My Teaching Philosophy
Learning That Transforms
My teaching is grounded in constructive alignment, case-based learning, and the disciplined application of theory to real organisational challenges.
Three Teaching Principles
01
Theory Must Be Lived
Concepts become analytical tools through cases, organisational dilemmas and mechanism-based reasoning.
02
Learning is Recursive
Students develop expertise through iterative reflection, critique and refinement rather than one-off assessment.
03
Preparing for Institutional Turbulence
Graduates learn to navigate ambiguity, governance complexity and cross-cultural leadership.
