Kepner-Tregoe worked with the DAL Group, Sudan's largest privately held commercial organization, to design their move into agriculture. KT took DAL's leaders through a robust strategic decision making process to determine what their optimal strategy for agriculture should be. Initial results from this strategy suggest clear signs of success with the development of an export market for locally grown alfalfa, the modernization of dairy production and the development of programs to support ground-nut farming. 

"Having spent time on really understanding our organisation and what for them was a very new and unusual business environment, the KT consultants brought the right minds together, challenged our thinking and allowed us to arrive at well-informed and powerful strategic choices," stated DAL's Managing Director, Ihab Daoud Abdellatif. "The consensus built within our leadership team and KT's structured and disciplined approach to implementation is helping our ambitious strategy for agriculture become a reality."

According to KT's European Managing Director, Martin Wing, "Kepner-Tregoe is honored to be nominated for Best Strategy Project with a great partner like the DAL Group. Many excellent consultants from our practise have worked diligently to bring outstanding results to this engagement."

KT will join fellow Strategy finalists Deloitte with Facebook, Elix-IRR with Standard Bank and PwC with Vodafone, Telefonica UK, Everything Everywhere at the MCA Awards ceremony and dinner on 18 April.
