About Us
From humble beginnings in South Africa, Pretoria, our business, privately owned, started in the year 2000 after the “scary” Y2K. Though the company started in 2000 it was registered in South Africa in 2001 as Emmanuel Mohale Consulting Services (EMCS) and in Eswatini as Mohale Emmanuel Consulting Services (MECS). We wanted to offer a full package of products and services to our clients right from the beginning, given that the market was offering bits and pieces of what clients required.
In the early days, our products and service offering included: various training video cassettes, computer based adult basic education and training (CBT), various multimedia training programs from Harvard which included communication and management programs, management by walking about, from traditional trainers to performance consultants, business communication skills, employee development program linked to employment equity within the South African context, interpersonal skills, financial life skills, change processes, values foundation, performance management, customer focused team training, executive coaching and leadership development. Some of these products and services are still on offer to date.
Our products and services tap into the potential that exists within our client employees so that they can continue to be effective in their respective roles thus adding value to business. This has resulted in us positively contributing to our client’s bottom line.
We offer you, the client, peace of mind and excellent products and services given our years of experience in the organization design/development space. We also offer products and services that we know work and have brought results for many of our clients. We continue to work with associate companies and individual associate consultants on some of the projects we have delivered on, either as a joint venture, subcontracted or our Consultants contracted directly by a Client.
