About Us

Who We Are

PBC Group is a South African advisory firm helping organisations fix what’s not working, strengthen governance, and build AI‑ready systems that are ethical, accountable, and future‑proof.

Our multidisciplinary team blends strategy, HR, ethics, risk, and technology to deliver solutions that are practical, human‑centred, and aligned with global best practice.

Company Purpose

Why We Exist

We exist to restore trust, strengthen accountability, and help organisations operate with clarity in a world where governance is weak, risk is rising, and technology is accelerating faster than leadership structures can keep up.

We help leaders build organisations that are fair, ethical, and resilient.
