and we will definitely use KMI again”

"We instituted the KMI Mentoring for Success™ program in Atlas Copco EPA and have found the
comprehensive nature of the program to be a very valuable personnel development tool, as besides its
value as a people development tool, it can very easily be aligned to facilitate many other strategic, legal
and compliance goals as well. As an integrated tool it provides a "one shot" answer to a number of
imperatives facing South African companies today."
Colin Rice; General Manager, Atlas Copco Exploration Products Africa - 2006
“I first met Mr Philip Marsh, CEO of Knowledge Management International (KMI) in November 2002 at a
conference where he made a brilliant presentation on how to operationalise a Corporate Strategy to
achieve a competitive edge. After a series of short interventions, the Corporation finally engaged KMI to
carry out a major review of its Corporate Strategy in April 2006. KMI’s experience helped us re-design our
Balanced Scorecard such that we focus more on service delivery. Initially, we had implemented the Kaplan
– Norton model, which is more profit led without customising it to our requirements. As a parastatal

3. organisation, our focus is more on service delivery than increasing shareholder value. We believe this is
the right approach and many parastatal/government institutions like ourselves can immensely benefit
from the wide experience of KMI.
Godfrey W. Mudanga – Deputy CEO, Water Utilities Corporation, Botswana - 2004

proving to be a real success, both with management and employees. The programme structure provides
a disciplined environment that promotes growth both for the company and for the individual. This growth
is holistic and encompasses not only the work place, but allows for personal and emotional growth as
well.
Mentoring 4 Success uses a proven methodology that promotes awareness, structure, growth, and
stimulates the courage to act and reach towards goals. The programme creates an atmosphere that
inspires confidence, communication, and importantly, motivation. It also generates positive attitudes and
encourages innovation and forward thinking.”
Marji Snelling - Human Resources Director, Set Point Group - 2010
“The Mentoring 4 Success Program provided an excellent return on the investment into these young
professionals. The structured approach with a well-developed program based on set assignments, goals
and target dates created a close relationship between mentor and mentee to transfer knowledge from all
experts within and external to the organisation.”
Cecil Oates - Managing Director - Ntuthuko Generation, Babcock International Group - 2009

enthusiastically embraced by the top management as well as line management and our excited new

“The Denel Industrial Properties Mentoring 4 Success programme made a difference in the lives of our
people. What a huge success! When our HR department approached me to approve the project I was very
doubtful but went ahead because I needed to score for my Climate Improvement Plan. Now after the first
team graduated I can vouch what a great investment. This programme has changed lives and shown us
who will be the leaders for tomorrow. The employees that have attended the programme have grown in
their personal and work related capacity. They got out of their comfort zone and are taking the lead in
their respective departments. Employees have completed long outstanding studies and are pursuing
hobbies as a result of the mentoring programme. I highly recommend the programme and it is not just a
tick in the box exercise but has made a difference.”
EJ Geldenhuys - General Manager, Denel Industrial Properties - 2010
“It has been a pleasure having Philip Marsh and Mentoring 4 Success on board with WBHO over the past

inspires confidence amongst our employees and managers, and significantly raised the level of
motivation.
We firmly believe that Mentoring 4 Success will enable WBHO to be competitive in the ever changing
markets in which we operate, and will enable us to attract, develop and retain talent that is critical to our
ongoing success.
Thank you for the long hours spent guiding and motivating the teams in the application of these
methodologies. The Mentoring 4 Success team certainly has the passion to make the programme work,
irrespective of the hurdles faced.”
Louwtjie Nel - CEO, WBHO Construction (Pty) Ltd - 2014
“The decision to contract Mentoring 4 Success to facilitate a structured mentorship journey proved to be
the best decision given the end results achieved.

5. Mentees grew from being just another young professional in the company, to confident, well equipped
high potential individuals that are now comfortable with Senior Employees and use this basis to grow
exponentially. This growth is not just on a personal level, but also evident in their work sphere. Mentors
discovered and developed mentorship skills that are now used in the day to day interaction, not only with
mentees, but all young employees in the company.
I truly believe that we have embarked on a process of structured mentoring that can significantly
contribute in accelerating Denel Land Systems towards our growth and future vision. It is for this reason
that we are expanding this programme going forward, and I will recommend it to any company that is
serious about developing future talent.”
