About Laetoli
Enabling sustainable transformation in a digital world. We help organisations turn strategy into action through business transformation, change management, and organisation architecture that delivers results.
Who Are We
Human Creativity and Innovation
Archaeological discoveries at Laetoli in Tanzania reveal early evidence of human culture and technological advance, making it the cradle of origin for humankind, human creativity and innovation.
Inspired by that spirit, Laetoli designs and implements innovative consulting, facilitation and training solutions that solve uniquely African and South African transformation challenges.

What do we do
Finding patterns for change
Weaving New Patterns for Sustainable Transformation
We understand people and processes as the warp and weft of the organisational fabric. And we know how a volatile, uncertain and digital world can strain that fabric.
Our “basket of knowledge” brings together intellectual capital, practical know-how, proven tools and a multi-disciplinary team. We empower leaders to craft preferred futures, achieve strategic and operational goals, and enable the transformation process required to get there.
We provide clear, effective patterns for managing change; helping clients build their own baskets of knowledge and capability for sustainable transformation.
Our Laetoli Brand
