THE management consultancy firm, Vertex, that will officially be launched on February 14, believes that it will, eventually, be able to assist in poverty reduction in Guyana and inspire more product and service innovation. Chairman of its team, Mr. Gary Thompson, told the Guyana Chronicle so, yesterday, on the sidelines of a symposium that was organised at Tower Hotel, on Main Street, Georgetown.
He was the host, along with Mr. Jimmy Roos, a life coach, radio host and motivational speaker.
“We are trying to make sure that we make a contribution to national development,”Thompson said, adding:“It is about helping Guyana, because as companies grow, we believe it will contribute to our GDP (Gross Domestic Product), to the reduction of poverty, inspire more product and service innovation; and this is what Guyana needs to move forward.”
The turnout at the forum was not as expected, but Thompson expressed confidence it will get better in time once Vertex becomes known.
Through the activity yesterday, Vertex intended to discuss some of the key elements that must be considered when developing a competitive and successful organisation.
“Today (yesterday) is the social interaction phase where we are getting to understand companies. It’s more like a diagnosis process. We are looking at quality service before the sales take place, during the sale, and after-sale services.
“We believe that, as corporate Guyana prepares to integrate into the Caribbean Region and the international arena of business, quality customer care is a pivotal factor that must be considered,” he said.
Thompson had told a recent press conference previously that Vertex Educational Institute will be one with a difference, as the plan is to synchronise in-house or classroom training with exposure and a prolonged mentorship system that will ensure participants are in a position to apply academic principles in the real world of doing business.
Incumbator hub
Thompson said Vertex is designed to be Guyana’s premier private sector innovation incubator hub. “Our key focus is centred on training, exposure and mentorship that will enable macro, small or medium-sized enterprises to become stronger.”
The primary aim behind the establishment of Vertex is to support government and the private sector to increase and diversify the export market portfolios, enhance global market competitiveness and strengthen Guyana’s international image through tourism and specialised service training industry, he elaborated.
He said Vertex has already started significant engagements with most of the private sector organisations, including the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) and the Private Sector Commission (PSC).
In addition, it is working on building stronger relationships with the wider business community.
Vertex Vice-Chairman, Mr. Mohabir Lall, had said one of the projects that it is contemplating is a human resources train the trainer programme, which would course persons from around the country who will then return to their respective communities and share their knowledge.
