Kmind Consulting: Building leadership resilience through women’s leadership

SDGs Impacted

Kmind Consulting is a strategy consulting firm in China working with companies navigating changes in markets, consumer behaviour and technology. As AI reshapes the consulting industry, Kmind has focused on strengthening leadership resilience by broadening pathways into senior roles and decision-making positions.

The firm developed a Women’s Leadership and Resilience initiative focused on leadership development, representation and visibility. It expanded opportunities for women to lead strategic projects and key clients, introduced development programmes and women entrepreneur salons, and launched Herstory, a platform showcasing the experiences and perspectives of women leaders in consulting.

The initiative supports a broader leadership pipeline and provides role models for emerging talent. Kmind’s approach illustrates how organisations can strengthen resilience by developing more diverse leadership perspectives and embedding inclusion into talent and business practices.
