Our story

The Multiplex Story

Talent is like a golden nugget; it lies invisible & unexpected until it is revealed. Once it’s exposed to the sunshine, it changes lives forever.

In the years of Nelson Mandela’s presidency, Multiplex’s founders began using a new approach to talent assessment: how could companies identify talented people when they were so used to specific, outdated definitions of what talent looked like, how it dressed and how it had been educated? They developed a competency-based approach and, through the careful use of assessment, they built a movement that decades later, in different forms, continues to uncover potential and match people with job roles, so they’re able to thrive.

26 years later Multiplex operates in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America, using precision assessment, executive coaching and leader development to help individual people, teams and organisations deal with the changing contexts they work in.

Our methodology

Uncover. Transform. Activate.

Our methodology is simple and effective. Uncover and understand the data, transform the insights into meaning and direction, and activate change.

01 · UNCOVER

Unlocking potential through rich, blended assessment

Our initial step involves comprehensive assessments designed to unveil pivotal data, which serves as the bedrock for our coaching and activation strategies. At the level of the person, team or business, we decipher unique strengths and areas for development and pave the way for targeted talent activation.

02 · TRANSFORM

Executive coaching for change & growth

Building on the insights from assessment, our executive coaching bridges identification of opportunity and action. We suggest a roadmap for growth and cultivate a collaborative relationship in which people focus on what’s needed, fostering continuous improvement and personal development.

03 · ACTIVATE

Catalyse to activate change

We operate systematically, transforming insights into lasting outcomes. Activation is the dynamic process that propels teams and people out of familiar thinking patterns and habitual behaviours, towards fresh responses better suited to today’s challenges and opportunities.

Multiplex and the baobab

The baobab is to African trees what the elephant is to land animals and the blue whale is to the oceans. It stands majestic, working with its environment: it stores water through the dry season, and its fruit, leaves and branches provide food and shelter for the people, animals and birds around it.

Each baobab stands alone, a giant visible for miles. Yet each is also part of an ecosystem that is far less visible: roots that reach well beyond its crown, and the bats that pollinate its flowers at night. It is this multiplex of connections that allows the tree to stand as a beautiful giant for hundreds of years.

That’s what we do. Our methodologies, our intentions and our values are aimed at building the less visible system that surrounds people at work: sound evidence, clear roles, honest feedback and strong teams. When that system is in place, leaders can stand tall in their roles, and organisations can grow around them.
