AmbitionZ provides business and technology project consulting and management services and operates according to straight forward guiding principles:
- The purpose of a consulting engagement is to help improve the client's organisation;
- Success is achieved through constructive relationships; and
- AmbitionZ can only exist if it continues to deliver quality outcomes for clients.
AmbitionZ's project based services are based on actual project need - so if your project needs part-time hours, variable attendance or has ad-hoc requirements to achieve project outcomes AmbitionZ's services adapt accordingly.
