Creating future‑oriented solutions.
GICEL is a strategic business information company. We bring cutting-edge business solutions and intelligence to local and international companies, with clients across East Africa and Africa at large.
GICEL is a strategic business information company that offers cutting-edge business solutions and intelligence to local and international companies. Established in 2018, we have been recognised as a steadfast event management services company in Africa.
We are a key regional player in business consulting and advisory services across East Africa and Africa at large, and a consulting and development firm that specialises in training and human development. We bridge the gap between regional management approaches and their Western counterparts.
We keep our knowledge of management functions and the latest technologies current, and we have built models and tools that identify each client's specific requirements and address them effectively and efficiently. We believe this is our main competitive edge, so we keep refining these methods to stay in line with local and regional business environments.
Our approach also saves clients cost, time and expenditure. We source venues at reasonable rates, with interesting options outside the mainstream, for all of our conferences and trainings.

What is consulting?
Providing a third party with expertise on a subject in exchange for a fee. Advisory or implementation services may be part of the service, and an independent, unbiased stance on the issue is critical to the consultant's role.
What is training?
Renewing your employees' experience periodically, so they know their strengths and perform better.
What we do
Solutions across multiple business streams.
From classroom and online training to implementation support, every engagement is shaped around the client's own goals.
Project management
Discipline that outlasts the project.
Projects are temporary by nature, designed to deliver unique goals and business objectives, and project teams return to their operational roles at completion. With little focus on project management skills, enterprises can end up with low-quality, over-budget, unsuccessful projects.
Project management success requires discipline at both the individual and organisational level. As project management experts, we understand how hard it can be to change behaviours. We work with you to solidify adoption of your process and build the discipline that will guarantee your long-term success.

How we do business
Our core business is consulting, training and mentoring, with results that make a positive contribution to our society. For many people our advisory services are, quite literally, life-saving. Corporate responsibility defines how we achieve our goals.
The way we conduct our business affects our relationship with:

Their employees, who trust them with their lives and money
Their clients, who are in continuous need of their products and services

Our reputation with these people, and the trust they place in our services, is critical to our business. Pride in what we do does not mean we can ignore the need for continuous development, enhancement and improvement of our services.
