Biography

Dr Martyn Polkinghorne has a PhD in Knowledge Management and Decision Making using Artificial Intelligence and is recognised as being the developer of the first commercially available intelligent ship autopilot system.

At Bournemouth University, he is Associate Professor for Business and Management operating from within the Business School and is based in the Department of People and Organisations (PAO). He was previously in the Department of Marketing, Strategy and Innovation (MSI). Until recently, he was seconded to the Centre for Fusion Learning Innovation and Excellence within the Vice-Chancellor's Office to lead on academic innovation across the university as an Education Excellence Theme Leader.

Martyn is Director of the Help to Grow Management Programme. He was previously the Head of Education for the Department of People and Organisations (P&O) and before that he was the Head of Education for the Department of Leadership, Strategy and Organisations (LSO) in the Business School with responsibility for the business and management portfolio of undergraduate courses...
