The world is changing and with it the skills we need to make a success of our careers and businesses.

To address the challenges of this new digital and somewhat socially distant world, Dr Martyn Davies, Automotive Sector Leader for Deloitte Africa, together with world leading faculty have designed a bespoke programme for women in the automotive trade.

According to Dr Davies, the course will leave participants with insights into the latest trends shaping the global automotive industry, a better understanding of the new emerging business models that are showing up, a way of rethinking the financing solutions available to meet client demand and an understanding of how financial innovation is impacting the automotive industry and retail sector.

The course has a strong focus on leadership and the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion as a critical business priority.

Dr Davies will be joined by an esteemed panel of subject matter experts with industry knowledge from around the globe. Some of these speakers include:
