My areas of expertise include the challenges of working across cultures and borders in the dynamic world of Global Business. It involves understanding the complexities of culture, their synergies and differences, and developing the cultural intelligence to navigate these complexities in dealing with issues such as value variation, intercultural communication, conflict and conflict resolution, ethics and behaviour in organisations, strategic negotiation and management.My expertise in education and training has implications for emerging economies and the development of human capital for the future, including the capabilities and contributions of women in the workplace. This expertise involves research in emerging economies, understanding the Higher Education structures and systems across different countries, as well as working with stakeholders in business and the private sector, government and non-government institutions and other networks. It also requires expertise in leadership and innovation, targeting transformative development opportunities, negotiating partnerships, formulating grant applications, and developing program initiatives.My expertise in Quality Assurance in Higher Education focuses on ensuring that Higher Education programs I am involved in (in Australia and internationally) are of the highest standards and deliver high quality education to students. This expertise has been gained in my roles as President of the UNSW Academic Board, Chair of the NIDA Academic Board, Member of the Lincoln Higher Education Academic Board, External Reviewer of Academic Programs and Academic Boards and, most significantly, as an Expert Member of the Australian Government's Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).
