Who We Are

MIEN means Expression (English formal) or Face 面 (Chinese).

According to Tao Zhugong, a legendary businessman of ancient China, one must be a good judge of character.

能識人:知人善惡,賑目不負。Be a good judge of character.


Hence we are in the management consulting services since 1999 to advice, consult and train those whom we believe will contribute to the society and to only those that really need our services.

We are keen to work with people who are sincere, open to share and learn new ideas, passionate in believing and doing what they do and trusting those involved in getting the results.

To know a person's real mien, comes from one with experiences, knowledge and gut-feel. We are the MIENS consultants.

Our Vision
To be a
Global Management Consulting Firm
Originating from Asia.


Our Mission
To provide timely advice and consultative programs
that assist clients and their staff to achieve
their strategic goals given
the limited resources available.

What We Believe

The Meaning of Life

In the world of electronics and telecommunication, almost all things in life has been arranged, tagged and traceable. There is no other ladder except the ones that lead upward in life. In some cases, it is totally unnecessary to know who is doing the leading or who is being lead. The case is true when a mailman was asked, "Do you know who is the current CEO?" and the reply was "Does he know the names of the mail-men that come into his office, every day?"

Life Is Not Just About Living

It is about meeting People and remembering them for the time and space that we stand together, being in the one Historic Moment. The moment nowadays are being replaced by the very things that we create for others - computers, cell-phones, et cetera.

Time to communicate nowadays are getting shorter and shorter perhaps less meaningful. After all, there are people who will claim, it is all "a number game".

Values

A person who lives and values life must be given opportunities to be or to do better. Consciously or unconsciously, we all try to make our lifes better for self or others. We have all "invested" our interest in life: the way we behave, the skills that we learn and the Will to be present, accountable for this time, now and tomorrow. No one is just an etching on a tree.

Set a Living Grafitti

Soldiers from Napoleon campaigning in Egypt carved names on some of the ancient monuments. Among them, the 19th century, General Baron Auguste F.M. Colbert. He died after being shot by a British soldier at the Cacabelas Bridge near Villafranca in Spain on 3rd January 1809. That "small" soldier, his name was a 95th rifleman, Thomas Plunkett, lay on his back and shot the general through the head. By 21st century his name is bigger than Sir John Moore who had put a wager on who can "execute" the French General.

We are suggesting, make history and make yourself known to family, friends and work. But ideally, do not besmirch those who have also contributed to the their own values and system of belief.

Historic Moments

The former financial auditor, Erasmus "Gray" Koay treasured his time studying financial records, agreements, correspondences and supporting documents. Those are past documents that the Top Managers do not find them as interesting as where will our business be in 5 years from today!

Erasmus who is also an avid historian concluded that in cases where companies failed to live to expectations are direct results to business owners choosing to live in the shadows of past successes and also not having more strategic options to choose from.

This resulted in the birth of Mien Universal Services that allows Erasmus to present ideas from successful businesses and creating better ideas and strategies.
