Professional Capabilities for a Digital World

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 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.

This subject was previously known as Business Intelligence.
This subject covers issues relating to deriving intelligence from various data sources for decision making purposes. Students gather skills to drive improved decision making process for senior management based on understanding data. Students will know the importance of understanding the short and long term goals of the organisation and how these impact the decision making process. Student will use tools that enable data analysis, predictive analytics, data visualisation to assist in the delivery of delivering real-time actionable intelligence.

Get data smart. Source intelligence from diverse data supplies to help senior management make decisions that solve major commercial problems. Use analysis, predictive analytics, and data visualisation tools to generate key data insights. 

Business Intelligence and Data Visualisation

In this unit students are introduced to the approaches, technologies, and practices associated with cybersecurity in contemporary organisations. The unit engages students with the approaches and technologies applied by organisations to manage risks to their networks, applications and data from malicious attack from within the organisation itself and externally from malicious third parties. This includes the implementation of appropriate architectures, technologies as well as information management plans, risk analysis, threat and impact assessment, assurance processes, standards and frameworks. Students will learn about the legal, professional and ethical responsibilities of information risk and security management through industry-based scenarios and become familiar with approaches to information governance and assurance including the automated tools and approaches that are used by organisations.

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 aims to teach students to develop a sense of professional responsibility in the ICT domain through exploring a range of social, organisational, legal, ethical and sustainable issues that professionals face in their careers in dynamic technology environments. Students are guided by ethical principles and frameworks and professional codes of conduct articulated by professional accrediting bodies.

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 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.
