Ahmed Ibrahim

In the last ten years I have been an Engineering, Manufacturing and Projects consultant. My educational background entails a first degree in Mechanical Engineering (Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria, 1995), an MSc. in Engineering & Management (University of Exeter, UK, 2003) and a Doctorate in Business Administration (University of Liverpool, UK, 2019). I am a member of these professional bodies: the Nigerian Society of Engineers, (NSE), Nigeria Institution of Mechanical Engineers (MNIMechE), Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and Fellow Institute of Corporate Administration (FCAI). This 25 year career has seen me span the engineering, manufacturing, consultancy and project management sectors.

I have always focused on asking questions that will assist me in making positive contributions to organisations that are interested in growth and broad based development – hence the transition from a purely technical background into the management and leadership sphere. The transition has been keenly assisted by the process of using programmed knowledge to resolve problems in addition to asking insightful questions (derived from the DBA study) to reveal a solution procedure for wicked problems – the type that have no right answers.

My research interests hence lie in seeking ways to make positive contributions through a rigorous and carefully planned collaborative process with the owners of wicked problems. That is the process used to complete a doctoral thesis called “A method to support Leadership effectiveness in a construction project organisation in Nigeria”. While it was specifically directed at a unique case, it holds a lot of potential for guiding the thinking of leaders willing to improve their effectiveness in any sphere. Currently, I still provide consultancy services to the project organization in addition to working in a Nigeria-Brazil bilateral development programme in agriculture that involves the transfer of a complete technology package from Brazil to Nigeria.

In addition to these diverse roles I am also seeking to contribute to research processes that involve collaboration, stakeholder management and leadership effectiveness all directed at making superior judgments in problematic situations.

Dr. Andreas Meiszner

Since 2012, I have tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid to seniors, aged 35 to 70) both with the University of Liverpool Management School’s Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program (UK), and since 2016 also with DoctorateHub. This allowed me to understand how to tackle problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked.

500+ students also implies 500+ workplace-based problems which I had the chance to look at. And while working with such an array of problems allows for quite some learningit also has shown to me that very often it is quite exhaustive for such grown up and seasoned research novices. In response to this, we thus decided to set up the DoctorateHub, so to provide training, mentoring, and coaching services to all those that struggle to get their workplace-based issues identified, analysed, understood, written up in a thesis, and ultimately resolved. 

I am also one of the DoctorateHub’s Co-founders with a particular focus on strategic development and building up of the various DoctorateHub support services that we provide. 

With this I am looking forward to work with you, wherever you are in your doctoral research journey.

  • How it works

    Weekly group sessions are hosted by mentors, coaches, and club moderators. There are both, for-free and for-fee sessions. The latter are identified with a pro icon

  • How do free group sessions work?

    To attend free group sessions all that you need to do is to register for the session to receive the session link. For club sessions you may need to join the club (for free) before you can join in the specific sessions.

  • How do the Pro and Pro-light memberships work?

    There will be times in your doctoral journey when you will need tighter support to accomplish a specific goal or milestone, such as putting together your thesis proposal or submitting a paper to a conference or journal. This is where our Pro and Pro-light club journeys come in that provide you with weekly written feedback and weekly group sessions. Learn more about our Club PRO and Pro-light memberships.

  • How do I find a mentor?

    Our doctoral supervisors and Professors also can provide you with close one-on-one mentoring. To learn more about mentoring please take a look here.

    Each Saturday, one of our mentors hosts a free, open-door session with no pre-determined agenda after the weekly webinar. The event is free to attend, but registration is required. Search and join the 'Professor is in' session from the list.

    In addition, mentors might attend the weekly club sessions. The participant list shows which mentor will be there for that session.

Thesis stage: Post Doctoral & Publishing

For the more than 15 years (with the last 10 being in consultancy), I had been looking for ways to contribute to organizations that are interested in growth and broad-based development. I graduated from the DBA programme last year (2019), the course has accelerated my progress in understanding of organizations and now the doctoratehub is assisting me in sharpening these skills towards my interesting journey...I thank the providers of knowledge in the doctotratehub in providing this platform.
