What to expect

NEW IN SOUTH AFRICA. Henley’s intensive, three-day, international Strategy Programme, led by Dr Narendra Laljani, is your path to strategy mastery. Through real-world case studies and facilitator-led peer group discussions, you will gain world-class strategic insight, confidence, and practical tools for impact that work in our own context. The programme is underpinned by research rigour, but has a strong bias for practical application and action. Identical in structure to Henley’s long-running and popular Strategy Programme offered in the UK, our South African edition features local case studies and offers exceptional value for money.

The DBA shifted my thinking from 'how to fix this problem' to 'why does this problem exist?' It gave me the rigorous tools to dissect complex African challenges and build solutions that last. It was the hardest, most rewarding climb of my life.
