About Us

“The training gave us a much clearer framework for analyzing and improving our operations.”

Many managers in East African organizations were promoted because they were excellent at their jobs, not because anyone trained them to lead. The organization keeps moving, just not as fast as it could. Since 2019, Zircon Consultants has helped organizations across East Africa close that gap, with goals agreed at the start and evaluated at the end.

What leaders say after the training ends.

The Lean Six Sigma training gave us a much clearer framework for analyzing and improving our operations. We are now better equipped to identify inefficiencies and implement structured improvements across key processes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Request a Proposal

We’re already doing well. Why would we need leadership training?

Many organizations are profitable and still moving slower than they could: the same complaints from employees, people leaving, change that takes too long. Every program starts with a consultation where we agree in writing what success looks like, and ends with an evaluation against it, so you see exactly what the training changed.

What is the typical pricing for your training programs?

Pricing varies depending on the program, number of participants, level of customization, and delivery format. Most engagements are priced as tailored corporate training solutions. Contact us for a customized quote based on your organization’s needs.

Do you offer in-person, virtual, or hybrid training?

Yes. Zircon Consultants offers in-person training in Nairobi and across Kenya, as well as virtual and hybrid delivery options depending on your organization’s preferences.

Can your programs be customized for our organization?

Yes. All programs are fully customized to align with your organization’s goals, industry, team structure, and specific challenges.

How do we get started with Zircon Consultants?
