I am Professor of AI Strategy at the University of Strathclyde Business School, and hold a Research Professor position at the Institute of Strategy and Management of the Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary since 2024, and a Visiting Professor appointment at the Faculty of Economics & Business, University of Zagreb, Croatia since 2009. I also work as an independent software development consultant.
My scholarly research focuses on talent, creativity, intuition, and the grandmaster-apprentice relationship. I conducted in-depth open-ended interviews with 20 top scientists, including 17 Nobel Laureates and two Eckert-Mauchly Award winners, in order to understand the thinking of scientists at the highest level of mastery. As a practitioner, I compared various AI solutions, explored the validity of AI, and 1999-2004 I spearheaded the development of AI software, a knowledge-based expert system shell. In my consultancy work, I advise companies on AI implementation to support complex decisions through modelling expert knowledge and on fostering grandmaster-apprentice relationships to improve organizational learning.
