    Business Transformation MSc

    About

    Introduction:

    In today's rapidly changing business landscape, successful leaders need to embrace transformational entrepreneurship thinking and action to overcome challenges, seize emerging opportunities, drive innovation, create new value propositions, and fast-track growth. The MSc Business Transformation program offers a unique combination of academic excellence, practical relevance, flexibility, and a strong network of successful entrepreneurs to equip future leaders with the skills and mindset needed to transform the current business practice and disrupt the industry norm.

    As an emerging transformational business leader, you understand the importance of leveraging available resources optimally and dynamically reconfiguring them towards new products and services. This course empowers you to reinforce transformational entrepreneur behaviour traits, master growth mindsets, and gain a holistic view of business modelling and resource integration, enabling you to design and build disruptive ventures. You will be able to reinvent a family business, lead corporate spin-offs, scale up your own ventures, or pursue a professional venture-building career.

    The course, situated within the Centre for Business and Industry Transformation, provides direct access to world-leading researchers and insights from cutting-edge research programs, presenting an opportunity to integrate the latest innovation into ventures or pursue a research-related career. The MSc Business Transformation is particularly impactful for:

    1. Family business successors who seek to transform the current practice.
    2. Serial entrepreneurs and Inventors who have developed new products or services and eager to scale up current offerings and operations.
    3. Corporate Entrepreneurs who have positioned themselves to reconfigure resources to launch new ventures to address newly identified market gaps.

    Why MSc Business Transformation?

    • Unlock your grit: equip you with entrepreneurial mindsets and behavioural traits.
    • Find your missing piece: discover how to identify your knowledge gap and where/how to find the solutions; instead of teaching you every domain-specific knowledge
    • Get practical: apply the knowledge to your enterprise/problem during the course; rather than how others doing it.
    • Get inspiration from people like you: gain relatable experiences from budding disruptors who are just two-three years ahead of you.
    • Be a trailblazer: Learn how to identify and leverage (or reject) innovations
    • Go “blue ocean”. Test "blue ocean" solutions, bring new offerings to market, or create new markets to avoid competition in the red ocean.

    If you have a business challenge, or an industry problem, in mind that you’d like to bring into the course as your case, please provide the context in detail within your personal statement.

    • The course is designed and delivered by a renowned team of entrepreneurs and academic professionals. This unique expertise ensures a driving force from real-world business and industry challenges, and delivery mechanisms backed by academic rigour.
    • Students have access our Venture Builder alongside a network of over 800 alumni and industry professionals - both offering practical support in developing, launching and scaling business ventures.
    • BYOC - Bring Your Own (business) Case. This unique approach allows for the direct application of academic theories and models to real-world scenarios, enhancing the relevance and impact of the learning experience.
    • The program is highly flexible and offers a consultative teaching style. The core modules are delivered as 'sprints', mirroring lean start-up growth methods. It provides an immersive, hands-on learning experience, adaptable to your individual needs and professional goals.
