Individual organizations’ performance directly affects the overall development of countries in transition. However, most public as well as private institutions have not yet reached the required stage of institutional and organizational development.
PMCG works with organizations from both the public and private sectors to help them build their capacities to change and achieve greater productivity by developing, improving, and reinforcing strategies, structures, and processes. We transform inefficient bureaucracies into modern, capable, and transparent structures to efficiently enforce legislation and improve service delivery.
