Professional Doctorate · 2026
The research programme from which the Blended Intelligence framework emerged.
Research & Ideas
Research and ideas exploring problems, expertise and how people work together to solve them.
The Thinking
Different problems require different expertise, different ways of thinking and different ways of working together. Blended Intelligence provides a framework for making those choices more deliberate.
The Research
Blended Intelligence developed through doctoral research into how professionally diverse multidisciplinary teams solve problems in elite sport, alongside a wider programme of research and writing on problem-solving, expertise and collaborative practice.
