Research committee

The aim of the research sub-committee is to bring together educators and researchers to advance academic leadership through research, to stimulate future collaboration in research development, and to plan future directions for our fields and work amid a rapidly changing landscape.

This may include new ways of thinking about business processes, system development, and enterprise architecture but also work practices, cultures, and identities as the region experiences accelerating digital transformation. We also hope to stimulate future collaboration in research development.
