Managing for Impact Program (MIP) at UKZN

Impact management is the ongoing practice of measuring, assessing, and improving impacts on sustainability issues.

In today’s fast-paced competitive business environment, the demand for good managers and leaders far exceeds supply.

This programme focuses on the process skills that new and emerging managers require to work with, and mobilise people in order to achieve tangible results in and across respective business units of the organisation.

The shift from managing self to managing others requires a different set of capabilities, in order to bring out the best in the manager and the team.

This is often a challenge for new managers, who have to move beyond the known base of technical and task familiarity and embrace a new challenge of working with others to achieve results.
