Do Development Differently

Relief Development Consulting is the only strategic management consulting firm specifically dedicated to designing innovative solutions for the most challenging problems of the developing world.

Development projects are not like traditional consulting engagements. Advice and strategic analysis make up a much smaller part of the process. The most critical phase is actual implementation. In most cases, the strategy at the beginning of a project will change and adapt repeatedly as the realities on the ground dictate. Many perfectly planned projects fail because of poor implementation and an inability to adequately adapt the strategy, while avoiding mission creep and maintaining the projects original objectives.

Relief Development Consulting is unique because we focus not only on developing the initial strategy, but also on carefully managed, flexible implementation. We ensure impact and results by actively managing each phase of an engagement's lifecycle, from design through implementation and true sustainability. Additionally, we align our fee structure to performance. Relief is one of the only development firm's that ties its compensation directly to delivering measurable results, thus aligning our incentives with the desired outcome of the engagement.
