They call such a person Awumba.
Comfortable with thorny problems
Everything is fine then… BAM!
A crisis hits out of nowhere.
At Awumba, we're ready for the curve balls that technology can throw. Expecting the unexpected. Planning for the unforeseen. Facing challenges head-on. Like well-trained athletes... skilled, bold. Keeping our focus amidst sudden change. Our people are diverse, our solutions vast. Deep into the technology, while embracing ancient wisdom.
Bonds built by respect
What makes Awumba uniquely qualified to tackle tough challenges is not just our impressive list of skills and services (See our list of services). Unlike other firms that hastily assemble relative strangers to put on a problem, Awumba is made up entirely of trusted partners, consisting solely of hand-picked professionals who share decades long bonds. The kind of bonds that can only be forged by successfully navigating big challenges.
At Awumba, we always bring our finest to the game. Our members possess a deep understanding of each other's skills and strengths, enabling us to work cohesively to solve the most wicked problems where others have failed.
When the unexpected happens, you'll want professionals who work well together to solve the problem at hand. You'll want the professionals at Awumba.
Case In point
Recently, working with a Fortune 500 company that we've collaborated with for a years. During the morning standup, the CIO rushed in, looking worried, kicked off the meeting with the iconic line, "Houston, we have a problem." It was supposed to be funny, but something serious was going on. The CIO broke the news that due to political reasons beyond their control, we had to switch from Google's cloud solution to Amazon's, without any changes in budget or deadline. The room was gloomy, but not for the Awumba team. To be honest, we weren't entirely caught off guard. From the get-go we recommended a decoupled, platform-agnostic approach. Along the way, we had been proving out our strategy and were completely prepared for an immediate migration. A happy day indeed for that CIO.
Teamwork done differently
Teamwork redefined
At Awumba, leadership is not just about one person barking orders and expecting obedience. Leadership is a way of being. It's a state of mind that everyone is expected to embody in everything they do. Like a force of nature, that leadership ethos motivates team members to flock around challenges they are inspired to solve. We like to refer to this as “swarming”. It’s when our collective brainpower ignites, and solutions swirl until the right opportunity reveals itself. Then, just as quickly as it began, the flock disperses, having achieved what seemed impossible only minutes before. And all is right with the world again.

Awumba means
Adapting to the situation
Every client is different. Every project, product or system is different. We believe in being flexible enough to work well in every situation. We understand the need for process, more importantly we understand your process and work the way you like to work.
Go beyond the limits

Case In point
Today, our cleints hold prominent positions in some of the world's largest corporations, but it was not always so. Many of our relationships span decades, back to the early stages of their ascent towards success. During a trip down memory lane, one executive recounted numerous times when we stood by their side, always an ally. In a moment of intimacy, they confessed, "I couldn't have made it without you." Humbly, we get this a lot. The truth is, it takes unwavering leadership from all parties to succeed in a world fraught with obstacles.Together, we can reach for the stars.
Normalizing change
At Awumba we see change as normal.
We expect it. We plan on it.

Change is natural
We understand that change can be difficult for many people. It's natural to feel uncomfortable when faced with uncertainty. However, at Awumba, we embrace change as an opportunity for growth and innovation. We believe that change can bring about new perspectives and ideas. That’s why we strive to be flexible in our approach, adapting to new situations while still staying true to the vision. Our priority is to make the transition as smooth as possible ensuring that we deliver the best outcome for our clients. We take the time to evaluate the impact of any changes and address any potential risks or issues that may arise. We are committed to working together to navigate through any challenges and create a positive outcome.
Case In point
After making great progress on a new mobile app for weeks, our Awumba project lead, Sarah, received a client request for changes to the app's core functionality. Sarah knew that the team would be overwhelmed by the implications. Sarah acknowledged the team's concerns, validated their feelings, and emphasized that change is natural in the development process. She focused on the opportunity to learn a new technology and the potential for a better product. They broke down the rework into small tasks each member could tackle easily. The team successfully completed the changes, met the deadline, stayed on budget, and improved the product. At Awumba, we foster team resilience with empathy and strength.
