At the core of
what we do at
Devnomics, is
project management
discipline.
Project management
is a life skill. No one
should be denied the
opportunity to develop
this skill. If I had the
resources, I would
make it available to
everyone in society.
Project
management, as we
know, is the art &
science of getting
things done.
It has already
been declared the
competence of the
new millennium. As
most people tend
to agree, project
management sells
itself anywhere it is
correctly implemented.

Research practice
Our self-styled approach to research is founded on the
notion of uncovering facts & producing irrefutable evidence,
that is then transformed into uncommon, actionable
intelligence, enabling our clients to achieve their objectives –
whatever they may be.
At Devnomics we work each day to earn the trust of our
clients – this motivates us to do everything in our power to
source useful data, that is relevant in the specific context of
our clients' enquiries, in order to assist them to achieve their
objectives.

base matter. At Devnomics, we are mindful of this & have ensured the

sharper & more workable concepts, guaranteed to secure desired

Project management
The absence of a scientific, result-oriented project management
discipline is often at the root of all implementation failures. We
provide all-inclusive project management solutions, from conception
through implementation, to project closure. Our project management
practice is founded on the prescripts of the globally-respected Project
Management Institute.

Monitoring & evaluation
Good governance is fundamentally linked to well-designed,
results-based monitoring & evaluation (M&E) systems; M&E continues
to be acknowledged as a powerful performance measurement tool by
which results can be measured & improvement to resource utilisation
achieved, in any endeavour. We are thought leaders & disciplined
implementation professionals in monitoring & evaluating any subject of
interest. Our practices, tools & techniques are aligned to the practice
notes & standards prescribed by the SA Department of Performance
Monitoring & Evaluation.
