    The TRANSFORMATION Project captures my engaged scholarship, my work with a variety of organisations. The focus is on transformation, identifying how organisations become receptive (or non-receptive) for change. There are a wide range of resources from toolsets, case studies and video material.

    NEWID is one of my current research projects. I'm leading Bangor University's Economic and Social Benefits Analysis, Work Package 9. NEWID has kick-started the Green Industrial Revolution in North East Wales. The mission? To create a trusted, sustainable, prosperous and resilient industry in the region. Starting from the brilliant work of the region’s two Industrial Hubs — Deeside Decarbonisation Forum and Wrexham Achieving Carbon Zero — NEWID is all about teamwork. It brings together regional organisations, helps them plan how to cut down on carbon, and sets up the right structures for place-based decarbonisation. NEWID’s goal is to substantially reduce the carbon-footprint of industry in the region by 2030 — with the gold-standard of full-decarbonisation by 2050. Aligning with the Local Energy Action Plans of Flintshire and Wrexham Councils, NEWID is actively collaborating to make North East Wales a greener and cleaner place. Together, they work hand in hand to drive the region’s transition toward a more sustainable future.
