Dr Rob Warwick is Professor of Management and Organisational Learning at the University of Chichester. Rob switched to academia from a career in organisational change and development. He has a doctorate in healthcare policy, focusing on the interaction between policy and frontline practice. This was gained whilst working as Head of Strategic Change for a large NHS organisation where he worked on a national healthcare initiative. Rob runs the MBA and leadership masters programmes at the University. The programmes are characterised by practice based learning whereby participants use their own context and experience as the basis for their personal development. Rob enjoys working with small groups whereby learners are encouraged and supported to learn as much from each other as they are from more formal learning and lectures. For Rob excellence is about developing nurturing and trusting relationships where people feel valued and confident. It is this that forms the bedrock for reflexive and transformational learning whereby participants build their knowledge and confidence. Rob is always keen that learning and teaching moves beyond the traditions of set-piece lectures and PowerPoints to include walking in the outdoors, artful and creative practice and the power of deep and sometimes meandering conversations. In 2023 Rob won the Vice Chancellor's Teaching Excellence Award. Rob has an active interest in ethics and corporate responsibility and chairs the University’s Research Ethics Committee. Ethical practice features strongly in Rob’s teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This extends beyond the essentials of ethics policy, forms and gaining consent and extends to how we ethically interact with each other as an ongoing process of organisational life. At the heart of Rob’s practice is the use of action learning. Rob sees his role as getting people to see their world slightly differently, often through the eyes of others, so they can realise their own agency to bring about real-world change and improvement.Rob’s fields of research include organisation development, ethics, action learning, leadership and education; topics that he is always keen to bring back to the classroom and share.Rob also manages international partnerships with other higher education providers in the Institute of Psychology, Business and Human Sciences.Publications can be found on ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1926-7074
