ImagiNation 2010 - Building Leadership for Broad Economic Prosperity
|
Overview
ImagiNation provides a broader perspective and develops leadership competency to navigate the complexity of the socio-economic and political context. The year-long programme, for participants in senior positions in their mid-30s upwards, builds their capacity to realise the opportunities created by an interdependent world. This is necessary for both organisational growth and for the broader prosperity of South Africa.
Participants from key sectors of society come together through field trips, guest speaker sessions and difficult dialogue. They add value to their organisations through better understanding of the economic realities that shape strategy. They become part of the network of cross-sector leaders that supports their initiative.

ImagiNation 2010 will focus on issues of importance to the state, private sector and civil society. The four lenses we will use to examine the issues will be complexity, community, change and capitalism. There will be four case studies that focus on the economy, transport, education and home affairs. They are structured as day-long experiential field trips.
In addition the class will develop the sets of skills required to realise opportunities around us. We will focus on innovation, people-centricity, systems thinking, leadership and understanding the future.
Recent guest speakers on the ImagiNation Programme include: Prof Steven Friedman, Prof Adam Habib, Dr Piet Croucamp, Dr Miriam Altman, Aubrey Matshiqi and Prof Nick Binedell.
