When a project needs direction, a system needs improving or a team needs new skills, it helps to have someone who understands the work. Ivany Concepts provides project management, ICT and AI consulting, and professional training.
Based in Nairobi. Working with organisations across Kenya.
You may be starting a new initiative, taking over a difficult project or improving an established operation. Our services can be commissioned separately or brought together around the work at hand.
Support from the first project brief through implementation and handover. We help you plan the work, track progress and address the issues that affect delivery.
Technology should fit the way your organisation works. We review your requirements, build and connect systems, and help your team put them to use.
Practical learning for people with work to do. Programmes combine relevant examples, guided practice and materials participants can refer to afterwards.
A county programme has different reporting obligations from a growing business. A small project team has different resources from a corporate PMO. We take those differences into account when planning an assignment.
Get to know the practicePlanning, implementation oversight and monitoring for county governments, public agencies, NGOs and donor-funded programmes. We consider the funding, approval and reporting arrangements that shape delivery.
County and donor-funded project advisoryProject support, better reporting and practical improvements to business systems. For organisations managing several initiatives, we help establish clear priorities and a consistent view of progress.
Digital transformation and automationProject management and AI training, certification preparation and coaching. Programmes are shaped around participants’ starting knowledge and the tasks they need to carry out.
Training and professional developmentWe agree what needs to be done, who will be involved and how you will review the work. The level of support depends on the assignment; the responsibilities are set out before it begins.
We discuss your objectives, current position and constraints. Relevant documents and conversations with your team help us understand where support would be useful.
A shared understanding of the brief
You receive a proposal with the scope, deliverables, fees and schedule. We agree responsibilities, access requirements and the arrangements for reviewing progress.
A written proposal and delivery plan
We carry out the agreed work and keep you informed at planned review points. Decisions, issues and any changes to scope are recorded as the assignment progresses.
Reviewed work and regular updates
We review the deliverables together and hand over the relevant documentation, templates or code. Training and follow-up support are included where agreed.
A documented handover and next steps
Ivany Concepts is the consulting practice of Ivany Concepts Limited, a Kenyan company based in Nairobi.
The practice brings together project management, technology implementation and professional education. That combination is useful when an assignment calls for both a change to the way work is managed and the skills to sustain it.
Our lead consultant, Dr. Julius Kipketer Leley, draws on project management research, public-sector delivery experience and university teaching. His doctoral research examined the implementation of county-funded and donor-funded infrastructure projects in Kenya.

Yes. You may need a planning workshop, an independent review, a particular system or a course for your team. We can agree a focused assignment or discuss ongoing support across several stages of delivery.
After discussing your requirements, we prepare a proposal covering the work, deliverables, responsibilities, fees and expected schedule. Consultancy can be priced for a defined scope or on a time basis. Any changes are discussed before additional work is agreed.
Yes. Advisory sessions, suitable development work and training can be delivered remotely. Where an assignment needs site visits or in-person workshops, the location and travel arrangements are included in the proposal.
A short description of the project or problem is enough to start. It helps to know your intended outcome, current stage, main constraints and any fixed deadlines. You can share relevant documents later, once the scope and appropriate handling arrangements are agreed.
