About

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.
