Research
My research is focused on Entrepreneurial and Organizational Learning. Recent research projects have focused on learning from improvisation, and inter-organizational learning. The first examines how Fire and Rescue Services respond to improvisation by front line firefighters and incorporate learning from these crisis events into system policies and practices. The second examines how inter-organizational learning develops through a strategic collaboration between two police forces. Other research focuses on the entrepreneurial learning processes amongst entrepreneurs who attend venture development training sponsored by a university.
