We help nations,
economies and
businesses to deliver
Big Fast Results.

PEMANDU was born inside the Government of Malaysia deliver a national transformation programme โ€” not simply to advise on one.
Seventeen years on, we have applied that same delivery methodology in 31 countries for governments and businesses with offices in Kuala Lumpur and Dar es Salaam for our consulting practice.
Now, as part of a Group of companies, we have expanded the nation building mandate by investing capital into businesses and developing digital infrastructure โ€“ all underpinned by an ethos of delivering Big Fast Results.

We focus on
strategy + delivery

Most consulting engagements conclude with a recommendation. Ours carry the strategy through, establishing the targets, building the delivery capability, and working alongside the officers, managers and institutions responsible for implementation. Our proprietary methodologies, the 8-Step BFR Methodologyยฉ and the 6 Secrets of Transformationยฉ, are recognised by leading institutions worldwide and have been applied to deliver on the ambitions of nations and organisations.
