WHO WE ARE

Ihluma (isiXhosa for sprout) is a Cape Town-based consultancy that provides project and programme management resources, support and services. Put another way, we help Project Management Offices (PMOs) achieve their strategic goals and objectives. We’re proudly South African and black female-owned. Our management consulting capabilities, as well as our business insights, underpin the delivery assurance that one would expect from a trusted business partner.
Ihluma’s leadership team comprises Nkanenyana Madisha and Barry Wheeler who have more than 30 years of project, programme, and portfolio management experience between them.

Nkanenyana is a certified project professional who is the consummate completer-finisher. She thrives on multi-tasking. Her passion lies in meeting the challenge of multi-faceted project and programme delivery head-on. She is currently studying a Masters in Project Management.

Barry is a certified project professional with a proven track record of delivering extremely large and highly complex projects and programmes in various industries. In doing so, he has overseen project and programme delivery in countries across six of the seven continents. (Antarctica remains a challenge.) He has an innate ability to forge teams and assure delivery. His passion lies in coaching and mentoring young project professionals to achieve project and programme delivery success.

HOW WE DO IT

Ihluma takes great pride in the quality and professionalism of its consultants. Our selection process is rigorous. Our selection criteria are stringent. We look for individuals with the aptitude and determination to become consummate project, programme, and portfolio experts. We then focus on growing that talent. We coach. We mentor. We guide. We support. We use our blend of skills, knowledge, experience, and expertise to nurture every consultant. We continuously assess and improve our consultant’s hard skills and, most importantly, their soft skills.
Ihluma partners with its clients in a similarly meticulous manner. We seek to truly understand each client’s business, their values, their culture, and their work environment. We ensure that we have a crystal-clear understanding of the client’s business challenges, requirements, and needs. In this way, we can find the most optimal consultant-client match that positions the business partnership for delivery success.
WHY WE DO IT

Project and programme delivery isn’t easy. If it was, project professionals would be here, there, and everywhere. Companies would be spoilt for choice. But they’re not.
We take immense pride and satisfaction in growing our project consultants, and seeing them flourish into exceptional delivery specialists that are implicitly trusted by our clients.
We also take immense pride and satisfaction in working with our clients to address their business challenges, solve their business problems, and satisfy their business needs. We relish the realisation of benefits for our clients.
When all is said and done, though, we just love what we do. Plain and simple.
