With businesses and institutions facing ever more complex challenges and issues, our Performance Improvement (PI) services help them to transform in order to sustain their growth and scale their activities.

Our teams work with businesses to identify opportunities to craft winning strategies, harness people potential, improve daily operations, achieve cost efficiencies and effectively go to market. Performance Improvement is essentially about improving functions, systems, processes and procedures with the intention of improving overall outcomes. We therefore provide deep industry and sector expertise to bear in strategy, HR and organisational design, organisational development, operations, finance, customer and governance and risk. Our aim is to improve the performance of businesses and organisations so that they are in a better position to make a difference in society.

Global inequalities are increasing. Disparities today are about the same as they were in the early 20th Century. Many people are being left behind due to lack of access to opportunities and persistent forms of discrimination which leaves individuals, families and communities marginalised and excluded. It is necessary that stakeholders focus on the inequalities in our society that undermine the agency of people.

Our Development Sector Advisory Services (DSAS) helps to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by working with players in the development, social and religious sectors. The work we do under DSAS helps to further the economic well-being and the quality of life of individuals and communities. We work across various sectors and facets of society including youth, women and persons with disabilities, agriculture, governance and justice, healthcare, entrepreneurship, SMEs and trade, and climate, water and the environment to transform the lives of people, for better and for good. We couple DSAS with our other advisory services such as Strategic Planning to provide our partners in the development sector with holistic solutions so that they are able to deliver impact and accountability.

Deciding to enter new markets, products and ventures takes courage and strategic boldness. It is not uncommon for strategic blunders to occur while doing this and it is therefore crucial that organisations are equipped with the requisite knowledge of the markets they wish to enter. We provide expertise to businesses seeking to enter Kenya and East Africa. Our team members have experience in advising clients on inbound and local investment decisions by providing services covering market entry (commercial feasibility studies, investment appraisals, market research, financial and business modelling, and business planning); valuations (pre and post funding), funding options assessment, economic appraisals and price planning.

Verge Advisory also works with clients to optimise portfolios, unlock synergies, identify and drive efficiencies, improve predictability and stabilize returns so that firms are able to fulfil their potential. Our teams assist clients in cashflow planning, working capital analysis, cash optimization assessment, forecast and business plan reviews and business continuity planning.

Our strategy consulting expertise includes:

Fundamentals of growth: Only 1 in 9 companies succeeds in achieving sustained growth. We help companies grow by defining and focusing on their core.
Business unit strategy: Effective strategy for business units requires making proprietary decisions about where to play and how to win. The goal is to enable a business to reach its full economic potential.
Corporate strategy: Corporate strategy involves a proprietary set of actions that enables a company to be worth more than just the sum of its parts. The most critical role of the center is to help business units achieve leadership positions.
Founder's Mentality: To win in the long term, most companies need the cost advantages and scale of global incumbents. Yet, in achieving that scale, companies often lose what we call the Founder’s Mentality—the very core strengths and values that helped them succeed.
Digital: We help companies develop digital strategies that deliver on core strategy, delight customers and enable them to operate smarter and faster.
BothBrain Innovation: Bain works with clients to transform innovation for new product development and make big ideas actionable by combining creative strategy and analytic approaches.
Emerging markets: Home to most of the world’s population and recording double-digit growth, emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe are must-win areas for multinational companies. Bain helps companies navigate this unfamiliar terrain and successfully compete against indigenous companies and other multinationals.
