The experience of learning in an online environment actually helped me prepare my current team to work effectively from home.
I completed my Masters of Business Administration on November 9, 2017. I had wanted to complete the program as I was motivated to learn about business and to use my learning to obtain a bigger and better job.
Meeting my classmates prior to the program's start helped to ensure everyone was on the same page prior to completing the majority of the program online. I loved the blended learning program. The experience of learning in an online environment actually helped me prepare my current team to work effectively from home.
As part of an MBA class project, I redesigned my organization's recruiting strategy to develop more robust recruiting practices to align with the operational requirements for the business. I used Lean concepts of continuous improvement to develop a value stream map (VSM) on how to build efficient and effective bidding processes. For my MBA OMP project, I examined barriers, factors and best practices on how to motivate employees to return to work and stay at work after being on short or long-term disability. The findings will assist my organization on how to prevent injuries, reduce costs and align policies with the Canadian Labour Relation laws.
Finally, as an RRU MBA student, I worked with a small business from Victoria to redesign its corporate structure as they entered into a period of rapid growth. Along with designing a new corporate structure, I developed a Human Resource tool kit and a Public Relations plan to encourage corporate profitability and growth.
The MBA has made me a more succinct writer, I have the ability to learn about anything and the program has opened so many more possibilities I never had without it.
