Master of Project Innovation

What can you do with your degree?

Innovation is being promised. Autonomous vehicles, cures for the deadliest diseases, and smart architecture. But where do these innovations come from? Innovative products and services are delivered through projects. In today’s uncertain economic environment, the Master of Project Innovation equips graduates with the knowledge and skills to implement a ‘management by projects’ approach, which is in high-demand in our world today. This approach includes a set of activities such as planning, decision making, leadership and organisation all which are intentionally used to achieve efficient and effective project objectives. Innovation in project management facilitates an agile response to opportunities, freedom to experiment, exploration of alternative solutions, and a new approach that is not constrained by conventional ideologies or the fear of failure.

Product manager

A product manager is responsible for the management of a product, from its conception all the way through to launch. This will include researching customer needs and requirements and defining the why, when and what of a product.  A product manager will lead and work closely with cross-functional teams which can include engineering, marketing, and PR to ensure that the business’ goals are met. The product manager is also held accountable for the company’s overall strategy and goals.

Change agent

A change agent in an organisation will assist the company with adjusting to new business transitions and innovations. The responsibilities of a change agent include analysing changes that will benefit the workplace and produce change management plans and strategies in order to maximise employee adoption and minimize resistance.

Business analyst

A business analyst helps facilitate solutions for stakeholders by defining business needs and extracting and documenting requirements aimed at resolving a current problem or future opportunity, to overall help achieve the business’ goals.
