In this environment, success is no longer just about experience \u2013 it\u2019s about the ability to make sense of complexity and take informed, strategic action.<\/p>\n<p>Many senior executives are now asking how they can move beyond generalist thinking and develop the depth needed to lead effectively in a complex world.<\/p>\n<p>The Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) has developed a portfolio of research-led Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Business Management programmes, designed specifically for experienced professionals looking to deepen their strategic judgement, strengthen their analytical capabilities, and lead with greater clarity in uncertain environments.<\/p>\n<p>In this webinar, hosted by Moneyweb\u2019s Jeremy Maggs, Dr Jill Bogie, Prof Nicola Kleyn, Dr Dots Ndletyana, and Prof Albert W\u00f6cke will explore how each of GIBS\u2019s four MPhil programmes develops distinct strategic and leadership capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The programmes equip senior managers and executives to make stronger decisions in complex environments across both the private and public sectors, including large national and multinational organisations as well as state-owned enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, the session will help prospective students identify which MPhil best aligns with their context and career goals.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be plenty of time for questions at the end of the session, allowing attendees to engage directly and gain clarity on which programme will best support their next steps.<\/p>\n<p>The session will cover:<\/p>\n<p>The key differences between the four MPhil programmes and how each is designed for a specific leadership and strategy focus:<\/p>\n<p>Corporate Strategy (Navigating long\u2011term strategic complexity);<br \/>\nInternational Business (global and cross-border strategy);<br \/>\nChange Leadership (Human-centred leadership for driving organisational change); and<br \/>\nLeading in New Economies (Sensing and sense-making. Strategic foresight for the macro environment).<\/p>\n<p>How research-led learning enables senior managers and executives to move beyond binary thinking and make better decisions using multiple perspectives.<br \/>\nReal-world examples of the complex decisions senior managers and executives face \u2013 and how structured research improves outcomes.<br \/>\nHow participants evolve during the programme, gaining deeper insight, broader perspectives, and stronger strategic confidence.<br \/>\nThe value of learning alongside a network of experienced executives across industries.<\/p>\n<p>This webinar will take place on 2 April at 2pm.<\/p>\n<p>Register here<\/p>\n<p>More about the guests:<\/p>\n<p>Prof Nicola Kleyn <br \/>Lead Faculty \u2013 MPhil specialising in Leading in New Economies, GIBS<\/p>\n<p>Professor Nicola Kleyn is an Extraordinary Professor at GIBS and a former Dean of both GIBS and the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University.
