Teaching
I am currently responsible for a postgraduate module on Managing Complexity, Uncertainty and Subjectivity (MANG6515), which covers the use of "soft" methods, often referred to as Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs), in Management Science. Featured methods include Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and Strategic Options Development & Analysis (SODA). The module is taught by a mix of lecture and workshop sessions.
