Swinburne shifted focus to entrepreneurial business education and the programs moved to RMIT. The Creative Organisational Systems Group was founded at RMIT. This group included the organisation dynamics masters, led by Associate Professor John Newton, the Professional Doctorate program, led by Professor Susan Long, and the Innovation and Service Management program led by Associate Professor Mike Faris.

NIODA's
VisionValues
NIODA’s values shape and inform all that is done at the Institute.
They are of particular importance in informing planning and are reflected and lived in implementation.
Openness
We challenge ourselves to be open and transparent in all our relationships.
Collaboration
We aim to work towards collaborative relations and relationships in all our endeavours. We understand that this takes thought and effort.
Respect
We understand that all constructive work relations rely upon mutual respect. This includes respect for differences.
Dialogue
‘Dialogue involves working with others collaboratively on problems for which the best solutions are not yet known’.* This presumes a commitment to working things through to a point where differences (of ideas, opinions and beliefs) can not only be tolerated, but can usefully co-exist to produce new ways of thinking and doing.
Reflection
We value reflection as a process of making space and time to consider, thoughtfully and with curiosity, the current realities of the organisation, its context and the people most affected by it. It is a sense-making process that can bring new insights and maintain our focus on the purpose of the organisation.
Creativity
We value creativity and curiosity as a powerful resource in everything that we do.
Rigour
We seek to be thorough, diligent and rigorous in our efforts both to fulfill the purpose of the organisation and in striving for academic excellence. This is reflected in the high standards that we set.
