Research description:
My research concentrates on confronting the challenges of successful communication and communication management within a range of organisations. I am analysing the role of individuals and different professions in determining successful collaboration. In order to pursue my research, I have established a co-operative inquiry group of 80 international multidisciplinary experts, looking more widely at communication. The co-operative inquiry group has developed its own identity and brand, Continued Communication. The Group is investigating communications in the 21st century. A website is currently in development and this will provide details of the Group’s outputs, including a communication architecture toolkit, films, podcasts and papers.
