IT, People and Organisations

Research Group Summary

The IT, People and Organisations Research Group is passionate about research related to the uptake, use and impacts that digital/information technology is having on organisations, society and people -- its benefits, its potentials and its challenges.

Digital Transformation describes the profound impacts, changes and opportunities that digital technology, digitisation (conversion to digital form), and digitalisation (the process) are bringing to businesses, society/cultures and people.  It describes the integration of digital technology into all aspects of businesses, society, and how people live and interact. It is about doing things differently in an increasingly connected world that is changing rapidly with accelerating developments in analytics, big data, AI -applications, and other emerging technologies.

Digital transformation can be disruptive - think about the digital human, augmented reality/holoportation, etc. Organizations are experimenting with rapidly developing new and emerging technologies/'hot' trends (e.g. virtual assistants, Virtual/Augmented Reality, powerful analytics, IoT, blockchain, AI/machine learning, identity management, location services etc) - there is an ocean of possibilities, an ocean of opportunities, and an ocean of challenges (e.g. data privacy, security and sovereignty issues, cultural challenges, etc).

Interested in digital transformation, digital disruption/disruptive technologies -- come and join us!
