Hospitality · Lagos The Business Needed Systems That Could Survive the People Who Ran It. Steven Omali, Managing Director — Class Suites
Steven Omali, Managing Director of Class Suites, on working with Excel & Grace Consulting
Hear it from Steven "I walk into branches and I don't know the people — and I go and sit down."
25–30%Revenue growth
₦2.5BAnnual turnover, up from ₦2.2B
LowerStaff turnover, better customer retention

Steven has been in hospitality since 1998 and built his own business from 2010 — close to 27 years in the industry. The hotels were running, but every hire went through him, and the way people worked came and went with them. When staff left, the process left with them. He had tried to set up HR before. It never held.

The Problem
  • Hard to find and keep the right people
  • The existing HR function was not working
  • No proper systems or processes — they lived in people's heads
  • The founder was involved in every staffing decision
  • Processes walked out of the door when people left
What We Did
  • Structured a real HR function with documented processes
  • Recruited a strong HR head
  • Built onboarding that outlasts any one person
  • Recommended and implemented a salary review
  • Helped set up an Advisory Board for governance
What Changed
  • Departments began to function on their own
  • Steven could step back, travel and rest — reviewing messages instead of managing every detail
  • He can walk into a branch without knowing every employee, and it still runs
  • Staff turnover dropped; customers stayed longer
  • Full salary was paid before Christmas

"I walk into branches and I don't know the people — and I go and sit down." Steven Omali — Managing Director, Class Suites

The lesson: When your people leave, your process should stay. Build systems, not dependencies.
Healthcare · Multi-Arm Group They Had All the Parts. They Needed a System That Made the Parts Work Together. Godwin Emanuel, Managing Partner — Mozuk Health
Godwin Emanuel, Managing Partner of Mozuk Health, on working with Excel & Grace Consulting
Hear it from Godwin "At no point in the history of any business should you feel you can do it alone."
20%+Revenue growth each year, for 4–5 years
100%+Total revenue growth since we started
WeeklyPerformance checks, plus monthly reviews

Mozuk Health runs four arms — a hospital, medical diagnostics, water/food/environmental health analysis, and medical devices and health technology. Godwin had all the parts. He described it like a car: the parts were there, but the engine would not run properly because they were not connected. The business also had no strong way to measure whether it was performing.

The Problem
  • Four arms, with no structure tying them together
  • The business model needed to match what the market was actually saying
  • No strong systems to measure performance
  • Management made every routine decision by feeling, not policy
What We Did
  • Restructured the group with clear reporting lines
  • Introduced performance management and metrics
  • Set stronger revenue targets
  • Put in weekly checks and monthly reviews
  • Became an ongoing external accountability partner
What Changed
  • Fewer problems reach management — staff refer to policy instead of calling the managing partner
  • Performance is now measured weekly and reviewed monthly
  • External accountability freed Godwin's mind to focus on business development
  • Less complacency; the team is more active in marketing

"At no point in the history of any business should you feel you can do it alone. When you start thinking you have it all sorted — just know you have started nose-diving." Godwin Emanuel — Managing Partner, Mozuk Health

The lesson: You can't grow what you don't measure.
