I am Muhammad Rahman, an accomplished educator, leader, and strategist with over 24 years of experience spanning academic administration, business management, human resources, information systems, and training and development. The skills I possess and have developed—such as strategic planning, project management, process improvement, and change management—are highly transferable across industries, including higher education, corporate training, technology implementation, and organizational development. I have held teaching roles at the College of New Caledonia, the University of Northern British Columbia, and University Canada West, delivering courses such as Organizational Behavior, Business Law, Human Resources Management, Marketing Research, Management Information Systems, Business Ethics, Indigenous Entrepreneurship, and Project Management. My teaching philosophy is rooted in fostering student success through innovative, student-centered approaches.
As a seasoned academic leader, I bring a proven track record in strategic planning, program development, and faculty management. During my tenure as an Associate Dean at the College of New Caledonia, I successfully led post-diploma programs, managed departmental budgets, and contributed to the institution’s policy direction. My leadership style emphasizes equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility (EDIBA) principles to create a welcoming and inclusive learning environment.
I excel in bridging the gap between academia and industry, aligning academic programs with market demands to ensure students are equipped with real-world skills. I specialize in demystifying technical jargon for non-technical users and delivering actionable insights by translating complex concepts in business, technology, project management, change management, and training and development into practical solutions. My focus on process improvement and solving challenges using technology-driven strategies has consistently increased operational efficiency and created meaningful value.
Certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP), Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR), and Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP), I bring a holistic perspective to organizational development, HR technology, and business transformation. My contributions to digital transformation initiatives and AI-driven tools highlight my ability to innovate and lead in today’s rapidly evolving industry landscapes.
Currently pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) at Wilmington University, my research focuses on AI solutions for enhancing operational efficiency in higher education institutions. This aligns with my passion for driving student engagement, improving institutional outcomes, and creating a sustainable impact in the education sector.
Beyond academia, I have designed and delivered professional development programs in project management, entrepreneurship, human resources, and training and development, including initiatives tailored to Indigenous communities. I am committed to empowering individuals and organizations to achieve their goals through impactful learning experiences and strategic innovations.
