Syndicate Groups

A special feature of the GIBS learning experience is that you will be working in a syndicate group. Each syndicate group will be structured so that there is a balance of skills and backgrounds in the team and each team will be given syndicate assignments.The programme begins with a module on Group Dynamics aimed to sensitise you to interaction issues and to start building team spirit. Group Dynamics review sessions later on in the programme will assist syndicate members assess the performance of the group and implement plans to ensure the group functions optimally for the remaining part of the programme.

Mentors

Company-based mentors are an important feature of the programme. You will need to identify someone in your organisation who will act as a coach or mentor during your studies. He or she will be required to give you advice as needed, provide support and assist with finding information or opening doors in the company where
company-related tasks are set by the lecturers.

Integration of modules

In order to link all the material together, an integration session has been introduced at the end of each module. This will serve as the ‘golden thread’ to facilitate a better appreciation of the interplay between the various modules. In addition, each module will be integrated into a variety of themes such as the customer, investors and competitors.
