Today’s organisations need innovative thinkers to build sustainable businesses with a competitive edge. The UCT GSB’s Executive Development Programme will advance your capacity to leverage core competencies, stay ahead through innovation and pursue heroic goals despite resource constraints.
The programme assumes that, as a senior manager or executive, you already understand your strengths and weaknesses and have the necessary management skills. Rather than focusing on traditional functional and personal development therefore, the EDP takes a novel approach to learning and un-learning. You will be required to shed mental models that are no longer effective and develop new ways of thinking, acting and being.
The UCT GSB is a globally-accredited business school with a world-class reputation and is one of just 89 business schools in the world to be triple-crown accredited.
"[On the Executive Development Programme] we want you to challenge your thinking, be open to new ideas and question everything"
Dr Tim London, Head of Organisational Innovation and Senior Lecturer, UCT GSB
"Our course attracts a diverse cohort - leaders from outside South Africa and many female leaders."
Kumeshnee West, Director of Executive Education, UCT GSB
"The EDP brought the world into my space. It gives you a global perspective"
Nomonde Ndlangisa, Marketing Manager at the Robben Island Museum and EDP graduate.
