UMT Consulting SA, the foremost project, program, and portfolio management solution provider in South Africa, has announced its intention to penetrate the market even further by moving from 'good to great'.
In spite of the global financial crisis, the company has shown exceptional growth over the past financial year. Not only did it grow in capacity by tripling its staff complement, but it also increased its annual revenue threefold, and its profit six-fold for the year ending 28 February 2010.
UMT Consulting SA CEO Pieter Meyer ascribes the success to his highly skilled and competent staff. “Our people are our biggest asset. We invest substantially in our people by providing them with the necessary skills and training to be the best and this shows by the high standard of service delivery - we had zero failures during this period.”
UMT Consulting SA's extensive experience and pioneering attitude has seen the development of matchless project and portfolio management systems and protocols. The methodologies it has architected, combined with its remarkably effective brand of project management, allows for an effective link to be established between strategy formulation and real-world execution.
Pieter points to the company's new mission and vision statement, namely to stand as the leading project, program and portfolio management and consulting and outsourcing company in southern Africa, through the application of best practices and the deployment of highly qualified and skilled professionals.
“Our new mission is to continuously improve our customer's project, program and portfolio management environment from good to great, through the creation of synergy between people, processes and systems, in order to actively transform and deliver performance benefits and value; provide world-class solutions; and manage time, cost, quality and risks,” he says.
Furthermore, the company prescribes to a set of values that it actively applies to all aspects of the business. From the complex to the commonplace, these values guide and motivate all its business activities, and can be seen as the heart of the organisation:
* Ownership and accountability motivates personal excellence and reliability.
* Trustworthiness ensures the virtues of honesty and integrity are always upheld.
* Respect promotes the establishment of positive, meaningful, and beneficial relationships.
* Innovation and growth encourages extraordinary thinking and the development of new ideas.
* Diversity safeguards the embracement of differences and the expression of the individual.
Meyer says he, the directors and management are proud to be part of a company that moved from good to great in the last three years. “Contributing to our success is our signature ability to integrate business, product, and IT strategy with day-to-day operations, translating directly into enhanced performance and measurable results. Not only will UMT Consulting SA benefit from our offering, but the country and the economy as a whole.”
