Vision Statement
I am interested in the use of data, particularly customer/consumer data, by organisations of all kinds; the analysis of “big data” to support decision-making and enhance strategic conversations; and the impact of data sharing and privacy on customer behaviours and new business models.
My research explores the use of strategy tools, such as scenario planning and visioning, during strategic conversations involving managers and other organisational stakeholders. In relation to mergers and acquisitions, I am also investigating the importance of corporate communications while the M&A deal progresses, and the factors that impact upon the success of the all-important post-merger integration phase.
