Executive Education

Leadership Development Short Courses

Practical, focused short courses for organisations in South Africa — delivered in-house for teams of 10 or more, and tailorable to your context.

Not every capability gap needs a multi-month journey. SBI's short courses concentrate a meaningful shift in thinking and behaviour into one or two immersive days — grounded, like all our executive education, in neuroscience and sensemaking.
