My qualifications consist of an MSc in Information Systems, an MBA, a PhD in knowledge management and vocational training in technology, management and safety. A collection of my certificates may be found here.

My research interests are varied, and a collection of my published work may be found here:

• innovation and creativity

• grounded theory and document analysis
• knowledge management
• project management
• consumer behaviour
• effecting change in resistant environments.

Any spare time is taken up with photography, walking a crazy spaniel, DIY, writing and tutoring postgrad students. I used to dabble (here) and ride motorcycles (here), but there are no longer enough hours in the day!
