About Litt & Specter Consults
An independent Kampala consultancy focused on practical advice and measurable results.
Who we are
Litt & Specter Consults was set up to give Ugandan organisations access to advice of the quality usually reserved for large multinationals, delivered in a way that fits local conditions and budgets.
We are a team of advisors with backgrounds in finance, management, risk, human resources and operations. We have worked inside the businesses we advise, which is why we focus on what can realistically be carried out by your team.
We are independent. We take no commissions from suppliers, lenders or software vendors, so our recommendations are based only on what is right for you.
How we work
We start by listening. Most of the first meeting is us asking questions about your business, your people and what has already been tried. Only then do we say what we think, and that includes things you may not want to hear.
We write short documents and use simple tools, because they are the ones that still get used after we have gone. Where we can, we train your own staff to run what we build.
Everything you tell us is covered by a written confidentiality agreement, and every engagement has a written scope, a fixed fee and a review at the end.
What we stand for
We tell clients the truth, even when it is awkward, and we only take on work we are able to do well. We treat everyone in your organisation, from directors to junior staff, with the same respect, and we deliver what we promised for the fee we agreed.
We are also proud to be part of Uganda's business community and want the organisations we work with to do well here.
What working with us involves
Our people
Our advisory team brings together experience in banking, accounting, human resources, operations, market research and public sector reform. Engagements are led by senior advisors and supported by analysts and associates with the right specialist background.
Where a project needs special expertise, such as legal, engineering or sector knowledge, we bring in trusted associates under our management so you have a single point of accountability.
