The final presentation for #OpenDay2017 is concluded by Marizanne Burger. Marizanne is responsible for three important functions at The Da Vinci Institute. These include Finance, Operations and Human Resources. Marizanne manages the Finance team who ensure optimum cash flow, management of debtors and creditors, administer payments, prepare costings and prepare for audits. Year on year, the team focuses on improving existing processes and systems to enhance and streamline these functions to improve our stakeholder engagements. The Human Resource office continues to focus on people engagement, training and development and the influence of an entrepreneurial culture as the team continues to contribute to the lives of our students. The highlight for 2017 was the appointment of a full time Human Resource person, Natashia Naidoo who has assisted in articulating the HR function. The Operations function has similarly experienced growth as related to improving current processes and systems. These include the streamlining of existing reporting structures in order to ensure efficiency in data integration for purposeful and meaningful decision making. The year 2017 has seen optimum growth as related to all Senior Management functions and business units at The Da Vinci Institute. We would like to thank the Da Vinci team for their ongoing hard work and contributions, not only to The Institute, but also to our clients, students and stakeholders. Similarly, we would like to thank you, our stakeholders, for your ongoing support. You are the reason that we strive to be better every day at everything we do! This concludes the #OpenDay2017 presentations! (at The Da Vinci Institute)

Dr Carin Stoltz-Urban is the Dean of Design, Teaching and Learning and Client Engagement at The Da Vinci Institute. As part of the #OpenDay2017 presentations, Carin shares the achievements of the Client Engagement team. This team is responsible for liaising with our clients and students in terms of coordination and administration. As an integral part of The Institute, colleagues from the Client Engagement team ensure that both our clients and students are happy, successful and assist in co-creating new realities alongside them. In addition to this, the Teaching and Learning function serves to update Faculty records, appoint new Faculty, focus on Faculty development and ensure overall quality assurance of facilitation. The Design office is responsible for the design of programme frameworks and the development of learning and assessment resources. The year 2017 has shown great strides in how The Institute engages with its clients and students. There has also been growth in how teaching and learning methodologies and frameworks have been refined and communicated to Da Vinci Faculty and facilitated accordingly to students. Finally, the Design office has reached great milestones in ensuring that all programme frameworks and learning and assessment resources are of optimum quality as aligned to the Da Vinci way. With all these highlights, The Institute is looking forward to 2018 and anticipates further milestones within the domains of Design, Teaching and Learning and Client Engagement.

#OpenDay2017 Presentations Continued! These presentations serve as a platform where Senior Management colleagues share their highlights and milestones as related to their strategic objectives that align to the strategic intent of The Institute. It is also an opportunity for colleagues to celebrate the successes of their hard work and their contributions toward positioning The Institute for the future. Louise Fuller, Registrar at The Da Vinci Institute shares highlights and milestones as related to her office of Registry. One of these milestones include the integration of a dedicated Admissions office that serves to handle programme enquiries, academic admissions and handling of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Accumulated Transfer (CAT) cases. In addition to this, the Registry office was responsible for all graduation processes with regards to ensuring that all graduates received their certificates and statement of results and all information was verified, audited and quality checked. Through her research it is abundantly clear that The Da Vinci Institute needs to embrace the utilization of technology and digitization within the Registry and Admissions offices in order to automate simple processes. This is true for The Institute as a whole and 2018 will no doubt be a year of embracing digitization in its entirety!

Dr Ronel Blom is the Dean of Research at The Da Vinci Institute. As part of the #OpenDay2017 presentations, Ronel's highlights and milestones for 2017 include revisiting policies and procedures with regards to our Design office. Further to this, a redevelopment of learning material was concluded which incorporate elements related to TIPS (Management of Technology, Innovation, People and Systems), Managerial Leadership and the Work Based Challenge. Highlights for 2017 also include focused engagement and interaction with our regulator. This improves our positioning as a private high education provider. Other highlights included the rollout of the very first TIPS Conference, as well as four inaugural and guest lectures. Finally, 70 dissertations and 36 theses were administered and uploaded on our newly developed online research repository. 2017 serves as a great year for the Research office and no doubt, 2018 will promote further positioning of The Institute's research output.
