The Free Brains programme offered by the Massey Business School is an exclusive initiative for members of the Auckland Business Chamber.
The Massey Business School (MBS) has partnered with the Chamber on the Free Brains Programme, which is offered exclusively to Chamber members.
The programme will see Master of Business Administration (MBA) students working on management projects ranging across strategic growth, business expansion, global development, governance structure and management. It provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to gain access to talented and experienced MBA students who provide valuable insights and assistance with various projects.
The programme is led by Professor Jens Mueller, who has more than three decades of experience leading large multi-national firms around the globe.
“Massey MBA graduates have a reputation as practitioners. They learn with us after a long period of career excellence. Many businesses can benefit from an extra resource in skill and experience and Massey Business School is the place where thousands of businesses have trained for more than 50 years,” Professor Mueller says.
“A special focus of this programme is its consideration of the effectiveness of governance, where many organisations struggle. Many Massey MBA graduates are affiliate members of Governance New Zealand and operate to a high global standard of supporting boards as businesses either struggle or are setting themselves up for growth and expansion.”
The duration of the programme ranges from eight weeks to four months, depending on the needs of the project.
MBS Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Kelly says the School is delighted to offer free resources to the Auckland business community, while helping tauira (students) gain valuable experience.
Auckland Business Chamber Chief Executive Officer Simon Bridges says it’s exciting to offer businesses the opportunity to tap into the skills and expertise of Massey’s business students.
“This partnership will provide valuable insights and resources for management projects, helping Auckland businesses to stay competitive and succeed in a rapidly changing business landscape. Amidst the ongoing economic challenges, exploring new avenues for creating value will be incredibly beneficial for our members, and the students.”
