Since 2011, Mango and Consultancy Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company with its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, has provided effective training to businesses around Asia. Today, business globally faces ever more rapidly changing pressures: environmental, political, technological. Getting leaders ready to take advantage of the potential that the current VUCA environment affords is where Mango can help. Big picture awareness, critical thinking and top to bottom empowerment through communication are needed more than ever before. Furthermore, due to the increasingly globalized nature of the corporate world, executives must also demonstrate cultural intelligence to manage and thrive in culturally diverse teams. At Mango, the belief is that the core of leadership is communication. As the economy shifts to one that is talent-based, it is crucial for leaders to be able to motivate and coach their staff members so they feel valued and engaged at work.
"At Mango, we believe in working closely with our clients and trying to understand their business.
Their success is our success. That's why we carefully curate programs that take into account our clients context and culture. We want to help our clients see the returns on every program and so we are willing to go the extra mile to ensure application of learning", shares Alex Cummins, Director, Mango.
Mango's leadership programs have been meticulously developed over the course of the last ten years as a result of listening to customer pain points, aspirations and concerns. Mango offers workshops on a range of leadership competencies as well as a full course which covers the most highly sought after leadership skills and competencies. The team's focus on results is what makes Mango, unique. The firm is quite explicit about its desire to see outcomes at the end of every program, therefore application and behavioral change are emphasized more than excessive attention to quantitative data.
To determine the skills shortages in the client's team or organization, Mango conducts a needs analysis before beginning any training. Customers have the option of getting in touch with the team to discuss their results and how the company can aid in providing tailored training solutions to concentrate on the gaps relevant to the client's organization. Because every person's business environment is unique, the Mango team takes great effort to provide specialized solutions for each of its clients. As a result, the company never offers the same training course twice. Mango gives clients the option to track team development using live learner metrics as well as offering a comprehensive end of program report. Return on investment the elusive objective of all training is what Mango is most keen to offer.
We care about fruitful training. Training that yields real results
"We start by sitting down with our clients and listening to their pain points. We need to understand the business context and any changes that might be impacting the landscape. We then customize a program which will include a training intervention ideally with a follow-up coaching or focus group session. Post training, we like to use tools to measure behavioral change like reflection papers and 360-degree feedback", further adds Alex.
With each engagement, the Mango team contributes a wealth of experience It combines this experience with a combination of expertise in communication, psychology, and adult education. Mango attempts to integrate its training into the learning framework of clients and connect learning goals with internal client KPIs.
Future Roadmap
Despite being disrupted by the pandemic, Mango has grown nicely. The team has noticed an increase in demand from other countries in the region, and the firm is actually expanding regionally. In light of this, the company intends to establish offices in Thailand and Indonesia over the coming years. Mango will also make an effort to link the available offers to technological developments and to draw a link between the need for human talents and the availability of new technologies. The company hopes to lead the industry with this in order to achieve success.
