Curriculum:

• Developed the AI in Project Management module running at WMG, PPM.
• Created three sessions of material as well as a supporting simulation for the Decision Making in Healthcare Quality Improvement (DMHQI) module at WMG.
• Created multiple Agile and AI presentations for our project management modules.

My research explores how emerging digital technologies can enhance project management practice, organisational capability, and sustainable innovation. I am particularly interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, systems thinking, and project governance, examining how data-driven technologies can improve decision making, collaboration, and performance in complex project environments. Through interdisciplinary research and collaboration with industry, I seek to develop practical approaches that enable organisations to adopt emerging technologies responsibly while addressing the economic, social, and environmental challenges of contemporary project delivery.

Research Interests

• Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation in Project Management

• Agile Project Management, Systems Thinking and Project Governance
• Simulation, Digital Twins and Data-Driven Project Analytics
• Sustainable Project Management, Circular Economy and Net Zero Innovation
• Emerging Digital Technologies, including Blockchain, Automation and Intelligent Systems

I use this blog to engage with stakeholders in AI, Sustainability and Project Management.

My blog engages with current debates in these areas and explores theories and ideas which are part of my academic research.

AI is an emerging technology and as such there is a lack of consensus on many issues in regards to its use across society. Debate on whether to use AI is moot as it is already integrated in almost everything we do in modern society.

I am committed to maximising the utility of AI to leverage and amplify human originality, creativity, and criticality. I believe that constructivist pedagogy can positively influence this enterprise, but some assumptions regarding AI will need to change for the full capabilities of this technology to disseminate ethically and efficaciously.
