Our Journey: From Vision to Impact

2017

A spark of opportunity ignited our path as we registered The League of Companies. It wasn't just a name and a domain; it was a commitment to a bold vision that resonated deeply within us. Our journey truly began in 2019 when we set out on the path of trading. Along this road, we faced challenges, including the formidable trials of the COVID era. Yet, against all odds, we not only persevered but thrived. What set us apart was our resilience and our knack for excelling in areas beyond the confines of IT.

The Turning Point

Then came the turning point. With hard-earned revenue in hand, we embarked on a ground-breaking endeavour – the creation of The League of Companies platform. Our mission was singular: to shatter barriers that stymie Entrepreneurs, SMMEs, and SMEs in their pursuit of significant business opportunities, not just in South Africa, but on a global scale.

Giants of Consulting

In a landscape dominated by a handful of giants in the Consulting and ICT industry, we emerged as a beacon of change. Our platform emerged as a gathering place for SMEs and SMMEs, united by subject matter expertise, and complemented by skilled independent consultants. Together, we formed an unparalleled coalition, poised to challenge the grip of industry dominance.

What distinguishes The League of Companies?

LOC added value

Is the added value it provides through its business experience and strong innovation capability. While subject matter specialists are experts in their respective consulting and technical fields, The League of Companies combines this knowledge with a thorough awareness of business dynamics and market demands. This combination enables The League of Companies to produce engineered solutions that go beyond addressing technical problems alone.

Technology and domain

Experience are insufficient to produce effective outcomes. It understands the significance of connecting technical solutions with larger corporate objectives, market trends, and strategic objectives. Through engagement with The League of Companies, Sasol would benefit from the aggregate business experience of its highly experienced consultants and members. The League’s Consultants and members have a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape and can provide insights on how technological solutions can be effectively deployed within a business context at Sasol.

Strong innovation capability

Innovation is a fundamental concept that pervades The League’s platform. The League of Companies provides a dynamic atmosphere where ideas are developed, polished, and translated into actual technical solutions by integrating the skills of its members and consultants with its innovation culture

Cutting-edge engineered solutions

The League of Companies has an extraordinary capacity for innovation that goes much beyond incremental development. On behalf of The League’s clients, we pursue unique opportunities, actively explore emerging technologies thereby promoting disruptive thinking. The League is able to create cutting-edge engineered solutions by utilizing the combined innovative talents of its consultants, members who are business and technology experts, and by encouraging collaboration with external platforms and third-party networks. These solutions not only promote company expansion but could also improve operational effectiveness and open up substantial competitive advantages for Sasol.

Significant cost benefits

The League of Companies offers significant cost benefits to Sasol through its unique platform and operational model. Here are the key factors that contribute to these cost advantages:

No large infrastructure costs: Unlike traditional consulting companies that often require substantial investments in physical infrastructure, The League of Companies operates primarily as a platform. This means there are no major expenses related to maintaining offices, data centres, or other costly infrastructure. The savings from not having these overhead costs can be passed on to Sasol.
Minimal salary bills: The League of Companies does not have a large permanent workforce on its payroll. Instead, it operates with a global network of member companies and highly skilled independents that provide the required consulting and technical skills needed to deliver on By leveraging this network of specialized experts, The League can access a wide range of skills and expertise without the need for a large internal workforce which allows The League to focus on its core business ensuring that The League’s enabling ecosystems are well staffed. Consequently, there are no significant salary bills to cover, resulting in cost savings for Sasol.
Shared services ecosystem: The League of Companies offers a shared services ecosystem, which enables our members to access various resources and expertise on a cost-effective basis. By pooling resources and leveraging economies of scale, the platform can provide services such as Business Development Consulting, Sales, Marketing, Legal and Finance at a lower cost to its members. These shared services allows members to benefit from high-quality services without incurring the full cost burden associated without employing expensive resources allowing the members to focus on increasing their technical staff complement.

Cost-effective costing model in summary: Due to the efficient operational structure and shared resources within The League, the costing model for Sasol would be highly competitive. The absence of large infrastructure costs and minimized salary bills significantly reduces the overall expenses of providing services. Uniquely, unlike its perceived competitors, The League is purpose driven as opposed to profit driven. As a result, the costing model offered to clients is at least 30% to 40% more cost effective than what they would typically encounter with traditional large consulting companies.

Strategic global partnerships

At The League of Companies, we are on an amazing journey to form strategic global partnerships that go beyond traditional business boundaries. These partnerships are made with the goal of taking advantage of synergies and getting the most out of mutual benefits, all while staying closely tied to our core offerings. Our approach is like putting together a symphony, where each instrument has its own melody that comes together to make an amazing piece of art.

Network of connections

Imagine a network of connections that spans countries and was carefully put together with partners who share our goals and values. These partnerships aren’t tied together by money. Instead, they are based on mutual loyalty and the same goals. It’s a meeting of minds, where each partner brings their own special skills and knowledge to make a whole that is smarter than the sum of its parts.

Symphony of creativity

Our world reach isn’t just a matter of where we are; it’s also a sign of how committed we are to being the best. We don’t just work with partners; we combine skills that make our abilities stronger. We combine our core skills with those of our partners in a way that makes the partnership a force to be reckoned with on the global stage. The result is a symphony of creativity and innovation that can be heard in many different fields.

Localized experts

But that’s not the end of our group. We add localized subject matter experts and skilled independents to the orchestra. This is like how soloists add their own sounds to a song. This coming together makes it easier for us to give customized answers to clients all over the world, regardless of where they are.

We are a global team of leaders.
