My profile
Biography

I conduct detailed investigations on issues faced by the Information & Communication Technology end users through the use of Dooyeweerd’s Philosophical framework to generate usability issues for organisational output improvements. My current research focuses on helping organisations generate value from digital transformation.

Research outputs
My research centres on the use of Information Systems. I am interested in the integration of human with technical issues and drawing attention to important aspects mostly overlooked. This reflects my interest in developing new ways of solving particular problems. I am careful to recognise the direct experience of end users with technical matters while contributing on social issues.
