Digital transformation

Professor Andrew Burton-Jones’s research group studies how organizations learn to use new information systems effectively. A major focus is ensuring their effective understanding and use of data and analytics to improve practices and institutions. He leads a large program of work with Queensland public hospitals on their digital transformation journey.

The success of their journey will depend on their use of data and analytics. The topics studied range from individual-level studies (how data is input, retrieved/extracted, and its quality maintained), to socio-technical studies (how groups interact with data, how practices change), and to transformation topics (how organisations and sectors can improve).
