Our SingularityU South Africa Virtual Executive Programme is up and coming and will take place live online, so you can participate from anywhere!

We’re encountering some of the greatest transitions that any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is affecting every part of our lives; every business, every industry, our society – even what it means to be “human”. These changes show no signs of slowing down; in fact, they’re accelerating rapidly.

We – as human beings – have an essential role to play in this. Will we allow technology to disrupt everything, or do we seize the opportunity and make sure that these technologies are used in a positive way, solving our grandest challenges in the process? To achieve this we need Exponential Leaders: pioneers, change makers, game changers – people who embrace change and see it as an opportunity to grow and make a difference.

Are you the one to guide your organisation towards a lasting impact in the world? Do you have the courage to start a movement of positive change? Then, the world needs you!

Examine how key converging technologies will shape our future, while exploring ethical leadership in a world of rapid change. This intensive programme is intended for senior leaders in business, government, and the non-profit sectors who have the desire to have a positive impact at scale, and who want to create their organisations’ – and the world’s future – not simply react to it.

At the SingularityU South Africa Executive Programme, you’ll learn what it means to think exponentially and will develop the insights and framework you’ll need to design for an abundant future.

Our world-class experts deliver interactive presentations in an immersive virtual classroom setting, paired with insightful discussions and activities that leverage the diverse cohort of thought leaders and innovators we convene for each session. By convening a class of future-oriented senior influencers from all over Africa and the world from a broad range of industries, the programme fosters insightful dialogues with uncommon partners and builds a supportive community of like-minded peers.

The programme features SingularityU South Africa’s world-class faculty, as well as international faculty experts.

• Unlock your potential and deal with these changes
• See opportunities to solve global challenges
• Identify exponential technologies that will help with your endeavors
• Lead and transform your organisation and start a movement

The SingularityU South Africa Virtual Executive Programme is an exclusive, three and a half day virtual leadership program for executives and top influencers who want to become the Future Leaders in a world driven by exponential growth.

Exponential technologies are humanity’s most powerful tools for creating new opportunities and solving the significant challenges that we face. They demonstrate how the sustained doubling of price performance in computing power holds an immense potential to shape a better future.

We’ll provide you with a set of proven tools for integrating these technologies and nimble innovation practises into your organisation. We’ll discuss the role of the four fundamental human motivations, share the best practices from exponential organisations, and review the design principles of innovation in legacy organisations. We’ll also explain how to apply the 6Ds of technology to explore potential innovations and how to apply moon-shot thinking to create 10x solutions that can have a massive impact.

Together, these insights and tools will enable you to predict and evaluate how accelerating technologies are transforming your industry, your organisation, your career, and your life.

The programme will take place online. We will combine inspirational speakers, engaging workshops and networking. In our unique virtual experience, we’ll introduce you to the latest innovations and developments in exponential technologies and challenge you to think about changing the future by exploring moonshot ideas to solve humanity’s biggest challenges.

In a mixture of lectures, workshops, networking, informal evening discussions and free time in our virtual world, you will radically shift your perspective on the future and your ability to leverage new technologies in a highly competitive world.
