the client.

The team

A core team, plus a deep network. The right people for the work, when the work needs them.

Twafiika is led by a small senior team and extends through a broad network of seasoned professionals from various industries. This structure is deliberate. It lets us bring exactly the right experience, knowledge and capacity to each engagement, without the overhead a traditional firm would carry. We bring together the best of the best, allowing the perfect mix of experience, knowledge, capacity and sustainability for each project we work on. The result for clients is cost efficiency, sharper specialisation and a team that scales up or down with the work.

Consulting + Experience + Creative
