As a management consultant, I was recruited to restructure the entire UGMC before it was privatized. I worked with a team of management professionalism and as such we were able to restructure the firm in all areas of its operation including: Finance, human resource, manufacturing and marketing.
UGMC was a very large company indeed with four manufacturing plants. Its restructuring was a great experience. Since then I have also done more consultancies.
- Management Consultant on Bore Hole Water Project for Masindi and Luworo (July 1998)
I learned that the extreme hardships some of our people experience regard to not only access to clean water but to access water at all. For example, in the sub county of Bulisa in Masindi district, we found that inspite of the people living on the shores of Lake Albert; the water was so dirty that it was undrinkable. We, therefore, established beyond doubt that these people needed bore holes.
