ERUDITE
Unsurpassed insight, accumulated through ongoing study, 85 years of practical experience and solid relationships, makes it possible for Erudite Strategies to safeguard each project, so that it is managed in the soundest way possible to effectively come to fruition. A modern and connected business, Erudite Strategies makes use of each team member’s comprehensive understanding and real experience in doing business in Africa, to advise on, develop and deliver strategies that result in tangible value for multinational organisations wanting to expand their footprint into and across the continent. The effectiveness of Erudite Strategies is strongly linked to its business principles, which include: Sharing comprehensive erudition: The team’s technical expertise allows it to provide guidance and input across the whole design spectrum – from project concept development to detailed mineral process design including electrical, control and instrumentation, and civil, structural and infrastructure development. Working in symbiosis with clients: Working closely with its clients, provides Erudite Strategies with a complete understanding of their business objectives, allowing the team to provide the best project direction, advice and practical answers to management and professional teams. Reducing risk: The emerging markets and its inherent population growth and rapid urbanisation present a significant opportunity for businesses to expand today and in the foreseeable future. With this opportunity; however, comes risk. It is especially here where the experience of the team at Erudite Strategies (been there and done that – often) sets it apart. It fully acknowledges and understands what the risks are associated with a particular country or type of project and navigates around those risks to reduce exposure of the business plan to unknown realities.
