Research interests
My current research focuses on Behavioural-OR. I am interested in Soft-OR processes and underlying mechanisms that facilitates the leadership development. I am exploring communities and information/knowledge sharing networks for this purpose. I am also interested in new methods for measuring the “extent” of leadership development. Such methods can be qualitative and/or quantitative or a combination of both.
- Behavioural-OR
- HR Analytics
- Combining Hard-OR and Soft-OR
- Strategic Management
- Complexity Management
- Network Theory
- Human Resource Management
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
- Leadership Development
- Systemic Interventions
Research projects
I am currently working on a research paper related to Soft-OR.
I am happy to supervise PhD, MBA and MSc students with their dissertations and thesis.

My teaching style is based on a systemic teaching, learning and assessment approach that I developed while studying my PhD at the Centre of Systems Studies at The University of Hull. I consider each module as a system-in-focus and apply some of the second-order cybernetics principles and the science of effective organisations (the viable system model) to facilitated students’ learning. I employ recursive performance improvement at individuals, teams, and module level. In this approach students learn the topics and also learn how to learn through enacting primary and meta-systemic tasks embedded within teaching, learning and assessment processes. This approach had proven to increase students’ motivations as well as their participations and performance.
