GIBS Business School

Profile

I am an expert on strategy, governance and ethics, particularly in relation to organisations and information systems. Governance cannot be meaningful without ethics, and both are essential to successful strategies and projects.

I also have extensive experience and interest in qualitative and phenomenological research.

As such, I have supervised 3 completed PhDs and over 100 MBA research reports, many of them in these areas, as well as conducting my own published research, and strategic consultancy work. I am an associate editor for the Information Systems Journal, a major international journal.

I have managed a multi-disciplinary team of academics and administrators in the delivery of an academic programme comprising multiple postgraduate degrees and diplomas, delivered to hundreds of students. working directly with Deans and Directors at senior levels in an internationally-accredited academic institution. I have extensive experience with curriculum design and international accreditation processes for business schools.

In summary, my specialties are information systems strategy, governance, ethics and organisational effects; research supervision; qualitative research; phenomenology; applied ethics.
