12 Innovation for Inclusive Development Ø Innovation and ICTS for development: Innovation projects to help build industries of the future Ø Technology platforms programme: Through this programme we explore how innovation and technology development may contribute to improve the delivery and access to services across the sub-saharan continent Ø Innovation eco-systems and innovation systems in the developing world: How can we strengthen the capacity of the innovation system to effectively develop, adopt and diffuse new technologies towards providing inclusive growth and development? Ø Validation, feasibility and M&E : This programme will not only include independent evaluations, but to help companies setup their intervention programmes 12

13 Industrial Engineering for Financial Services Ø The programme focuses on developing a capacity area around Mergers and Acquisitions Ø The programme objectives are to develop roadmaps and decision support tools. The major research objectives are: A M&A landscape review what transactions are common and which deal types need to be prioritized? Review types of frameworks and analysis that are conducted for each defined phase of M&A and what processes / tools / data do they require to be concluded. Develop an overarching systemic approach to support M&A deals specific to particular transactions Ø A second focus area of the programme is to develop a capacity area in Fintech, Legaltech and block chain in the finance sector; 13

14 Health Systems Engineering Ø Research focus areas and themes: Supply and distribution: How can we improve the effectiveness and efficiency of supply chains and distribution networks to get the necessary resources, medicines and treatments to healthcare facilities and people? Infrastructure and delivery network design: How can we ensure that the right kind of infrastructure and delivery network design is put in place? How can we ensure that this is sustainable? Operations: How can we improve healthcare delivery operations to increase effectiveness and efficiency with the ultimate goal of improved utilisation of finite resources to improve access? Technology transfer and innovation: How can we develop and utilise innovations and adopt technologies to reduce costs of, facilitate and improve access to primary healthcare? Healthcare policy and finance: How can we consider the design of government policies and support mechanisms to improve access to primary healthcare in Southern Africa? Ø Collaboration: The research group has a strong network of local and international collaborators from academia, the private sector and government. Ø Funding: Numerous, competitive funding opportunities are available. 14

15 Operational Excellence Ø Solving advanced management problems through the integration, exploitation and integration of innovative engineering concepts with contemporary management science An engineering approach to measuring the quality of strategy execution in the insurance industry Quantification of the value contribution of management control systems in service delivery organizations A multivariate regression model to correlate employee engagement and strategic communication An optimized operating model for Emergency Care Units in Public Hospitals developed through simulation Multivariate regression analysis to quantify the impact of the killers of strategy execution on the share price of public companies Ø Bursaries available Ø Collaboration with the University of Tennessee 15

16 Enterprise Engineering, Economics, Project- and Risk management Ø Research focus areas: Building an Enterprise for the South African future Enterprises as living organisms: Antifragility Design Structure Matrices Organisation of functional units for adaptation Project Management in a start-up economy Risk and feasibility management, removing the straw that breaks the camel s back Ø Key considerations for the field: Very inclusive of other fields of study Transdisciplinary problem solving Niche engineering skills development
