Bob Owen
HEI Representative
Bob was in the Royal Air Force for 18 years, starting as an Electronics Fitter, being commissioned as a Pilot (Fast Jet) and then moving into Intelligence. He worked in weapons systems, sensors and imaging, and electronic warfare; he was also qualified as an A1 Instructor. The defence industry then lured him away from the Defence Intelligence Staff for the next 10 years to work on projects involving advanced sensors and information systems.
Having decided to get a belated education, Bob graduated with an MSc (Dist) in Information Systems from Sheffield University in 2004 before commencing a PhD at the 6 Star rated Salford Centre for Research & Innovation (SCRI). Bob researches project management (especially agile PM). He has run seminars jointly with the APM, as well as presenting around the world. In January 2008 he became Senior Research Fellow, funded by the Star Recuit scheme.
