21.8 Degrees to Excellence

ABOUT US

Founded in 1998, Business Development Engineering (BDE) is a professional services company that provides ISO compliant Management Systems, Industrial Engineering and Asset Management solutions to small, medium and large enterprises across Southern Africa.


OUR PHILOSOPHY

We developed the philosophy of total business management called the 21.8 degrees approach.   This philosophy is inspired by the small deviation of magnetic north from true north.

We believe most companies don’t need drastic changes to become global players, simply a slight adjustment.

And just as magnetic declination varies both from place to place and with the passage of time, in the same manner the amount of change required by an organisation will depend on the organisation’s unique position.


OUR APPROACH

Our service approach is based on the basic pillars of world-class business management.  

This entails the holistic study and analysis of existing business processes and comparing it to available standards and researched best practices.  

Our solution is then built around our client’s core business (money making) process.
