FORMING A PARTNERSHIP IN PERSONAL AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH EACH OF OUR EMPLOYEES OR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE INSTITUTE.
The Institute believes that all managers, irrespective of their background, their discipline, their jobs or the organisations in which they work, need to understand the concepts related to the management of Technology, Innovation, People and Systems
The Institute has based its academic offerings on three key pillars: • The notion of MOTIP - the Management of Technology, Innovation and People - is a cornerstone of the Institute's offerings. We believe an understanding of the integration of the management of technology, Innovation and people is of foundational importance for our students if they are to contribute meaningfully to change within their organisations. Our view is that this integration is a prerequisite for any organisation to meet its global competitiveness objectives.
• A collaborative arrangement between Professor Iraj Zandi of the Wharton Business School and the Da Vinci research operation precipitated a new blend of Systems Thinking, founded on a desire to develop a process and tools to enable managers to translate very practically the excellent concepts of Systems Thinking into applied value in their own work environments.
• The Institute aligned its frame of business action driven learning and used it as a foundation for the integration of learning within the work environment, taking particular cognisance of the educational and social legacies of South Africa.
Throughout the world managers in governments and businesses face one common challenge: The unrelenting imperative to achieve more with less, in conditions of ever more stringent scrutiny and accountability!
The Institute's response to managing operations in an environment characterised by complexity and continual change is to suggest an inextricable link between three key determinants:
INNOVATION: The ability to create an environment in which new ideas and thinking are translated into tangible bottom-line benefits.
PEOPLE: The degree to which a human community is sustainably productive because of the prevailing levels of mutual trust, confidence and respect.
TECHNOLOGY: The ability to understand the pervasive impact that technology has on any organisation, and thereafter to make appropriate decisions that will ensure competitive advantage.
