Monocle is an independent, results-focused management consulting firm specialising in banking and insurance.
 

Since our establishment in 2002, we have worked with industry-leading banks and insurance companies around the world, including institutions in the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, South Africa and throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

Who we are
 

We live in a world of too much talking and too little doing. We’ve built our reputation on the opposite.

At Monocle, we specialise in getting into the depths of our client’s systems and processes to deliver tangible results. We don’t believe the hypothetical shifts the needle, we believe in possessing the smartest risk, compliance, finance and technology minds in the industry who proudly get their hands dirty for our financial services clients. We manifest change.

Official SAS Partner

For nearly twenty years Monocle has been a trusted partner of SAS. Together we have delivered a multitude of successful projects across a range of geographies, including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg, Singapore, Denmark, Hong Kong and South Africa.

With over 40 years of experience in analytics innovation, SAS has grown into a globally recognised market leader in providing analytics solutions that allow organisations to transform their data into intelligence.

Our purpose

Empowering people to achieve meaningful change in financial services and across society.

At Monocle, we aspire to collectively and continuously demonstrate our commitment to quality, integrity and professionalism.

As specialist consultants, we strive to celebrate the joy and privilege of working in the heart of the economy.

We commit to working to a standard that nurtures, develops and contributes to our colleagues, clients, suppliers and the greater community. We strive to add value to every engagement, to leave things significantly better than how we found them, and to drive meaningful and lasting change that will ultimately make our clients more competitive and successful.

Our values
 

Our values have been moulded by current and past employees and are aligned to our business strategy. These values ensure we’re all part of the same respectful, united vision.

Our people

At Monocle, we hire exceptional individuals, each with a unique set of skills and experiences, that will ultimately strengthen our ability to provide a world-class service.
 

Our consultants are highly trained specialists, having operated for many years in the financial services industry, working intimately with the systems, processes and regulations that allow the organisations within this unique industry to function efficiently.
 

But above all, our consultants are ‘people-people’. Monocle consultants naturally work well with others, have a strong collaborative mindset and the ability to leverage their subject matter expertise to bring value to every engagement, so that our teams can deliver complex change projects, fast.

Our mission

Monocle strives to ensure the wellbeing of our all-important financial services system by developing ethical, knowledgeable and skilled consultants who are passionate about delivering positive change in the heart of the economy and across society.

Our culture
 

We believe that friends work better together than colleagues do.
 

We like to challenge traditional conceptions of what work means. We are a young, dynamic and vibrant company that values the opportunity to interact with one another outside of the work environment. As often as possible, we come together as a company to eat, drink and share experiences beyond the workplace through a range of social events, from monthly company meetings to annual functions – such as the much-loved Family Day.

Sport is also very much a central part of our culture. Teamwork, dedication, enjoyment and camaraderie are key aspects of the Monocle way of life, and every time we step onto the field as a team, lace up our running shoes, or climb on a bicycle, these are the things sport teach us. These shared experiences bond us in a way that is truly unique.
 

Finally, to be the best version of ourselves, we must focus on continuous development. Monocle employees are encouraged to participate in our extensive training programmes, many of which result in internationally recognised qualifications and certifications. We are also particularly proud of our mentorship programme, which ensures all employees have access to support and guidance from our senior managers and experienced executives.

Monocle Alumni
 

The Monocle Alumni programme is a platform for us to remain connected and engaged with past Monocle employees from across the world and within every industry to foster a sense of togetherness and camaraderie. We are very proud of our rich history and the people that have been involved in growing the company to where it is now, and we value the opportunity to keep the lines of communication open with all members of our Monocle family, both past and present. The Monocle Alumni will serve as a platform through which our members may share their news and network with one another, as well as a way for us to share exciting company updates.
