About me
Associate Professor Nina Evans has worked in various Higher Education Institutions as Lecturer, Industry Liaison Manager, Associate Head of School, Head of Department and Vice Dean. She started her career as a Chemical Engineer and registered as a professional engineer (PrEng), while completing a Diploma in Education and an Honours degree in Computer Science. Nina also holds a Masters' degree in Information Technology, an MBA, and a PhD. Nina is currently employed as an professorial lead in the STEM academic unit of UniSA). In this role she focuses on line management/mentoring of academic staff, teaching and research. In her teaching and research she focuses on digital business transformation, i.e. the effect of disruptive technologies on both large and small enterprises. Business transformation is achieved through innovation, effective leadership, understanding the disruptive effect of information technology on businesses, promoting fusion between business and IT professionals, effective management of business processes, recognising and managing data, information and knowledge ('information assets') as a business asset, as well as an understanding of human behaviour in organisations. She is also interested in the unique challenges facing Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) - especially in regional areas - and how these businesses can use technology and social networks to overcome challenges. Nina is passionate about developing well-rounded graduates for the Connection Economy, where 'who you are' matters as much as 'what you do'. Apart from developing important technology skills in their university courses, IT students should also understand the “people and behavioural aspects” of the technology world. She has supervised more than 10 PhD and Doctoral students to completion and published more than 100 papers in accredited journals and peer-reviewed academic conferences. She teaches Masters' courses in Knowledge Mangement, Information Governance, Business Transformation and Innovation, Business Process Modeling, Security Consulting and ICT Leadership. Nina is also a director of ThinkingFusion (Australia) and trained facilitator of the Thinking Fusion Personal Development and Leadership programs.
