Leaders Unlimited today announced it has linked its local IT practice that is headed by Lesley Mawhinney, with the global IT practices of Korn/Ferry International, thus creating a worldwide resource that can be accessed from every and any opportunity perspective.
"Korn/Ferry International have never been represented on the African continent previously," commented Brian Khumalo, Founder and Director of Leaders Unlimited. "This relationship opens up significant opportunities for both parties, especially since we have aligned our battery of assessment capabilities with theirs in such key areas as basic skill competencies and leadership skills and are also now able to benchmark individuals on an international basis.
"This alignment is particularly important within the ICT sector as there are many South Africans working overseas who would be suitable for local opportunities and would welcome the chance of returning home," continued Khumalo. "With the ICT sector being home to a large number of multinational organisations, this type of flexibility is paramount.
"The Korn/Ferry ICT practices cover the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific, and now through this latest arrangement with ourselves in Africa, operates from their 70 or so offices located around the world," concluded Khumalo.
Korn/Ferry International, established in 1969, is the leading international search organisation, with nearly 500 consultants operating across the globe and covering most industry sectors.
