Human Capital

Organisational design, workforce planning, compensation structuring, performance frameworks and capacity building, aligned to what the business is actually trying to achieve.

The problem

People cost is the largest line, and usually the least examined.

Roles accumulate, salaries drift out of line with the market, and nobody can say which capabilities the next two years require.

We work on the structure, the numbers and the frameworks underneath it.

What we do

Five areas, each with something you can hold at the end.

Organisational design

The roles the business needs, how they relate, and who decides what.

Structure chart

Workforce planning

What capability the business needs, and whether to build, buy or borrow it.

Workforce plan

Compensation structuring

Job evaluation, salary banding, benchmarking and incentive design.

Salary structure

Performance management

Frameworks that produce useful conversations rather than completed forms.

Manager guide

Capacity building

Training that leaves capability inside the organisation.

Programme design

Pay

Pay decisions in the order that makes them defensible.

The sequence matters more than the benchmark.

Job evaluation

The relative weight of each role, before any number.

Banding

Roles of comparable weight grouped into bands.

Benchmarking

Bands tested against market data for Nigeria.

Placement

Individuals placed, and outliers identified.

Incentives

Variable pay designed last.

Capability

Three ways to close a capability gap, and each has a cost.

Build

Develop the capability internally. Slowest, and the cheapest to retain.

Buy

Recruit from the market. Fastest, and the most disruptive to structure.

Borrow

Contract or advisory support while internal capability is built.
