Research
Trudi's research focuses on new frameworks, processes and aspects of psychological mindedness to help leaders discover and implement new ways forward. She is currently writing on: designing collaborative strategies, adapting an organisation’s identity for strategic change, and introducing new strategic practices into organisations. In her Oxford doctoral dissertation, Trudi explored how scenario planning can build new social capital, generating new insights and new collaborative opportunities. Her research has been published in the journal Technological Forecasting and Social Change. An earlier presentation of Trudi’s research was chosen as one of the best papers of the US-based Academy of Management annual conference.
