Leadership in a Disrupted World

Workshop presented by the Graduate School of Technology Management (GSTM), University of

Pretoria in collaboration with the Team Building Institute (Pty) Ltd (TBi).

The edge of disruption lies between today and tomorrow.

We are increasingly engulfed by a disrupted world. Our ways of work are irrevocably changed. Our futures will not be the same as what we know now.
Disruption and the future go hand-in-hand. How do we prepare for disruption? By making sense of the future landscapes that we will navigate on.
How do we lead others into coming revolutions, such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution that we experience at present? This workshop is a learning
and participative journey that puts future perspective to themes that leaders need to address to shape, influence and navigate disruptive landscapes
that they will guide others on.

The GSTM partnered with TBi’s approach to integrate inter-disciplinary concepts which are generally viewed as separate entities to create a learning
and participative journey which puts future perspective to themes that leaders need to address in order to shape, influence and navigate the
unknown. The journey will unlock the combined knowledge of future aware leaders on what to do in the future, creating an environment where
collaboration, teaming and personalisation are used to draw on experience and to lead towards future leadership qualities.
