Corporate Growth Strategies 2025

Grow Your Business – Learn from Growth Leaders

4 February 2025
NH Johannesburg Sandton

Growth is the heartbeat of every successful business. Yet, achieving growth that is both profitable and sustainable has become increasingly challenging. In today’s dynamic landscape, business leaders must embrace a strategic mindset that combines bold innovation with calculated risk-taking. Jill Zucker, Senior Partner at McKinsey, recently emphasised, “Growth drives performance. It not only helps retain top talent but also fuels innovation in the marketplace.” Despite this, only about 25% of companies manage to grow sustainably over the long term.

The economic outlook in South Africa has significantly brightened in recent months. Inflation has eased, interest rates are decreasing, electricity supply is stabilising, and both consumer and business confidence are on the rise. The green shoots of a healthier business environment are becoming evident. Cumesh Moodliar, CEO of Investec (SA), captured this sentiment, noting, “We are in a significantly better space.” Similarly, Simone Pohl, CEO of the South African-German Chamber of Commerce, shared her optimism: “There is rising optimism.” Adrian Gore, CEO of Discovery, recently told CEOs and government representatives that achieving 3% economic growth by 2025 is within reach.

With these promising signs, the message to South African businesses is clear: now is the time to go for growth. It’s time to shape your future, plan purposefully for expansion, develop strategies that are both ambitious and adaptable, and evolve your business model to capture the opportunities ahead.

This seminar has been meticulously crafted to empower entrepreneurs and executives in both developing and, crucially, implementing a growth strategy that works.
