BOSTON, MA 02215<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am a Professor and chair of the Academic Standards Committee in the Administrative Sciences department at Metropolitan College (MET), which is one of the largest schools within Boston University<\/strong> (BU).\u00a0 I am also the Online Programs Coordinator for my department.\u00a0 Programs at MET are accredited by AACSB, the EFMD ‘EPAS’ accreditation, and by the PMI GAC.\u00a0 BU is a ‘world class’ institution, ranked as one of the top 40 or so universities globally\u00a0(US News & World Report)<\/em> and with excellent (top 6) rankings for online programs.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0arrived here in January 2009 from the UK. Before teaching at BU I taught at Plymouth Business School in the south-west of England.\u00a0 I teach both in the classroom and online (see my <\/span>teaching<\/a> page for details of courses), and research into the behavioral aspects of project-based management, with a particular emphasis on improvised work in the project domain.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am internationally recognized as an acknowledged expert on improvised work in project management, and have presented at major international conferences and published widely on this subject.\u00a0 I have also presented a number of keynote sessions on this subject, including one at the 5th Brazilian PM Congress<\/em> in 2010 in Brasilia.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to my academic career, I worked for over 20 years in Banking and Finance, with my later banking career being focused on commercial mortgage financing to small and medium-sized businesses, and the project management of technical, cultural, and behavioral change.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a member of the editorial boards of the Project Management Journal<\/em>, Project Management Research & Practice (<\/em>formally Organizational <\/em>Project Management<\/em>), and the Journal of Administrative Science & Technology<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
