The program will focus on the resilience of South African businesses, despite various contextual setbacks and ambiguity.
Thriving Amidst Volatility
Despite the current economic, political, and environmental challenges facing the globe – and the resultant volatility that they create – the opportunity to generate significant business value still exists in abundance.
Throughout this programme, students will gain exposure to South African businesses that have leveraged opportunity despite operating in a climate of uncertainty, ambiguity, and constant change. From small businesses and start-ups to established corporate giants and multinational enterprises, our EMBA cohort will engage with business leaders who have applied innovative approaches to complex situations. In addition to these engagements, students will develop creative solutions to perplexing real-world challenges. Join us in this exciting journey of learning and growth!
The Experience
I really enjoyed the EMBA Consortium Week. It was clear that the program was carefully thought out designed to make the experience for us participants as good as possible. The various activities came in a good sequence. I like that the first lectures dealt with South Africa and its economy from a broader perspective, then went into different specific companies and specialized themes. The icebreaker activity in the form of escape room was great.
This was a phenomenal programme.
Do not change a thing! A demanding but incredibly rewarding week with the most amazing cohort and staff!!
It was simply lovely. I loved getting to know the African and South-African context of business and the participation of SA students was a great boon.
The Program
The emphasis on diversity, global understanding, and responsible leadership has not only enhanced my knowledge and skills but has also made me a more culturally aware and empathetic person.
Innovation as a mindset – it seems that this is somewhat of a native South African trait, to innovate to overcome problems, and that this translates to entrepreneurship so naturally was fascinating.
Navigating multicultural social environments requires active listening, identifying one’s own bias, and being as accommodating as possibly with regards to language and cultural barriers.
