About me

I am a teacher and lec­turer at the Uni­ver­sity of Auck­land, where my main teach­ing and research activ­ity is in the field of strategy. I am par­tic­u­larly inter­ested in:

* Strategy-​​as-​​practice a prac­tice based view of strategy,
* Pro­fes­sional ser­vice firms, espe­cially engin­eer­ing firms, and
* Innov­a­tion as strategy, espe­cially tech­no­logy roadmap­ping (TRM)

For more detail regard­ing my teach­ing, have a look at my Teach­ing Port­fo­lio. It out­lines my per­spect­ive and approach to teach­ing, along with what I actu­ally do. How­ever, it is a little out of date.

I also do a some run­ning, thanks to the encour­age­ment of Andrew.

In what little spare time I have, I’ve been look­ing into the his­tory of my fam­ily.

Per­haps unsur­pris­ingly, the areas in which I con­sult are gen­eral man­age­ment, strategy, high-​​technology firms, and pro­fes­sional ser­vice firms (espe­cially engin­eer­ing consultancies).
