The Mind Lab

The Mind Lab responds to growing digital skills gap with a new course for business professionals.

We are paperless thanks to Cloud-based communication and file management. And, with unprecedented connectedness, we can work from anywhere in the country (or world).

However, operating within a changing environment has its challenges. With a growing remote workforce, how do we motivate, communicate, collaborate with teams in multiple locations? As a conscious business, how do we fulfil sustainability and carbon zero objectives? And, how do we remain current with new and evolving digital systems and processes?

The Mind Lab’s new NZQA accredited micro-credential is a response to these challenges. Digital Skills for the Workplace is a seven-week course offering an overview of key digital tools and techniques, teaching how each can easily be incorporated into daily working life to streamline business operations.

“Change can be really scary for some, so our goal is to remove the fear and equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to fully embrace opportunity and thrive in today’s fast-changing world of work. Innovation is constant so we all need to embrace change and refresh our skills in new ways of business operation,” says Fiona Webby, General Manager of The Mind Lab.

Purposely designed to work around busy people, the programme is held on Saturdays with a combination of face to face and online sessions.

Topics include Cloud-based applications, productivity apps, design thinking, agile methods, lean thinking, remote working and support tools, and creative digital tools for visualisation, communication and collaboration.

The first intake runs from 15 February to 3 April and costs $295 (including GST). To enquire, please email digitalskills@themindlab.com or visit www.themindlab.com/digital-skills-for-the-workplace
