George Allan obtained his BSc (Reading University
UK 1967), MSc in IT (MOD 1980) and PhD in
Information Systems (Portsmouth University 2003). During his career as IT
Project Manager for several large companies in UK
he realised that all problems stem from how people
handle situations. His interests and techniques shifted from statistical
analysis to finding more appropriate ways to investigate and solve
socio-technical problems. Dr Allan learned the Grounded Theory methodology
from its originator, Dr Barney Glaser by attending a series of European
seminars. George now applies Grounded Theory to IT project management
situations and has a growing portfolio of publications in both ITPM and GT as
a research method. Dr Allan also
helps PhD students across the world with their understanding of GT in other
discipline areas.
