Empowering Organizations Through People

Since our founding in 1966, Management Services Center has supported the development of more than 1.5 million leaders—thanks to the trust of our clients who are leaders in their industries. As the business landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, leadership decisions and organizational management have grown increasingly complex. At the same time, with a shrinking workforce and growing difficulty in identifying strong leadership talent, the need to strategically develop and promote individuals for key roles has never been greater

Our unique approach integrates business and HR strategies to build effective development plans and identify high-potential talent. Through a diverse range of scientifically grounded assessments and proven development programs, we help leaders strengthen their self-awareness and grow into the kind of talent that drives business forward.

Today, many organizations face urgent challenges: succession planning for critical roles and the need for globally aligned talent strategies. In response, we’ve expanded the scope of succession planning—once focused solely on executive candidates—to include middle and frontline leaders. This allows companies to identify and develop future leaders earlier and more systematically. We’re also investing in digital technologies and R&D to deliver solutions that are even more closely aligned with our clients’ real-world needs.

Our partnership with DDI, a global leadership consulting firm based in the U.S., enables us to deliver consistent, multilingual leadership development programs in over 90 countries worldwide.

We remain committed to building a world where every leader—regardless of title, geography, culture, or gender—can step forward with confidence.

And we’ll continue to give our all to make that vision a reality

Sachiko Wakita – President
