General Areas of Expertise


Research


Business Process Management, particularly tools and best practices in Business Process Design and Reengineering. E-government implementation. I am interested in researching best practices in business process redesign. I am working on tools that support the efficient appraisal and selection of available best practices, as well as strategies for successful implementation of Business Process Redesign (BPR). Decision-making methods, artificial intelligence tools as well as field studies are used as a backbone to this research. I have recently developed a special interest in redesigning business processes of E-government activities.
