Personal profile

Research

My research focuses on how public organizations can create conditions for organizational learning, as well as how they can use different types of data and measurements to promote dialogue, learning, and improvement.

I have also worked on how data and performance measurement affect public organizations more broadly. This includes how employees and public managers respond to measurements and data; how data can support performance management; and how data and performance measurements influence (and are influenced by) elected politicians and political decisions.

Teaching

I teach courses on our professional master of public management as well as in the political science and public policy programs.

My teaching focuses on public administration and management and on the application of organization theory to understand public organizations. Some topics of particular interest are bounded rationality and behavioral theory, organizational structure, performance management, and organizational learning.
