ABOUT GDCI
Rapidly changing environment and increasingly competitive markets impose great challenges to companies. The only winning formula of gaining and retaining competitive advantage is permanent improvement of product and processes. No company can achieve this unless being better today than yesterday is its mindset.
Throughout GDCI existence since 2006, our consultants provided consulting services to approximately 100 enterprises and delivered training to more than 2000 individuals. It all started with the offer of free of charge services within one of the donor projects that were rejected by majority of Georgian companies with the explanation that the requirements set by food safety/quality management systems were only meant for ideal cases, advanced economies and we, Georgians, were far from them. Our efforts to convince people to initiate actions immediately in order to gradually close the gap, otherwise we would always remain far from these ideal cases, were not wasted. At present Georgian companies, even small-sized, appreciate the food safety and quality management consulting and training services which are paid by them. This is the vivid testimony of the changes in attitude and understanding achieved in private sector.
Throughout these years, we made attempts to realize our vision “to be pioneers on Georgian market on the introduction of food safety and quality management initiatives” into reality and still continue to work in this direction. Some of these initiatives implemented this far are:
Our clients range from local SMEs to international companies and donor organizations. We try to find practical solutions to the problems, to prioritize things and help companies start the process of improvement step-by-step. We never provide recommendations that cannot be implemented within the existing environment, reality in which the company operates.
We passionately believe that the Georgian companies can become internationally competitive if the commitment, enthusiasm and motivation is ensured. From our side we offer honest and hard work, knowledge, experience and endless efforts. We sincerely believe such an approach to undertaking the activities will always be rewarded.

- The first case of sector-specific food safety manual introduction for small and medium-sized dairy companies.
- The first consulting company that supported GLOBALG.A.P. introduction and promotion on Georgian market without the help of international experts.
- The first intensive, hands-on HACCP courses for private sector representatives that initially were delivered together with famous US trainers and are currently held by only local consultants.
