The Institute was founded in 2004 and offers higher education qualifications in the distance mode of delivery, accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The Institute is focused on the creation of knowledge that is trans-disciplinary in nature, socially relevant, actively promotes diversity and heterogeneity, and of which the intent is to apply situated learning, problem probing and decision making as critical constructs to solve work-based problems. In doing such, The Institute intends to contribute towards the professional development of the people involved. The Institute derives its passion from preparing entrepreneurs, prospective managers and business leaders to take control of their working environments and lead their teams to facilitate socio-economic development, thereby influencing the co-creation of sustainable societies. The Institute offers a Higher Certificate in the Management of Technology and Innovation, a Bachelor of Commerce in Business Management, a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Leadership, a Master of Management in Technology and Innovation, a Master of Business Leadership, a Doctor of Business Leadership, and a Doctor of Management in Technology and Innovation, thus offering a spectrum of learning solutions that include aspects related to, amongst other, entrepreneurship, business management, innovation management, systems thinking and business leadership. Students engage in small groups, affording them the opportunity to reflect on their own learning and to integrate such with that of people who represent a wide range of cultural backgrounds and organisational realities. By integrating a framework into our programmes called the TIPS™ Managerial Leadership Framework (that contributes to the overarching field of Business Leadership), The Institute is able to promote the agility, alignment and engagement of people at work and truly facilitate a Mode 2 learning experience for students and sponsors alike, thus, meeting ever-changing organisational performance needs.
