Research Interests

Jeremy is completing a doctorate in Business Administration, researching how team culture influences performance. Change management initiatives in organisations rarely work, finding that culture is a stumbling block. Jeremy feels that the best way to look at culture is at a team level and he is focusing his research on action teams – teams trained for a specific purpose such as sports teams, emergency services and military teams.

The aim is to get a better understanding of team culture which can make change management processes more effective in future.
