The practice

Sixteen years of continuous independent consulting.

Saincon is a South African operations and business management consultancy delivering C-suite-level operational leadership, people management and governance capability on a fractional or project basis. Founded in 2017, the practice carries 16 years of continuous independent consulting into every engagement.

Administration and operations management and HR and people management are our two primary disciplines. ISO 9001 quality systems are a specialisation layered across both, so that process, people and compliance are built together rather than bolted on afterwards.
