Our operation of over 25 consultants in Asia is led by Mr. E Sivanandan (Sivan)
who has over 25 years experience working with major organisations to help
them with complex and demanding Organisational Development and Change
Management issues. Sivan has a distinguished career in HR. He was ICI’s
(then one of the three largest chemical companies in the world) HR General
Manager for Southeast Asia and the elected Vice President of The Malaysian
Institute of Human Resource Management and currently a Fellow of that
organization in Malaysia.

Sivan is the founder and CEO of TSI Consulting which is our strategic alliance
partner in Asia. In this role, over the last 10 years, Sivan has become increasingly
involved in diversity and inclusion issues in Asia. These include:

• Undertaking Diversity/Employer of Choice Organisational Assessments

In a global Diversity/“Employer of Choice” Organisation Assessment which,
in Asia, was conducted for the client’s offices in India and the Philippines.
Sivan was involved in leading the work and ensuring that the cultures of
these two regions were fully understood in carrying out the work and
interpreting the results.

• Providing Training and Coaching in Building Corporate and Inclusive
Leadership Behaviours

The firm designed and facilitated workshops for a Southeast Asia client at which
the management participants identified the behaviours they needed to practise
to build a more corporate and inclusive culture. They then facilitated exercises
to enable the managers to develop skills in practising these behaviours.

• Leading Strategy Conclaves to Develop ‘One Company’ Cultures

Sivan led a three-day conclave for the top 20 executives of a Malaysian-owned
global conglomerate firm. The executives generated a strategy to achieve more
corporate focus and synergy.
