MAP TESTiMONiALS CONTiNuED The benefits i received from studying MAP is the discipline and to work under pressure. The ability to work with a group and to be able to sacrifice time to meet deadlines in terms of assignments. At work i am more aware of what is happening around me and i can now relate business problems in the South African context. i recently attended the Change Management course and was able to apply the knowledge i learned from Human Resources Principles. With the knowledge i gained i can change my work environment and motivate other employees and apply it throughout my career and day to day life. Ntaoleng Mahlasela The best element for me has been the added confidence i now feel i’ve gained from completing the course. The most valuable for me has been the new friendships/networking group links i have made since completing the course. Shane Pirie The greatest benefit i have had is out-of-the-box learning. i now sit in my meetings and approach them in a different manner. i have learnt valuable managerial, and, to an extent, life skills. i have also learnt the art of having to work with a group of dynamic people and be able to get along. MAP has put me on a great path and i have received great acknowledgment of my studies and performances from my management team. Hamilton Ndlovu MAP has been an eye-opener on a multiple front in addition to my academic achievement. it has changed how i interact with people – at work and outside the workplace. i listen and am able to read between the lines and apply my mind to not only the words spoken but to the undertone message and how it is being conveyed. it has given me a different outlook on how to succeed in business. it has certainly added value in how i conduct myself and execute my responsibilities as a leader in the work place. i was lucky enough to change jobs during my MAP programme and even at that early stage, i could already apply what i was learning in the MAP class. i would recommend MAP to every leader or aspiring leader out there, it is a great investment and you can only change for the better.

COURSE OBJECTIVE The Management Advancement Programme (MAP) is a part-time course designed to assist managers whose experience and primary activities have been in a specialised functional area. The objective is to give managers broad exposure to the fundamental nature of the management process and human behaviour within organisations. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES • To broaden the perspective of participants whose previous experience has mainly been in a specialist area. • To provide directors, executives and managers with knowledge, skills and techniques that will lead to more professional management. • To develop the ability to make sound and informed decisions. • To increase effectiveness in working with people of different cultures and values. • To increase awareness of the economic, political and social factors which affect business management in South Africa and globally. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Directors, executives and managers currently employed in managing a functional (specialised function) area, such as marketing, finance or human resources management, in commerce, industry or service organisations, working to prepare for transition to a more generalised managerial function where they are expected to look at business holistically. Typically, applicants will have at least five years’ work experience, preferably in a management -related function, or recently promoted to management, or tipped for promotion and be at least 25 years of age. Applicants should also have post-matric qualifications, in addition to the required managerial experience. Those selected should demonstrate commitment to selfdevelopment and a desire for improving their organisation’s performance. The profile of MAP students ranges from directors, executives to middle managers and CEOs. The programme is also open to those within industry, struggling to make a transition into the world of business from specialised areas or functions such as entrepreneurs, as well as those in the medical profession, including medical doctors. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE PROGRAMME The programme has a modular structure of six courses of study, two non-examinable, but compulsory modules, Group Dynamics and <strong>Business</strong> Simulation. The course commences with a compulsory two-day full-time Group Dynamics Programme. Thereafter, students begin the programme itself, completing two courses at a time – in sequence. Part-time students will attend lectures on Saturday mornings or twice a week after work. Students on the full-time option will attend the four study blocks. 6
