Kevin Morrell’s Summary
My core interest is research into work and organisations. Where this is of help and mutual interest I also work with industry. I have done work on organisational development and associated strategic issues; for instance, advising on the connections between HR strategy and organisational learning. I have also carrried out commissioned research or reports for the CIPD, Diageo, DCLG and IDeA and numerous NHS organisations; as well as various anonymised / uncredited work for different higher educational institutions and some fairly high profile academics. Some of my consultancy has been more direct 'delivery' style, either corporate training (i.e. use of SPSS and multivariate analytical techniques) or bespoke materials / tailored lectures specific to HR topics. Recently I represented the Unviersty of Birmingham at the annual conference on HRM for the Confederation of Indian Industry in Delhi where I was invited to speak about communication, ethics and leadership.
