Consulting

Sometimes you don't need training. You need it done.

Project-based consulting for library directors and teams across Africa and the Middle East who need a specific outcome, scoped to real budget and infrastructure constraints.

What this is

Not generic strategy consulting.

Every engagement is scoped to a concrete deliverable: a policy that's actually written, a collection that's actually reviewed, a plan your board can actually vote on. You'll know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
