Practice 03 of 06
Technical Consultancy
Most consulting stops at the recommendation. This practice continues into specification, procurement and installation — across agribusiness, manufacturing, ICT and energy — so the analysis and the delivery are not split between two firms who can blame each other.
- The outcome
- A technical decision you can fund, and a system that still runs after handover.
- Often engaged in
- Agribusiness · Energy · Trade & industry · ICT & telecom
- First step
- A scoping conversation, at no charge
The situations that bring clients here
- A capital decision needs feasibility work before it can be funded.
- A facility underperforms and nobody can say precisely why.
- A system has been specified by a vendor with an interest in the answer.
- Equipment was installed but the team was never built up to run it.
What we provide
The work, in detail.
Capability names and descriptions are taken from the HASI Company Profile 2026. This is the service we sell, not a marketing gloss of it.
01
Sectors we work in
Technical competence held within each segment, not borrowed.
- Agribusiness — agriculture, livestock and poultry
- Value chain analysis, productivity improvement, and the procurement, design and installation of modern greenhouse facilities. The work runs from a feasibility question through to a facility in production.
- Manufacturing & industry
- Industrial operations assessed and improved: capacity, quality, process performance and the technical systems that support them.
- Information & communication technology
- Technology environments designed, implemented and optimized for the business they serve, with capacity building for the teams who run them.
- Energy solutions
- Energy systems assessed, designed and installed, including renewable energy consulting and technical skills development.
02
What we deliver in each sector
The same four outputs, whatever the industry.
- Studies & analysis
- Market assessment, feasibility studies and value chain analysis — the evidence a board or a lender needs before capital is committed.
- Design & installation
- Consulting services, system design and installations specified to work from day one in the actual operating environment, not in ideal conditions.
- Greenhouse facilities
- Procurement, design and installation of modern greenhouse facilities, from siting through commissioning.
- Technical training
- In-house capacity building in renewable energy, agribusiness, manufacturing and ICT, so the client team can operate and maintain what has been installed.
How the work runs
The method, and what you keep.
Steps on the left, artefacts on the right. Deliverables are agreed in the written proposal before anything starts.
Assess
Site, market and operating environment examined against what the client intends to achieve.
Study
Feasibility, value chain or capacity analysis — enough evidence to fund a decision.
Design
System design and specification, independent of any vendor’s commercial interest.
Install
Procurement, installation and commissioning support in the field.
Hand over
Technical training so the client’s own team can run and maintain the system.
Typical deliverables
- Feasibility study with technical and financial modelling
- Value chain analysis and productivity improvement plan
- Technical design and specification package
- Vendor and equipment evaluation
- Installation and commissioning support
- Operator and maintenance training programme

Questions
Asked before engaging us.
Do you sell or represent equipment brands?
Our technical advisory work is intended to be independent of vendors. Where an engagement involves procurement we set out the evaluation criteria and the basis for a recommendation so the client can see how it was reached.
Which technical disciplines does the team cover?
Our expert pool includes technical specialists in energy, manufacturing, agriculture and ICT alongside management consultants. The specific named team for an assignment is confirmed at proposal stage.
Can you do a feasibility study only?
Yes. Many engagements stop at studies and analysis. Design and installation are separate scopes you can take up later, with us or with anyone else.
Do you work outside your three office locations?
Our operational presence is Hargeisa, Mogadishu and Jigjiga, serving clients across the Horn of Africa. Tell us where the site is and we will be direct about whether we can staff it properly.
Technical Consultancy
A technical decision you can fund, and a system that still runs after handover.
Tell us where your organization is against that outcome, and we will say plainly whether this practice is the right place to start, and what the first step would cost.
