Today, the Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM) signed a distributor agreement with Omni View Consultancy (M) Sdn. Bhd, the master distributor of The Harrison Assessments Behavioural Competency Profiling System. MIM is now a distributor of Harrison Assessments Behavioural Competency Profiling System providing Malaysian corporations with a technologically driven advance system in human capital profiling. This system will aid corporations in selecting the right talent for the job, career development for the talent, measure job performance and save thousands on human capital investment.

"Having worked and trained in some of the best companies that promote excellent managership abroad, I have discovered through my experience that Malaysia still has a long way to go and have much room for improvement in talent management," said Dr Wilson Tay, MIM Chief Executive Officer.

He says, "Like it or not, the success of our companies lies within the potential of our employees. If human talent management holds the key to unlocking this valuable potential in the human capital, then we need an expert system that can provide insight to the human resource, to bring forth that potential and translate it into something measurable."

Kevin Tan, Founder and Managing Director of Omni View Consultancy (M) Sdn. Bhd says, "I remember a time when all that was required of a job was that we work hard regularly and we had a job for life. However, with the advent of the information and IT and globalisation, what constitutes a job formerly has now changed dramatically. Organisations are faced with challenges on how to match their human resource natural talents, strengths and behavioural competencies to meet the expectations of the job and the critical success factor is to find someone who can do it the best within their personality and true capabilities."

He explains, "There is no short cut in understanding the human mind and what motivates them. Harrison Assessments Behavioural Competency Profiling System will be able to do just that it is a proven system that can consistently measure a person's potential and predict a person's job success. Going beyond mere measurements of human performance, the system unlocks the potential of employees."

Dr Wilson believes that this distributorship will go well to serve Malaysian corporations in realising the need for human talent and human capital development, particularly in management competency and as envisioned in the 9th Malaysia Plan. This is in line with MIM's charter as the national management organisation and designated custodian of the national management standards, best practices and thought leadership.

Dr. Dan Harrison Ph.D.- Organisational Psychology, developed a unique profiling system. Harrison Assessments is a web-based human resource management profiling system that is used for organisation development, performance development and career development.

He studied and developed different organisational assessment methods, teambuilding methodologies and 360-degree feedback methodologies. Seeing the importance of achieving a clear psychological "picture" of the individual, he explored different assessment methodologies. Dr. Harrison's experience in Human Potential Psychology combined with his mathematical background enabled him to create a comprehensive theory and methodology that could accurately identify attitudinal and behavioural patterns. He spent more than 15 years developing the underlying framework that later became the Harrison Assessments methodology. This combination of experience led to the creation of a comprehensive personality and organisational development assessment tool, now known as Harrison Assessments Behavioural Competency Profiling System.

Omni View Consultancy (M) Sdn. Bhd. is a leading profile assessment company that provides quality products in personality ability and aptitude utilising complementary range of products.
