Background

Andrew is Professor of Business Information Systems in UQ Business School, where is also co-lead of the Future of Health Research Hub (https://business.uq.edu.au/research/research-hubs/future-health) and Chair of the Education Steering Committee of the Queensland Digital Health Centre (https://chsr.centre.uq.edu.au/research/queensland-digital-health-centre). He helped found the UQ's Graduate Certificate in Clinical Informatics and Digital Health (https://medicine.uq.edu.au/gccidh).

Andrew graduated from UQ’s Commerce program in 1998 and worked for several years in IT risk management for one of the Big-4 accounting/consulting firms. He then moved to Georgia State University in Atlanta, USA, to complete his Ph.D., followed by seven years at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, where he became a tenured Associate Professor. He returned to UQ as Professor in May 2012.

Andrew has taught information systems in undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs, in several counties. He has extensive experience teaching IT governance and control, systems analysis and design, and digital health. He undertakes research in three areas. His first area focuses on how effectively organisations use IT. For example, he has been studying the effective use of electronic health records in health authorities. His second research area focused on improving methods to analyse and design IT systems. For example, he has examined ways to improve the specification of user requirements. His third research stream focuses on improving theories and methods used by researchers in the Information Systems discipline.

He has published in and served on the editorial boards of many journals, including the Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, Information and Organization, and Academy of Management Discoveries. He has also served as Representative for the Americas for the Association of Information Systems and as International Representative for the Academy of Management (OCIS/CTO Division). He is a Fellow of the Association for Information Systems, Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia, served as Editor-in-Chief of MIS Quarterly (2021-2023), and is the current President of the Association for Information Systems (2024-2025).

Research impacts

My research is intended to help organisations to analyse, design, use, and govern their information systems more effectively, and to evaluate the impact of their information systems investments. Much of my work is situated in healthcare contexts, where I seek to help health services and their many stakeholders to engage effectively in the digital transformation of healthcare. For example, I have conducted extensive work evaluating the implementation of electronic medical records in Queensland hospitals and provided insights for how these systems can be improved and how such evaluations can also be conducted more effectively.
