Who we are

For over 30 years, Merit Business Institute’s (MBI Positive Impact) mission has been to work with our clients to help them achieve their productivity targets. We do not do training for training sake. 

 

In the main, we focus our work on the first three tiers of management: Team leaders, Supervisors and 1st Line management. Our goal being to give them the tools, skills, competencies and behaviours, with which to get their people to achieve the productivity requirements set out by their employer

 

Our goal is not only to fulfill the requirements of a Unit Standard. Our goal is to meet the needs of our client, and if that incorporates Unit Standard-based training, so be it. But we are in no way bound to the requirements of Unit Standards. Our clients’ real business needs come first.

 

We have a small full-time staff and make use of partnerships and associations with experts in their fields.

 

Merit Business Institute’s strength is that it does only what it knows it can do extremely well. All the experts who operate under the company’s banner are highly experienced and successful in the subjects that they teach. In other words, the company does not undertake any “text-book” training.

 

We adhere to the following five tenets:

 

We provide training that:

 

  • Is in context with the business need for the training

  • Meets business expectations

  • Is cost effective

  • Requires minimum time away from the office

  • Provides a measurable Return on Investment

Our Commitment

We are in the business of changing the lives of people all over the world, from employees reluctantly complying with minimum standards, to employees for whom a sense of purpose, fulfilment and significance are the drivers.

 

We are committed to excellence within your workforce. Therefore all our programs are geared to meet that requirement. Our goal is to add value to your business.

 

We are committed to providing quality programs, that are immediately applicable and usable without the need for "ramp up" periods.

 

All our programs have tangible and measureable results that are distilled into Key Performance Indicators, and incorporated into your employee's performance contract, thus providing a mechanism for determining the Return on Investment on the training and development spend

 

Our approach to learning is Quick - Easy - Applicable. We'll spend less time on theory, and more time on key knowledge, skills and abilities that are needed in today's business.

 

Our facilitators are thoroughly experienced in the subjects that they facilitate. We do not undertake any "text book" training.

 

Our involvement is underpinned by a "lifetime guarantee". After a person has been through any of our programs at any time, they are welcome to get in touch with us at any time for assistance regarding the implementation thereof.

 

We believe that an investment in people that are committed to your business and have drive,enthusiasm, integrity and energy, is a wise investment.

"What initially drew us to the programme was the combination of classroom and weekly one on one coaching sessions which focused the delegates on their assignments. The programme was presented and managed by Mark himself who is an extremely dynamic and enthusiastic presenter which comes through in his contact with the delegates as well as with management.The programme was a great success.”
