Director's message 

Changing local and global economic conditions have reinforced the critical importance of effective leadership in South African companies.

At GIBS we understand this and have designed the Programme for Management Development (PMD) to equip middle managers and above with the necessary skills for business life in a rapidly changing and competitive business environment.

We will assist you to develop a clear understanding of a number of key management functions and provide an overall perspective on what it takes to run a globally competitive business. In addition, we will present you with the opportunity to develop essential personal skills.

The PMD will provide you with effective education in the practical aspects of global best practice, with specific application to the South African market. The programme is highly interactive enabling you to address your personal business challenges in an action learning environment in which you develop a network that can last throughout your career.

Whether you have general management responsibilities or play a more specialist role and need to broaden your business and management knowledge and skills, by applying for the PMD you are taking a further step towards greater success in business. We would like to assist you on this journey!
