Newcastle University

Overview

I am a Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University where I direct a university research centre (KITE) and teach in the Business School (NUBS). My research interests are in public service innovation and socio-technical systems: the role that data, information and information systems play in organisational innovation and inter-organisational relationships (IOR).

I have over fifteen years experience working on and leading public sector information system research and development projects. I have lectured widely on collaboration and information systems in public sector contexts and teach on a range of UG and PG programmes including Research Methods, Information Systems and Partnership/Collaborative working.

Research Interests

Over the course of my career I have been actively engaged in over fifty research and development projects. This work is based in three overlapping contexts - the integration and information aspects of public services (in particular contexts of health and social care - including children, older people and families); the challenges of information and measurement in local governance (the NHS, VCS/Third sector and local authorities) and the role of information and information systems in education in particular HEIs.

This has led to the production of a number of academic publications including journal articles, book chapters and conference papers. The applied nature of much of the work in fast moving domains of policy and practice has also generated activity where impact is delivered through policy and evaluation reports, workshops, invited presentations, expert advice and manager/practitioner toolkits.

Keywords:  multi-agency and inter-organisational relationships; identity management; public service innovation; social informatics; socio-technical systems;

Current Projects

Australian Research Council (ARC) grant (2011-14) Generating insights for the future: A retrospective, comparative study of attempts to implement large-scale electronic health record systems. Wilson is CI of an ARC grant led by Karin Garrety (University of Wollongong) with colleagues including Ian McLoughlin (Monash University). The project will explore regional and national systems for sharing electronic health records and their role in the improving the quality of health care. The aim will be to identify and investigate sources of delay and tension, as well as future opportunities for collaboration and progress by comparing implementation in Australia and the UK. Outcomes will be applicable to other large public interorganisational systems that collect, share and use sensitive data.

Technology Strategy Board (TSB)/ESRC/NIHR funded project (2011-14) part of ALIP3 and ALIP4 programmes: Sustainable Business Models for Assistive Living Technologies (SALT) project. This is a £1.4M project led by Prof Feng Li (City). With my colleague Mike Martin my role is as Leader on WP2 the Co-Production workpackage with key stakeholders in the mixed economy of Assistive Living market shaping and provision. The overall project aims to examine and develop business models for scalable and sustainable market development in the area of Assistive Technologies and Services.

Future work 

A prospective stream of work is the development of regional infrastructures and governance environments for multi-agency working/inter-organisational relationships including the challenges of Open Data and local Community Budgeting

Implementation of information systems in the contexts of health and social care and wider societal challenges of personalisaton

Ongoing research into information systems and informational practices in the VCS/third sector including Social Value tools

Continuing thread of work on the production of useful knowledge for Newcastle University and HE sector on the challenges of strategic information management, partnership, knowledge transfer and engagement with stakeholders (including the student experience and student satisfaction)

Teaching

My teaching and executive education activity draws on my research interests in exploring the use of information in the public, third sector and higher education. I take an action learning approach to my teaching seeking to engage students through their own knowledge and experiences and have been nominated by students for the VC's Teaching Excellence award. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and have been involved in pedagological research activity on aspects of the student experience including as co-investigator on two University funded Teaching Innovation awards.

I also have a strand of research which focusses on the design, implementation and use of information and information systems in the HE sector. With colleagues I have been engaged in a range of internal and external consultancy projects (e.g. for Newcastle University on aspects of the student experience and for JISC on e-portfolios and system integration) which have been funded to the tune of £500k. As well as the direct impact of the learning from these activities a number of reports and tools are available. Findings have also been presented at a number of national and international conferences on policy and practice in higher education and a number of papers are being prepared for publication.
