A ‘management by projects’ approach, based on interdisciplinary team collaboration, is well suited to complex and / or innovative endeavours and is redefining hierarchical structures of corporate governance in the new gig economy. Innovation in project management, including adaptable practices (such as 'Agile' methodologies) that can respond quickly to opportunities, exploration of alternative solutions and the freedom to experiment, requires a new approach that is not constrained by conventional ideologies and the fear of failure. The parallel processes of innovation management and project management need to interact, new ways of working need to be applied where time is of the essence, and the benefits of design thinking within a diverse team environment must be realised. 
 

Graduates can apply their new knowledge to a wide variety of industries and opportunities, including:  

• Engineering 

• Information Technology 

• Events & Logistics 

• Marketing & Communication 

• Construction  

• Finance & Banking 

• Agriculture & Built Environment 
   

to name a few; however, Project Innovation is expansive and multi-dimensional in its implementation across any industry.
