What We Do
UWI Consulting responds to requests for
services, develops proposals, negotiates the terms and conditions of
contracts with clients. Once the firm is hired, we assign a qualified
and experienced Project Manager to manage the relationship with the
client. Most importantly, Uwi Consulting is responsible for the quality
assurance process that allows the client to get value for money,
through on-time, on-budget delivery of planned outputs.
We
understand that resource and capacity constraints often slow down the
rate of progress. We therefore seek to add to the capacity of
organizations by providing qualified human resources in a seamless
approach to accelerate implementation. We do this cost effectively. We
are results-oriented and we measure the impact of our services.
UWI
Consultants know the region; we find the opportunities and we stay the
course until the job is done. Uwi Consulting manages the risks inherent
in consulting assignments and project implementation not only by
tracking outputs and costs carefully but also by utilizing sound
contractual instruments that protect the University’s reputation and
the interests of the client.
