Pia Adibe

As a doctoral researcher, my research focus is on collaboration and organizing, and I am drawn to research that aims to bring individual narrative knowing and dialogic methods to the core of the learning and development of sustainable systems and digital solutions. My methodological interests reside in qualitative process research. I hold a master's degree in knowledge management.
