We are a South African based management consulting firm. We are a firm made up of specialists carefully selected for our competencies in specific disciplines. We are trusted as a firm by businesses, governments and other organisations because we are able to address problems using trusted structured methodologies and interventions. We are a ‘community’ of great minds that provides powerful solutions to
organisations and individuals generated out of research findings driven by tried and trusted methodologies.Our understanding of the South African and African business terrain qualifies us as an effective advisor of both international and national firms whose main target market is African.
Our vision is to become the most influential and revered management consulting firm of African heritage on the African Continent. We are aware that a number of consulting firms that have started well have generated
revenue for the partners to live comfortably yet their influence is barely felt.
We deliver outstanding client services whilst providing fulfilling careers and professional experiences for our people. We believe in prioritising our client’s needs whilst
implementing solutions that maximise effectiveness and return on investment for clients and ourselves.
Our dominant project-based organizational structure influences the working and communication culture. The composition of project teams changes frequently, the diversity of team members as well as their implicit knowledge is huge, and, in many cases different mentalities and cultural backgrounds are brought into
contact. Therefore, organizational culture at BlueHills Advisory is an important factor for the success of the firm. Our culture encourages openness, knowledge sharing and mutual support among employees, while generating attitudes like altruism, trust, error tolerance, and understanding.
We respect ourselves, our people, our clients, our environment, our partners and the law of the land. We are aware that respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability.
Our meetings enable our consulting personnel to share experiences, information, knowledge and wisdom. A very important aspect in our firm is a sense of belonging, camaraderie and team work that binds us together.
We are real and open in all our endeavours argue the need to develop high mutual trust. We are of the opinion that high performance teams are characterised by high mutual trust
which can only be developed through openness and the concept of no surprises.
We act with integrity, and keeping client information confidential and we always tell the truth. BHA will not compromise results, or get involved in shady deals or dealings. We do not do bribes! We are committed to all our assignments and we act in the best interest of the client.
We do not quit on the whim. We are committed to our work, our clients, ourselves and our environment and our partners. Every client or assignment no matter its value receives our total commitment, zeal, resources, and energies.
We are committed to continuous learning. We are a learning organization; a firm that has a powerful capacity to collect, store and transfer knowledge and thereby continuously transform itself for corporate success. We believe in empowering people within and outside the company to learn as they work and utilizes technology to optimize both learning and productivity.
We are aware that today’s organizations are faced with realities of reorganization, restructuring, and re-engineering for success if not just survival, increased skills shortage, as workers are not adequately prepared for today’s markets and environments.
We are quality driven. We are committed to continuous improvement. We believe that quality is a perceptual, conditional and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people. We are aware that consumers may focus on the specification quality of a
product/service or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace while producers might measure the conformance quality, or degree to which the product/service was produced correctly.

The services include customer satisfaction studies, brand analysis, product and communications studies, sales channels measures, pricing and stakeholder analysis to name only a few.
We understand the importance for a client organisation to continuously assess stakeholder perceptions, monitor changing beliefs and expectations and implement effective internal coordination of its reputation risk management function. Reputational risk, often called reputation risk, is a type of risk related to the trustworthiness of a business. It is a fragile asset that is broad and far-reaching. It includes public perceptions across the following areas; image; goodwill; and brand equity. Damage to a client organisation’s reputation can result in loss of revenue or destruction of shareholder value, even if the organisation is not found guilty of a crime. Whilst a client organisation’s reputation is intangible, it is a valuable asset. Using the lessons learnt and wisdom obtained from over 15 years of experience in management consulting, research, and reputational risk management, we generate credible reports based on credible data, trusted quantitative, qualitative and triangulation methods while employing relevant data treatment techniques.
