Rownok Urmi

Master of Professional Business Analysis graduate

In my work as a project management professional, the MBusAn has helped me understand how complicated problems and technology can be managed using various methodologies and evidence-based decision making.

Global, government and local action

There had been a good number of real world experiences, which the course directors and instructors have woven into the curriculum. I worked with a global organisation (IBM), government body (Ministry for Primary Industries) and local Kiwi brand (Parrot Dog Beer).

Innovative work

I’ve learnt how to manage complex projects using various methodologies such as spiral, iterative and agile. The Master of Professional Business Analysis bridges understanding between business owners and technology developers.

Digital transformation

Businesses across the globe are undergoing a rapid transformation towards digitisation. The Master of Professional Business Analysis touches all the key aspects of successful transformation processes.
