Kieran Fenby-Hulse

I am an experienced lecturer, facilitator, and researcher with over 15 years experience in research, strategy development, and organisation development

In all my teaching, research and enterprise practices I draw on arts-based techniques and practices to explore, challenge and interrogate notions of responsible and shared leadership, continuing professional development (CPD), and communication and engagement.

My research explores how arts-based approaches can inform approaches to leadership, continuing professional development (CPD), and communication and engagement. I am currently working on three interrelated projects:

• Arts for Business: this projects looks at how artistic research and practice can contribute to business performance and productivity, with a focus on how creative thinking and practice can foster meaningful engagement with issues such as stakeholder and community engagement and social and environmental impact. 
• Executive Cabaret: this project looks at how the medium of cabaret can provide an alternative format for executive education that increased both engagement and learning while unsettling traditional notions of CPD, learning and development, and executive education.
• Town Centre Theatrics: this project considers the contribution businesses and business leaders make to how a town centre is experienced by residents and visitors. Rooted in theories of shared leadership, community engagement, experiencescapes, and performance and theatre, the project looks at a systems approach to regenerating town centres, with an initial focus on the British Seaside Town.

I am the co-founder and managing editor for the Journal of Research Management and Administration, a reviewer for the International Journal of Doctoral Studies, and member of ARMA's EDI Advisory Group.
