About bmsom
Rooted in Somalia.
Built for Lasting Change.
bmsom was founded with a singular purpose: to help Somali and East African organisations build the institutional foundations they need to thrive — through rigorous management systems, professional development, and evidence-based advisory.
Transforming Organisations Through Better Systems
We believe that effective institutions are the foundation of a prosperous society. Our mission is to partner with organisations — from government ministries to private enterprises and international NGOs — to design and implement the management systems, governance structures, and professional capacities that enable lasting success.
As a PECB-authorised partner, we bring internationally recognised ISO certification to Somalia and the Horn of Africa, making world-class standards accessible to organisations that are shaping the region's future.
Born from Experience, Driven by Purpose
bmsom was established by practitioners who had worked in institutional development across the Horn of Africa for decades. We saw a clear gap: international quality standards were largely inaccessible to Somali organisations, and local advisory lacked the rigour of global management science.
By combining deep local knowledge with the credibility of PECB accreditation and ISO frameworks, bmsom bridges that gap — delivering transformation that is both globally credible and locally grounded.
Our Core Values
Excellence
We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest international standards, from ISO management systems to every client engagement.
Integrity
Our advice is independent, evidence-based, and always in the best interest of the institutions we serve.
Local Ownership
Sustainable development happens when communities and institutions own their transformation. We build internal capability, not dependency.
Innovation
We combine global management science with deep contextual knowledge to develop approaches that work in Somalia and beyond.
bmsom is an official PECB Authorized Partner — the only accredited institution delivering ISO certification training in Somalia.
Authorised by PECB
PECB (Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) is a globally recognised certification body that validates professionals and organisations against international standards. As a PECB-authorised partner, bmsom can deliver official PECB examinations, issue internationally recognised certificates, and provide PECB-accredited training programmes.
This means your organisation's certification is not just locally valid — it is recognised by employers, regulators, and partners worldwide.
