MCI Institute philosophy
Here's a glimpse into our commitment to excellence, driven by a deep understanding of our clients’ unique needs.
Established in 2008, the Institute has a clear purpose: to develop our talents’ capabilities and to maximise their potential to drive performance. Our foundation is built on the principle of continuous growth. We prioritise a culture that values innovation and active learning, ensuring our talents are always prepared to deliver optimal results.
3 pillars to empower our talents
At the heart of our development methodology is the 70/20/10 approach, emphasising the belief that most valuable learning comes from real-world experiences (70%), followed by learning from others (20%), and formal education (10%). This methodology ensures that our talents receive a comprehensive and effective learning experience. Here’s how we do it:
1. Diverse learning channels
We provide a rich portfolio of learning programmes, from our "Elevate" mentorship program to digital skill enhancements using our DNA (Digital Native Accumen) and DQ frameworks. Localised learning weeks and industry certifications further boost talent competencies and expertise.
2. General upskilling
We focus on refining essential skills for the modern world of (hybrid) work: from leadership and communication skills to digital mastery, including the latest developments in AI. These are just some of the MCI Institute’s focus areas – competencies that are critical in addressing the multifaceted challenges of today's rapidly evolving workplace.
3. Client-centric consulting
Beyond in-house talent development, MCI Institute extends its services to help clients address unique learning and developmental needs, ensuring they benefit directly from the Institute’s breadth of knowledge and expertise.
