About GMI

GMI is a locally registered firm. Our consultants hold professional qualifications and have long experience in private and public sector management and development, in Kenya and abroad.

Our associate consultants include professional trainers and practicing specialists. Many work in industry, international organizations, government departments and universities, and all have wide experience in adult learning. That means high-quality delivery for participants and the organizations that sponsor them.

We believe efficiency, productivity and development in public and private institutions come from effective training, management and use of human and non-human resources.

Our focus

We improve the efficiency, productivity and use of people, organizations and national resources through research, training, consultancy and productive management techniques, delivered in seminars, workshops and symposia within and outside Kenya.

We work to agreed contracts set before each task starts, and we bring artificial intelligence, the internet of things and emotional intelligence into our client engagements.

Duration
Orientation programmes can run 3 or 5 days. Detailed programmes run two to four weeks, and we recommend two weeks.
Who should attend
Staff with some years of service and hands-on experience who are accountable for technical, administrative or professional work, so they can apply what they learn.
Venue

Subjects

“Action training”: simulations, case studies, brainstorming, group work, discussions, role plays, demonstrations, practical and self-scoring exercises, lectures and field trips where possible. Participants receive summarized handouts.

Our approach

We work in close consultation with the client, as a partnership for the performance results they want. We start with the need that prompted the request. Deeper analysis shows whether the answer is training or something else.

When training is the answer

We develop the curriculum, design the programme, deliver the training and evaluate the outcomes.

When research is needed

We analyze the need, build data collection tools, collect and interpret data, and submit realistic interventions. Clients are free to involve us in putting them into practice, including policies, work plans, monitoring and evaluation tools, and marketing and communication strategies.
