We know that professional spaces are shifting at breakneck speed. AI, evolving leadership models, jobs that don’t even exist yet and somehow you’re expected to stay ahead.
That’s why we’re inviting you to step into the playbook for Africa’s future leaders with Daily Maverick at the LeaderEx Career Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre on 12 September.
Your panels include:
Rethinking business education for Africa’s future
Maverick editor Neesa Moodley will lead:
Samuel Njenga, chief strategist, Systems Thinking Africa.
Dr Shahiem Patel, academic dean, Regent Business School.
Leoni Grobler, director: executive education, Wits Business School.
They’ll tackle the hard questions: Are our institutions preparing leaders for workplace disruptions? How should Africa’s business education evolve? What skills and mindsets will tomorrow’s leaders need to thrive?
From AI and digital transformation to new models of leadership and entrepreneurship, this panel gives you a front-row view of the future.
Careers and qualifications of the future
Presented by PPS, Quinton Douman, chief learning officer at PPS moderates:
Professor Jefferson Yu-Jen Chen, Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS).
Louis-Neil Korsten, CEO and founder, Spock.
Masenyane Molefe, group HR executive, PPS.
This session explores how professionals can future-proof their careers in a world of hybrid skills, micro-credentials and lifelong learning. With practical insights from industry leaders, you’ll gain the kind of knowledge that puts you ahead before anyone else realises they need it.
Don’t miss:
- Learning from Africa’s leading academics and business leaders.
- Networking with forward thinking professionals.
- The opportunity to walk away with fresh perspectives that will make your next career move clearer (and smarter).
