My Great Reset

Following the immense socio-economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, I took a sabbatical to complete a full-time MBA at UCT’s Graduate Business School to refine my strategic leadership capabilities. As part of my MBA dissertation, I delved into the realm of integrated reports, closely analyzing how the largest 40 JSE-listed companies in South Africa disclosed organisational resilience during the pandemic. I developed a conceptual framework that integrated practices with the latest global trends in organisational resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic. Exploring the two constructs together gave me a newfound understanding of a company’s ability to create value, which, if enhanced by resilience, amounts to a competitive advantage and stronger financial performance.
