Griffith University Associate Professor
Dr Luke Houghton is the Academic Director Executive Education and Associate Professor in Management and Information Systems in the Griffith Business School in Griffith University. Luke is actively engaged in research in management problem solving with over 80 publications in this field. His research follows three key streams. The first stream looks at how framing and sensemaking influence problem-solving in messy management environments. The second stream is the feral information systems project which looks at the social, technical, and organisation impacts of workarounds. The third stream involves a study of communities of practice and technology use as well as the practices of blended learning in higher education contexts.
His main passion is thinking about how cognitive models (thinking patterns) affect the way we solve problems and make decisions. Luke has completed more than 20 research higher degrees with the great majority (16) of those being PhD candidates. He has also been published in top journals such as: Information Systems Journal, the Journal of Industrial Ecology, The Journal of the Operations Research Society as well as a host of other Q1 Scimago ranked publications.

Air Power Digital Futures 2050
WED, OCT 18, 10:00 AM
Conference
What might 2050 hold for a future air force? How can people, systems and organizations evolve to create a 2050 vision of collaborative futures in a digital era a reality? In this hands-on, metaverse workshop experience, participants use digital tools in a practical visualization of how hybrid work environments could operate for the future. Through the lens of an imagined 'Virtual Forces' case study, participants will explore how organisations will have to rethink to operate differently in a digitally enabled, collaborative future. A hybrid, collaborative workflow is modelled, with participants exploring new ways of working based on digital convergence. The intent is to inspire participants to imagine 2050 in their own context, the upskilling and the changes in thinking needed to get there. This workshop draws on collaborative, multidisciplinary research on digital transformation and workforce development undertaken by Griffith University, Deakin University and Phare Consulting. The workshop facilitators would like to acknowledge this workshop draws from now completed research on agile manufacturing and workforce development sponsored by the Royal Australian Air Force through a Defence Science Partnership Agreement.
