Professional Capabilities for a Digital World

This unit aims to develop and enhance students&#39; conceptual and practical understanding of data analytics and artificial intelligence in the contemporary business context. Students will have an opportunity to immerse themselves in problem-solving activities requiring lateral and critical thinking by exploring structured and unstructured data, considering and applying the appropriate analytic and artificial intelligence techniques using a software programming environment for statistical computing (such as R) and visualisation tools and approaching organisational problems through data-driven decision-making processes. Further, students will learn fundamental concepts, key techniques and popular tools in artificial intelligence and how it is applied in business and industry.

Learn how to use AI to unlock data for business success. You’ll build on your programming knowledge as you explore statistical computing and visualisation tools. Use machine learning to problem solve and develop business solutions. 

This unit enables students to stand out as effective business analysts in agile software development and implementation teams. Students learn how to apply agile methods and problem-solving tools and techniques that assist in the analysis of complex, socio-technical problems which typify the nature of organisational information systems, and the work of business and information analysts. Drawing on real-world cases, the unit encompasses the technical, social and human dimensions of information systems problem solving. The value of uncovering multiple perspectives and multiple objectives, that are likely to exist in complex problem situations and which could impact agile information systems projects, is also analysed.

This unit provides students the opportunity to explore various approaches to planning and managing information technology programs and projects. Students will consider issues relating to the development and implementation of technology based on various lifecycle models, frameworks and agile and waterfall methodologies. The main emphasis will relate to the use of agile and waterfall methods, tools, techniques, and processes for planning and managing IT programs and projects. This unit will also expand upon PMBoK [Project Management Body of Knowledge] concepts, scrum concepts and integrate several recent developments in relation to understanding the human side of IT project management, such as stakeholder analysis and human resources management.

This unit examines the challenges of digital technology governance in a modern organisational context. Students will develop an understanding of the importance of the alignment of an organisation&#39;s digital technology assets to the operations and strategy of its business functions. Students will explore techniques and tools for analysing and improving the degree of alignment between an organisation’s business functions and its digital technology assets. The role of architecture as an analysis and design framework for improving and maintaining the alignment between an organisation’s business functions and operations and its digital technology will be explored. Students will examine approaches, techniques and tools to analyse the structures, processes and instruments (e.g. review boards, design councils, etc.) used to govern and control digital technology investment and implementation and apply this knowledge to develop practical solutions for real world industry-based case studies. Students will also examine emerging technologies such as blockchain and their impact on alignment processes.

This unit is a capstone industry project unit that provides students with professionally focused learning experiences during their final year of study. Students work in a team, supervised to engage with the client(s) to identify and evaluate business needs and requirements and then propose and/or develop and implement solutions. It consolidates and integrates student learning with real world practice by applying principles and concepts pertaining to Business Digitalisation. Over 12 weeks students will have the opportunity to apply and develop their analytical, critical thinking, problem solving, technical and project management skills, to design, develop, and implement practical technology solutions for real world business problems.

Ingrate your information systems learning with real world application. Call on analytical and critical thinking, creative problem solving and technical and project management skills while you work in a team to deliver bespoke business solutions.
