Ganiat currently teaches in the Graduate Business School at University of Bedfordshire where she supports design, delivery and management of research informed teaching reflective of her knowledge and experience in ICT consulting, persistent project management and organisational memory management. She is also the school academic link co-ordinator for transnational education partners and franchises in South America and the Caribbean. She is a keen advocate of curriculum decolonisation, inclusive teaching and learning through reflective and reflexive practice that recognises diverse learner backgrounds and varied learning needs. She also champions knowledge exchange with industry through collaborative and practice oriented consulting for students to support development of employability skills and practice knowledge through research and problem solving in real world projects.

Dr Kazeem is a recognised fellow of the higher education academy and a professional member of the British computer society (BCS), Association for computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). She is PMI, Agile, LEAN and Prince 2 cognisant. In her consulting work and research she has supported organisations with project and process management and software/ICT development as they navigate disruptive technologies and the innovation landscape. She is also an experienced ‘firefighter’ with experience of fixing problems and championing change management in complex settings with multiple stakeholders.

She is a member of the business management and information systems research centre (BMRI) at Bedfordshire University where she actively advocates for recognition of the intersections between STEM and other disciplines through knowledge exchange. She also maintains a keen interest in sustainable implementation of innovation and information and communication technologies in organisations. Given the disruptive nature of innovation in global business contexts Dr Kazeem’s research work involves interdisciplinary approaches that enhance organisational resilience including understanding the role of knowledge, technologies and innovation for strategic success. Her research outputs reflect the importance of human oriented innovation and understanding of interoperabilities and interdependencies for value realisation through process and systems improvement in organisations.
