VOTY 2015: Best leadership development consultants in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia

Not only did DDI win gold at 2015’s Vendors of the Year (VOTY) awards in Singapore, but it also bagged the silver prize at the Vendors of the Year awards in Malaysia, in the category of Best Leadership Development Consultants.

Victor L. Magdaraog, vice president of ASEAN and S. Korea at DDI, commented on the achievement: "We are very honoured to have been recognised for our efforts in developing leaders across the region – receiving accolades in both Singapore and Malaysia".

"This was on top of the double gold we had received for the Best Succession Planning Consultants award.

"We can only thank our clients and supporters by continuing to do what we do best - helping clients select and develop leaders ready for business."

Over at the Vendors of the Year awards in Hong Kong, the gold was presented to Young Samuel Chambers, which is known for developing deep psychological and behavioural insights in its approach to leadership development.

The Vendors of the Year awards, organised by Human Resources magazine, is a long-running annual vendor rankings report that recognises the best solution providers in Asia – starting out in Singapore, and this year extended to Malaysia and Hong Kong.

In the tenth year of the VOTY research, all winners were determined on a two-tier selection process. First, the finalists were identified through an extensive online survey of HR managers in Asia on their preferences.

These finalists then submitted documentation to verify their credentials, which was validated by a panel of more than 50 HR leaders from some of the region’s largest employers.

In effect, for every category, the very end users of such services were the ones who made the critical decision of selecting the best.
