Professor Edward Ochieng

Extensive experience and knowledge relating to organisational challenges and solution development for managing large capital and heavy engineering projects. My research interest with people and organisational challenges continues, but has now been complemented by the need for wider understanding of infrastructure systems, project productivity, project value creation, capital effectiveness, project complexity and political economy and the management of projects. Edited 31 book chapters, published 4 books, 30 book chapters and over 90 refereed papers in high-ranking journals and conferences. Collaborated with academics, industrialists and the Infrastructure Project Authority (IPA) to examine frameworks that could be used to identify and estimate benefits and value (including capital effectiveness) at the front end of public sector projects. Secured an estimated £834,000.00 from a range of funders for several projects and consultancy in project management. Collaborated with academics and industrialists to investigate the promising new technology cryogenic energy storage (CES) to solve the problem of how to store excess renewable energy – the research team was awarded €7 million.
