Who we are

We are a think tank composed of scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and creatives who have spent the last three decades cracking the Profit Growth Equation for businesses. We have developed a solution for companies to become healthy ecosystems for people, projects and processes. We use entrepreneurship to solve youth unemployment by transforming management philosophies and supporting institutional effectiveness. We do this through research, education, advisory and policy advocacy.

At CIRMI, our value-based, purpose-driven researchers turn their ideas into businesses. Our campus provides a conducive entrepreneurship ecosystem that allows us to implement projects, lead service-delivery programs and support program expansions. We apply the Decalogue Management Methodology™ and Ess3ntial software™ for project management for consistent results.

CIRMI serves as a platform for empowering individuals and transforming businesses. Also, we provide quality research analyses, policy dialogue on key issues put forward to the general public and decision-makers to stimulate rigorous debates on the effects of government policies on socio-economic growth and development in Kenya.

In addition, CIRMI’s mission is to ensure entrepreneurs have sound data, a method and elements of knowledge to systemically develop breakthrough solutions that build profitable businesses.

CIRMI has been operating in the region for 10 years. Reflecting back, and looking forward to the future, we maintain a long-term perspective and seek to make an impact that matters for our people, our communities, countries and region. We provide entrepreneurial solutions for Africa. Together, we build sustainable societies

Our Approach & Theory of Change

We offer a knowledge-based approach.

Our goal is to ensure you have systematic breakthrough solutions that lead to continuous positive results.

We equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to grow sustainable businesses and communities with all the advantages of a systemic approach–increased Quality of service/products, Greater team Involvement and faster Flow of information and cash generation, communication, decision making, R&D, production, delivery of services and products.

Businesses & societies are networks of conversations oriented towards a common goal. Nothing is achieved outside these conversations. Hence, the best possible contribution to the success of a community must be rooted in the way these conversations produce results.

What we do, side by side, with the relevant people is:

• guide the leadership team in their reasoning towards strategic solutions, enhancing their systemic foresight and insight.
• assist in the implementation of the solutions through operational guidance.
• continuously educate and train on the method and its applications and how to improve and evolve the relationship with customers, suppliers and the whole value network.
• build partnerships & manage stakeholders with businesses locally and internationally that are seeking to expand their markets.

Our Theory of Change is as follows
