Executive Education a Powerful Lever for Transformation in Africa
USB-ED, established 16 years ago as the public executive development and training company of the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB), which is based in Cape Town, South Africa, currently ranks in the top 100 executive education providers worldwide. According to Frik Landman, CEO, “Executive education is one of the most powerful levers for transformation in Africa.”
While USB focuses on degree programs such as the MBA, USB-ED focuses on offering management development programs, as well as customized programs, for individuals and organizations interested in reaching strategic objectives. Its goal is to change the way business managers throughout Africa respond to challenges, and to make a profit.
According to Landman, approximately 11 million people fill management positions in Africa, but they are not delivering. USB-ED’s unique position in Africa, the poorest continent in the world but the richest in terms of natural resources, allows it to be among the most powerful levers for transformation. They want to “increase this pool of drivers to reach the critical mass with managers who have the skills and thinking to turn Africa’s resources into a sustainable value for all.” With locations in 12 African countries and partners in various countries, USB-ED hopes to positively impact the environment and conditions on this continent.
