The future for UTS (University of Technology, Sydney)

We are delighted with the appointment of Steve Wozniak as an adjunct professor at the University of Technology, Sydney in December 2014. His passion and enthusiasm will bring an innovative perspective to the university.

He will have a leading role in the Innovation and Enterprise Research Laboratory or ‘Magic Lab’, which was established in 2002 and conducts research into robotics and artificial intelligence. Its primary objective is to understand the process of innovation and the role of information technology and its adoption in entrepreneurial practice and the business world.

Steve Wozniak is a strong advocate for technology and its impact on society. Steve has made technology functionally and financially accessible to all through his involvement in many business and philanthropic ventures. However this is the first appointment of this kind he has accepted, anywhere in the world.

Helping Business Leaders deliver better results

Today’s business leaders are grappling with a diverse array of challenges: globalisation, digitisation, climate change, organisational sustainability, a global credit crunch—the list is endlessly evolving. Establishing a competitive edge is harder than ever, and the need to innovate products and processes is leaving many in the business world behind.

We are pleased to announce that the highly acclaimed public programs; Strategic Account Management and Strategic Negotiating Skills for Leaders are now being offered within Executive Education at the Business School at UTS. These are practical courses focused on the business issues leadership teams are facing today in the global marketplace.
