Our History

2003

Foundation

The Company started its operations in March 2003. It was then called Pinnacle Training and Consulting Ltd with offices located on Peponi Road, Westlands. The name Pinnacle represented our promise to drive individuals and organizations to the pinnacle of their performance. During that same year we acquired the Crestcom Franchise and offered our flagship leadership program, “The Bullet Proof Manager” from the franchise.

2004-2006

Crossing Borders

We acquired a Crestcom license for 4 East African countries and opened our first offices outside Kenya in Kigali, Rwanda and Bujumbura, Burundi.

2007

Rebrand

We rebranded the Company to Raiser Resource Group.The name “Raiser” represents our quest to raise performance for organizations and individuals while recognizing that there is never a pinnacle to this quest and that there was always room for improvement. At the same time as the re-branding, we moved our Kenya corporate offices to Jumuia Place on Lenana Road

2008

Insights & Learning Partnership

We started our partnership with Insights Learning. This partnership helped us deliver a culture rooted in emotional intelligence and personal and team awareness, helping employees adapt and connect with each other. This became a key foundational training that we offered as a prerequisite to our other solutions. We also opened a Raiser office in Uganda.

2012

Franklin Covey Partnership

We officiated our partnership with Franklin Covey. Franklin Covey is a New York Stock Exchange quoted company whose partnership helps us to deliver performance development in seven areas: Leadership, Trust, Productivity, Execution, Sales Performance, Customer Loyalty and in the Education sector.
