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.
