I am an academic (Senior Lecturer) at Newcastle University where I work in the Business School (NUBS). My research interests are in public service innovation and socio-technical systems: the role that data, information and information systems play in organisational change and inter-organisational relationships (IOR).I have over fifteen years experience working on and leading public sector information system development and implementation projects. I have lectured widely on information systems in public sector contexts and teach on a range of UG and PG programmes including Information Systems and Research Methods.Over the course of my career I have been actively engaged in over fifty research and development projects. This work is based in three overlapping contexts - the integration and information aspects of health and social care; the challenges of information and measurement in local governance (the VCS/Third sector and local authorities) and the role of information and information systems in education in particular HEIs.This has led to the production of academic publications including journal articles, book chapters and conference papers. The applied nature of much of the work in fast moving domains of policy and practice has also generated activity where impact is delivered through policy and evaluation reports, workshops, invited presentations, expert advice and manager/practitioner toolkits.
