This achievements for UiTM Operational Excellence, and the ‘near-miss’ of receiving UiTM International award 2019 (came second) had boosted FBM excitement and desire to accomplish more at international, national and university level.  Her drive to have FBM programs internationally accredited resulted in Chartered Management Institute (CMI) UK accreditation for Masters in Human Resource Management in 2019 followed by Finance Accreditation Agency (FAA) accreditation for four (4) programs, BBA Insurance, BBA Finance, BBA Islamic Banking and BBA Business Economics in 2020. Siti’s interest on digital skills was turn into reality when an inclusion of digital skills was done for an Entrepreneurship course ( a university course) in 2017. The university and industry partnership, that is, FBM partnership with MDEC in upskilling lecturers’ knowledge on digital part of entrepreneurship, and the inclusion of digital requirement in the practical aspect of the course resulted in positive outcomes for the students in terms of knowledge, and skills.  She was the driving force in the inclusion of analytics and digital courses such as digital entrepreneurship, digital marketing, digital workforce, and business analytics for its 15 undergraduate programs during curriculum review. A journey that started in late 2016 and approved by UiTM Senate in 2018. The digital inclusion has now become a very relevant, practical and a critical skill for employment or owning a business.  Siti’s vision in 2016 in the inclusion of digital courses and analytics during the curriculum review process has resulted FBM having prepared its students nation-wide when faced with pandemic in 2020 onwards.  Using the concept of Lean management, she was instrumental in putting into place an in-house built system to reduce waste in terms of time, process, and human capital. The system also captures and promotes green environment by reducing carbon footprints. This is for the comfort, speed and ease of execution for official work by students, academic staff and administrative staff of FBM. The system was named FBMIS that is Faculty of Business and Management Integrated System. The first project FBM-Student Activity Information System (SAIS) started in 2018 and implemented in 2019. The next project was focused on staffs under FBM-Human Resource Information System (HRIS). Next was on FBM students going for internship (FBM has approximately 1000 internship students per semester) entitled FBM-Student Internship Training Information System (FBM-STIS). The last project to start in 2019 was on Research. In the pipeline in the early 2020 was to have online quality system for course file, teaching file and others. Implementing the in-house system since 2018 supports the online teaching and learning activities when the country went on movement control order (MCO) owing to Covid-19 in 2020.  During her deanship at IPSis, the creation of in-house systems that include among others e-KPS, IGS Trato, IGS TAS to name a few allows administrative staff at IPSis and at Faculty the ease of retrieval of information, plan and monitor the performance of their students. Each of this system won gold at MTE, silver at iiDEX and Bronze at RIID respectively.  Siti credits her vision, drive, and ability to reimagine and improve the process and procedures at FBM and IPSis to her academic background in Operations Management, continuous support from Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellor and in particular Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic, Assistant Vice-Chancellor InQKA, and above all a productive and dynamic team at FBM and at IPSis.
