As a result, the pulse of the external and internal stakeholders were understood bringing a balance  blended with a HR Outside-In and Inside-Out perspectives to business when developing Competency Framework.

“The time MTI spent understanding our business, listening to customers, understanding the market, consumer guests’ expectations and dynamics of the organizations both internal & external stakeholders have enabled the development of an internationally recognized breakthrough HR competency framework. In doing so, it is a reflection of the quality and practically applicable HR model that can even be applied to any industry of any size and shape”, said Mr. Demetrious Perera (General Manager – Human Resources, Legal & ICT), Toyota Lanka.
