Swinburne Online’s Graduate Certificate of Management (Workplace Transformation) is a future-oriented course, designed from the ground up to prepare managers for the energising task of reimagining future workplaces.
In 2020, we changed how we work and lead, and those changes are ongoing. If one thing has become clear, it’s that organisations will need to adapt. It isn’t as straightforward as forcing new technologies into traditional ways of working, but rather changing the way organisations themselves are organised.
Workplace organisation will need to be re-thought in order to make the best of use of technological innovation, and this is where strong and nuanced leadership is essential.
Driving innovation through effective management
Effective management isn’t just about managing people, but will increasingly involve rethinking the nature of work, finding creative ways to cultivate innovative thinking and engagement in the workplace.
Swinburne Online’s Graduate Certificate of Management (Workplace Transformation) is a forward-thinking course that introduces a multi-disciplinary body of knowledge. It will build management and leadership capability, while helping students develop strategic perspectives on how organisations work, and the ways in which technology can be used to transform workplaces.
Similarly, units like Technology Essentials for Managers equip students with the broad technological knowledge they need in order to enable specialised teams to do their best work, pushing business capability, and in a way that transcends the boundaries of traditional leadership and management.
A multi-disciplinary approach to leadership and strategy
Innovation isn’t something that just happens. While inspiration plays its part, the role of an effective manager is to employ innovation and design approaches that challenge the usual way of thinking, paving the way for creative solutions.
This is the aim of the unit Leading Innovation in the Workplace – to encourage managers to play a greater role in pursuing innovation, and creating a workplace culture where innovation and collaboration is encouraged.
In the unit Designing for Change, students build upon their understanding of the innovation process and what workplace innovation looks like. Innovation can be achieved pragmatically, for example, by employing a Future Action Model that will generate the innovation necessary to propels an organisation to success.
Position yourself on the forefront of meaningful organisational change
By adopting a forward-thinking approach to your career – and building the skills you need to help you get there – you’ll find that transforming a workplace is a rewarding collaborative process that makes meaningful organisational change possible.
Embrace the opportunity to do things differently, and lead the way towards widespread cultural change.
The organisations that emerge in the future will be more socially conscious, and cultivate a vibrant and productive workplace culture that invests in its vital workforce. Acquire the skills you need to drive change. Enrol in a Graduate Certificate of Management (Workplace Transformation) today.
