MMU Business School (MMUBS) began operations in August 2017, when it became an official entity within Multimedia University (MMU) Malaysia with the formalisation of its operations and appointment of a Director as its Head. The birth of the School came about as a key initiative in MMU’s 3.0 transformation agenda, i.e. to drive MMU further along the path towards keeping in sync with the changing dynamics of Industry 4.0. or the digital economy.
Malaysia’s aspirations towards a high-income economy aided and abetted by the rapid digitization efforts and initiatives of both the public and private sectors, saw the need for MMU to partake and take a leading role in corporate organisational learning and developmental efforts, very much in keeping with the original intent of its birth, 20 years ago, which was: to provide the economy with knowledge workers.
MMUBS offers training and development programmes, thought as well as consulting expertise to both the public and private sectors. This is primarily carried out through both an open or customised approach. However, the bulk of its current business is through customising programmes for corporate and public sector clients.The focus of MMUBS services and programmes is primarily centred around the digital economy and innovation.
In the digital economy space, programmes cover strategy, managing, leadership, law and competitive positioning while in innovation, programmes cover design thinking, leadership and creativity. The star programme here however is, design thinking – a systematic process for unleashing one’s creative juices. The added plus of this programme is that all the trainers here have been trained and certified by the Stanford University Design School, USA.
MMUBS’s credo of being simple, flexible and transparent is very much in keeping with its philosophy of removing complexity from the equation in whatever its does with existing and potential clients. Keep things straight forward and simple is a cry out from private and public sector stakeholders, all struggling to cope with the complexities of a rapidly evolving digital environment. MMUBS has delivered on this and with quality, as evidenced by the feedback received from well satisfied clients.
