I have been actively involved in higher education for 20 years and specialize in business and healthcare where technology impacts those fields. I have designed curriculum for nursing, healthcare administration, business, and education courses while trying to institutionalize the use of data analytics and new technologies to assess engagement and development.
On a more personal note, I “evolved” out of healthcare. I became heavily involved with healthcare information systems (HIS) in the early days of such systems and continue my involvement in that field even today, both nationally and internationally. I have worked with the National Healthcare Systems (NHS) in the UK, Australia and Chad. One of my favorite topics to teach is Globalization of Healthcare.
My research expertise is in forecasting. The ASMAC website talks about virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Industry 4.0. However, being aware of those topics is only the first step. As noted on the ASMAC website, the problem now is “over-supply” of information and being able to differentiate “fake information” (chatter) from weak signals on the horizon signaling disruptive change.
My expertise in forecasting has resulting in my being asked to become a member of the International Pool of Experts (IPE) for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last year, I assisted in reviewing Delphi research proposals focused on research in Africa, funded by the Ministry. I am also an expert member of TechCast Global(https://www.techcastglobal.com/), a “think tank” and consulting organization, also focused on dealing with “the flood of poor information” and seeking to provide help and guidance.
