- Apply in practice the consistent, coherent body of knowledge which underpins management strategies, managing change and project management in NZ.
- Demonstrate independent learning, critical thinking and an understanding of research methodology within their own area of specialist business interest when applied to the 3 areas.
- Critically evaluate both their own and others’ strategic, change management and project plans with reference to current research and the business environment in NZ and globally.
- Apply the theory of project management, strategic management and change management to a wide range of business and management settings and scenarios.
- Demonstrate confidence in conceptualising, designing and implementing strategic, change management and project plans.
