College of Business and Economics Annual Report 2017 39 LOOKING TOWARDS 2018 — 2020 The next three years will mark a fundamental turnaround and boost for the JBS, as it advances toward a fully-fledged business school. In 2018, the JBS will launch its first compressive portfolio of Executive Programmes, powered by its four academic departments and the various centres of excellence. This will provide learning experiences for individuals and institutions in a broad array of fields and disciplines. Over the next three years the JBS will grow and nurture Executive Education, public forums and applied outputs in an effort to provide a real contribution and impact to management, governance and leadership development in South Africa and Africa at large. The JBS flagship MBA will be launched within the next two years, with a strong focus on leadership, management and innovation in the African context. The MBA will leverage off the depth and experience of the four departments that comprise the business school and will draw on the wealth of expertise in the CBE, and UJ more broadly. This will provide a richly multidisciplinary programme, underpinned by a strong network of partners and participants from around the world. The next three years promise to be an exciting period for South Africa and the continent beyond. The JBS will be at the centre of new developments, a partner in developing leaders and managers capable of navigating the often-complex landscape of business and policy making. Our contribution will be toward developing individuals and organisations with a complete leadership that is equipped for the African and global context, geared to make a lasting impact wherever they might be. EXCEPTIONAL ALUMNI After completing a BCom Industrial Psychology in 2014 at the University of Johannesburg, I’ve established my company ‘Twice Blue’, as a strategic partner, assisting organisations to build capacity and reach their objectives through their human capital. This is done through a comprehensive Human Performance Improvement Model, which I believe drives results and affects the bottom line. My studies at UJ definitely prepared me as a business entrepreneur and contributor to the world of work. REFILOE MANYAKA Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer: Twice Blue
