She teaches and researches the design and use of simulations and games as learning tools and processes in academic and workplace contexts. Specific applications include teamwork, project and change management, and organisational development.
She values taking action to learn. Her doctoral thesis used the term “PractitionerResearcher” to capture the indivisible nature of practice and action especially in complex, uncertain contexts subject to unexpected change.
