why we work this way
At Koliso, our name reflects our philosophy. Koliso is an indigenous South African word that carries a meaning we don’t quite have in English "not just for me, not just for you, but for us." It’s about shared success, collective progress, and the idea that we all achieve more when we all achieve more.
This belief is at the heart of everything we do. We practice business guided by the best available understanding of human psychology.
-
Great teams don’t just happen—they’re built. When people feel ownership over their work, they show up differently. People support what they help to create.
-
Growth happens at the right balance of challenge and skill. People work best when they’re in flow—the sweet spot where their abilities stretch just enough to keep them engaged.
-
Perspective shapes everything. We don’t see the world as it is; we see it as we are. Understanding that is key to great leadership and teamwork.
-
Change is easier to sustain than to start. Momentum is precious, and keeping it going matters more than just getting it started.
-
People support what they help to create.
At Koliso, we help leaders and teams align, adapt, and accelerate—not just for individual success, but for the success of the whole.
Because when we go together, we go farther.
why fixed fees work better
​At Koliso, we do almost all of our work on a fixed fee basis.
We believe it’s better for you—and better for us. Fixed fees create clarity and confidence. You know exactly what you’re investing in, and we stay focused on delivering value, not watching the clock.
This approach encourages open communication, flexibility, and trust. It keeps the attention where it belongs: on solving the right problems, not tallying hours.
When we scope a project, we take the time to understand what success looks like for you—then we commit to delivering it. Simple, transparent, and aligned with your goals.
