Piotr Ney received his MBA from University of Bristol. He has nearly twenty years of international management consultancy experience, specialising in radical business transformation projects that embrace significant shifts in corporate structure, culture, strategy and operating model. He has led several major organisations through such change, both in the private and public sectors.
Piotr's research explores the inherent tensions between the working environment of mobile professionals, such as financial advisers, and their needs as classical knowledge workers. One such tension is that distributed knowledge workers need to be given a high degree of autonomy, because of the nature of their role, while at the same time need to attain acceptable performance levels and be relied on to cultivate appropriate working practices. A further tension is the apparent conflict between the dominant organisational culture and management style of many organisations, and the culture and management style that theoretically needs to be in place to support remote knowledge work.
Piotr has recently completed the fieldwork part of his research within the financial services industry.
