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.
