Biography

My earlier career roles have seen me covering a broad range of experiences, including:

Secondary teacher;
TAFE lecturer and educational administrator;
National Training Manager for a chartered accounting firm;
Computer Programmer, Business Analyst;
Consultant in Computer Services;
Company Director.

Following a number of years in the commercial and consulting world, my primary research interests have developed through the areas of e-business, strategic management with an IT focus, and in more recent times the security associated with those areas. Accordingly, the areas of management of IT and Information Security, governance, and organisational culture are key focus segments.

With an ongoing interest in teaching and education, a second field of research interest is in the educational applications of ICT, looking for novel ways of better utilising contemporary technologies for both teaching delivery and student learning.

Research interests

Information Security models, strategies, and implementations, particularly for the emerging entry level small and medium enterprise where barriers of finances, resources, and logistics pose significant hurdles to becoming successful e-business participants.

Governance, organisational culture, strategic management of information security, and integration/assimilation throughout an enterprise are becoming greater focus issues for the Enterprise IT research group.

Consultancy Projects
Principal research consultant for the data collection and management strategy of the PREDICT Project study at Flinders Medical Centre (2009).
