INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE APPROACH

The South African problem cannot be left to the government to solve on their own. It has to be tackled by all organizations, both public and private, of all sizes and in all industries. Collective responsibility requires shared solutions based in best practice. Many organizations try to solve these problems on their own, sometimes calling for assistance from strategy consultants or industry experts.

Where MPSSS differentiates itself in the marketplace, is in creating and implementing solutions for its clients based on the knowledge that enterprises need to serve a wider group of stakeholders than just the shareholders and that public institutions need to serve a wider group of interests than just their political masters. The MPSSS solutions draw on international best practice, are deconstructed and recompiled to suit each local situation and then are tailored to fit the client’s organization as a member of its ecosystem of stakeholders. No solution is implemented in isolation as all the significant stakeholders are involved in an organization’s transformation.

• We facilitate participation in community infrastructure projects so as to improve the basic construction and maintenance skills through opportunities in local projects that bring infrastructure and potable water to the community;
