Messe Rand began in 2009 as Randberg Visach in South Africa, created around a belief that stronger organizations are built through knowledge, capability and meaningful international connection.
As the organization expanded, its work evolved beyond a single discipline into a coordinated group spanning executive education, professional development in the Maritime and Energy sector, publishing and strategic communications, and international convening.
Established as Randberg Visach, with an early focus on professional development, consulting and institutional capability.
The business strengthened its international outlook, relationships and capacity to connect African organizations with global expertise.
From Rotterdam—the gateway to Europe—Messe Rand coordinates four specialist businesses serving institutions across Africa, Europe and North America.
We believe sustainable progress is created when strategy, knowledge, people and partnerships move together around a clearly defined objective.
To strengthen the institutions, leaders and partnerships that create lasting economic and social progress.
To be a trusted international partner at the forefront of institutional innovation, capability development and sustainable growth.
To combine global expertise with local understanding, delivering practical solutions that improve performance, expand knowledge and connect organizations with opportunity.
Our operating model brings the right capabilities together around the client’s objective, creating solutions that are informed, coordinated and practical.
We begin with the organization’s environment, priorities, stakeholders and desired outcomes—not a predetermined template.
Specialists, academics, industry professionals and institutional partners are brought together around the specific challenge.
Advisory, learning, communications and convening can operate independently or as one coordinated program.
Our goal is not only to deliver an intervention, but to leave stronger people, systems, relationships and institutional knowledge behind.
Each business has a distinct mandate while benefiting from the relationships, international perspective and coordinated capabilities of the wider group.
Executive education, public policy, governance, leadership development and institutional capacity building.
