Our Story

How a Bulawayo-born passion for people-performance grew into a movement transforming service culture across Zimbabwe and beyond.

A Vision Born in
Bulawayo, 2018

Outspoken Consultants was established in 2018 with a clear purpose: equipping organisations with skills to enhance productivity. We believe that every team in Zimbabwe has the potential to deliver world-class service — if their people are equipped, empowered, and inspired.

Since 2019, we have been successfully operating in the field of customer service solutions, acquiring deep expertise in customer relations. After witnessing how off-the-shelf training programmes imported from other markets consistently failed to resonate with local teams, our founder set out to build something different — a people-performance practice rooted in the Zimbabwean context, yet drawing on the best global thinking in service design, organisational psychology, and behavioural science.

What started as solo consultancy work from a home office in Bulawayo's Kensington suburb has grown into a trusted partner for over 85 organisations across banking, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and technology. Our team has trained more than 5,000 professionals, and we're just getting started.

"We didn't need to copy what works in London or New York. Zimbabwe has everything it takes to build a service culture that rivals the best in the world — we just needed to unlock it."

What Drives Everything We Do

Our Mission

To establish professional company brands through training, marketing, and workshops that power up organisations and their frontline customer service personnel. We exist to close the gap between potential and performance — one team at a time.

We measure our success not by the number of workshops delivered, but by the lasting behaviour change and tangible business outcomes our clients achieve.

Our Vision

We envision a business landscape where every customer interaction reflects purpose, care, and excellence — and where Zimbabwean organisations are recognised globally for the quality of their people and service.

We are building a movement of organisations that compete on culture, lead with confidence, and grow through the strength of their teams.

What We Stand For

Six core principles that guide every engagement, every relationship, and every decision we make.

Customer Service

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to delivering exceptional value through every interaction.

Integrity

We do what we say, honour our commitments, and maintain the highest ethical standards in every engagement.

Professionalism

We bring expertise, reliability, and a polished approach to every client relationship. Excellence is our baseline.

Excellence

We pursue the highest standards in everything we deliver — from programme design to client outcomes and follow-through.

Transparency

We communicate openly, share progress honestly, and build trust through clear and candid partnerships.

Accountability

We take ownership of results. When we commit to a goal, we follow through — and we measure what matters.
