Nexus

Nexus is a leadership programme that helps younger leaders in business, civil society and government navigate the changing landscape of our country and context. Through experiential learning and dialogue, delegates are challenged to find ways around the obstacles that are holding themselves, others and the country back.

Our country requires leaders who are able to identify boundaries within people and society and who have the innovative responses required to go beyond these. Participants walk away with new perspectives as well as the long-term networks in their own companies and beyond.

What is the Nexus Programme?

Although we are all under increasing deadline pressure, Nexus is about the long term. It is less about how you will perform today and more about the difference you will make in five years time. The programme is therefore an investment in your future and the future of your organisation.

Application to the programme is via company nomination or application. Limited numbers of delegates are accepted onto the programme.

Nexus is part of the Centre for Leadership and Dialogue at GIBS. This centre develops leaders and hosts strategic dialogue to resolve the most urgent and complex South African and global challenges.

Participants on Nexus operate in the corporate, state and social sectors. They learn through experiential field trips, intimate honest conversation, case studies and seminars by leading thinkers and influential citizens across our society.

What will you get out of the Nexus Programme?

A Nexus participant will become a better business and societal leader with the potential for significant impact. This leadership will be developed through an assessed programme in which you:

Begin to understand more of yourself, challenge your assumptions and develop a better sense of your own life journey and how it can empower you to lead beyond boundaries.
