History and BEE Credentials

The history of the school is characterized by key milestones that have defined its evolution:

• Founded in 1993 by Prof. Andy Andrews, ex-dean of the Wits Business School.
• GIMT introduced Outcomes Based Action Learning into the SA market and originally offered the Henley MBA until new legislation prevented providers from running programmes that were not their own.
• In 1996 GIMT was taken over by Educor, owned by the Naspers Group and became part of a listed company.
• Due to the success of the Henley model worldwide, GIMT developed its own registered and accredited management and leadership programmes based on the Henley system.
• In 2007 GIMT was acquired by ExecuPrime Investments, a black-owned investment company resulting in GIMT becoming a wholly black-owned business school in SA.
