I'm now pursuing my lifelong career interests through study & work with a range of partners and organisations - focussing of course on the broad area of e-learning and e-maturity of organisations in the Further Education colleges that have been my professional life.

Much has been said, written and done in pursuit of an e-transformation that could, it is argued, benefit all involved - and their organisations. Has it happened anywhere yet? Will it? Should it? What does the future hold?

The name, PlanAR Research, reflects the above profile. The PlanAR word comes form the Plan, Action, Review cycle that lies at the heart of most purposeful activity in business and in much [though I guess not all!] of life generally. My new direction is about keeping active in that cycle - personally and professionally.

My paid work runs in parallel to the PhD research programme, ReMIT, I am doing through the London University Institute of Education. The two areas complement each other, and early indications are that the combination of academic and instrumental activity will yield valuable insights.
